What Are You Doing Saturday Night?

Every Saturday night, The Spearly Center hosts Pizza Party & Saturday Night Cinema.  Pizzas are created in the kitchen, but instead of offering it to the residents from a hot cart, it is literally delivered by staff to all neighborhoods in pizza boxes.  This creates a nice, homelike touch.  After the Pizza Party, each neighborhood picks out a movie to watch for the evening.  The Connections department has over 200 movies to choose from.  This weekly event has fast become one of Spearly residents’ favorite activities. So, what are you doing Saturday night?

July 2016 Events in Denver, CO: Stand in Integrity

Ah...the good old summer time filled with lazy, sunny days, ice cold treats, Independence Day celebrations, and get-togethers at the beach. Another sure indication of summer is our Alive in All Seasons theme of Volunteerism.

July is the perfect month to honor all of the many volunteers who contribute thousands of hours of time in service to our communities. From our four-legged volunteers to those of the two legged variety we are proud to say we receive more than 10,000 hours of precious time each year. We simply could not do it without all of your help, and this month we honor you. We will also be promoting the spirit of volunteerism by volunteering our time to help others. If you have some spare time on your hands consider joining us for a volunteer activity or better yet volunteer your time with us, we’d love to have you. What qualities make a good volunteer? Energy, passion, flexibility, creativity, reliability, commitment and perhaps most important of all – integrity.

Volunteerism benefits all parties involved. In addition to making new friends, volunteering also helps increase your self-confidence, provides a sense of purpose, combats depression and helps you stay physically healthy. Helping others also kindles happiness, as the London School of Economics found the more people volunteered, the happier they were.

In addition to volunteering opportunities, plan to join us during July for our summer celebrations and share our thanks as we honor those who Stand In Integrity with us.

Our fabulous July 2016 events in Denver, CO at Juniper Village at The Spearly Center include our:

§  Stand In Integrity July 4th BBQ because our Juniper family believes that staying connected to the community is beneficial to all, we would like to extend a sincere invitation to our Partners in Health Care, First Responders and family members to this holiday BBQ as Dave Hidalgo will be performing festive American classics and grilled favorites of the summer will be served on our Outdoor Patio on July 4^th at 11:00 am.

§  Community Appreciation Cookout as we invite Spearly volunteers, local business, Partners In Caring, First Responders, family and friends to say thank you for ensuring our residents receive the best care available and thank you for setting aside time to spend with our residents and thank you for improving their quality of life; the Spearly family appreciates you on July 22^nd at 11:00 am.
