March Happiness

March was a great month at Juniper Village at Aurora, with Fat Tuesday celebrations, art museum visits, best friend talent shows, and most of all, a St. Patrick's Day celebration.  At the best friends talent show, the staff joined with their buddy to demonstrate the amazing talents we all have.  Of course with any talent show there is friendly competition, and with that, Marlene and her best friends showed their beauty and strutted their fashion down the runway.  On St. Patrick's Day, the Irish Step Dancers performed at their best, as expected from years prior at Juniper Village, and the residents and families had a grand of a time too.  So, with Colorado getting a taste of spring, it is that time that us Coloradans know that the April snow showers just may bring our May flowers.  The blooming of flowers and the budding of trees is another aspect of spring that allows us to relate and find our treasure within.

Juniper Village: A Performer in Art & Wellbeing

Juniper Village at Aurora celebrated Fat Tuesday with a Cajun style dinner of Jambalaya and jammed out listening to Gary Sattazahn play his digital trumpet. Along with the celebration of Fat Tuesday, the
residents made Mardi Gras masks and paraded around Town Square showing
off their talented art pieces. Sometimes in order to help us explore our creativity we must wear the "masks" that give us a different
perception on how to engage with our inner selves. Juniper Village also looks forward to more ways that our community can help our
residents explore their creativity through visits to art museums and having a performer come in to give us guided imagery. Come join Juniper Village at Aurora on March 17, 2010 for our next big event; St. Patrick's Day celebration as the Irish Step Dancers put on their best performance, it's one you can't miss!
