Casino Night...Lucky 13

Juniper Village at Aurora celebrated our 13th anniversary on August 13th. Nothing but luck this evening...especially with the Wheel of Fortune, the Black Jack table and dealer, and a Roulette Wheel.

Residents, Families, Associates, and community members came to try their luck. What a great opportunity to play the games and remember the times we've had at a real casino, without the worries of using real money. The prize? Of course, a laughing good time!! The ultimate prize has been the on-going comments, for days after our celebration, from residents, letting us know what a wonderful time they had. As one gentleman stated, "it's the best time I've had so far".

The ambiance was to rave on. Everything from fanciful hors d'oeuvres, jack pot cocktails, winning tunes, and smiles galore...it certainly proved that turning 13, for Juniper Village at Aurora, is a very good thing (whether luck has anything to do with it or not).

We also continued our efforts of fundraising for the Walk to End Alzheimer's with a silent auction. Products and services were donated from local business companies and members. As of today, we have raised over $1000 for the Alzheimer's Association!! Thank you to everyone that participated. The "Walk" is coming up on Saturday, September 15th--join our team and walk!

Chill Off Fundraiser!

Juniper Village at Aurora hosted an Ice Cream Chill Off fundraiser benefit for the Alliance for Healthy Aging. This was a perfect opportunity for us to get those ice cream makers out and test our skills at making home made ice cream!! It was exactly was needed on this scorcher of a warm day in Colorado. We even had Jerry come to "judge" the ice creams. Participants brought in Mint Chocolate Chip, Peach Amaretto, and Chocolate flavors. The winner was crowned with the Ice Cream Crown! Best Flavor...Peach Amaretto.

The Alliance For Healthy Aging is a non-profit organization, whose mission is "education prior to need" for our aging adults population. Being able help the "sandwich" generation, and anyone else experiencing the challenges faced in the role of a caregiver to make well educated decision before finding themselves in a crisis situation. Juniper Village at Aurora supports the efforts of AHA as they continue to educate the community in the resources that are so readily available to all!!
