Our Alive in All Seasons’ theme for August is The
Environment. Our communities will focus their efforts on maintaining healthy
environments through environmentally conscious activities. Our “Green Canopy”
program emphasizes designing and operating buildings that meet new standards of
environmental sustainability. We are proud to be the first long-term care
company with a building in the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) program.
According to research by Go Green, Americans throw away 2.5
million plastic bottles every hour; 25 billion Styrofoam cups and 40 billion
soft drink bottles and cans each year. Eighty-four percent of the average
American’s household trash can be recycled. If we recycled just 1/10 of our
newspapers 25 million trees could be saved. Are we all doing our part?
Join us this month as we learn more about the environment,
expand our wide-scale recycling program, learn more about environmental
sustainability programs and work with our community Green Teams to promote our
“Green Canopy” initiative. We encourage you to accompany us on this
environmental journey so that we can all continue to Breathe in Life!
Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Rummage Sale as well as hot dogs, chips and sodas for lunch on August 8th and 9th from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm; our Concert in the Village the second of three summer music performances in our lovely courtyard on August 14th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm; or our La Dolce Vita Spaghetti Dinner and Auction where you can enjoy a delicious meal then bid on crafts or art made by our residents with proceeds benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association on August 21st from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm. Take a look at our calendar and join us for any and all activities that will help you make the most of these last few weeks of summer.
