Get By With A Little Help From Your Friends

“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently, allows you to grow.”

~ William Shakespeare

During the month of September, Juniper Village spread our joy by celebrating friendship.  On September 22^nd, the first day of autumn, The Spearly Center hosted Fiesta Amistad, which in Spanish translates to “Friendship Party”.  Just The 2 Of Us performed live music in our Country Store while residents and staff enjoyed cupcakes, cookies, hot chocolate, cappuccino and assorted juices.  Everyone had a great time dancing, singing and mingling with friends.  Friendship is important to us all… Spread the Joy!

October 2016 Events in Denver, CO: Show Your Colors

As we say good bye to Indian summer, we welcome the cooler air and slower pace of the autumn season. From warm apple cider, everything pumpkin and end of season hiking trips, there are so many reasons to enjoy autumn. William Cullen Bryant says it best, “Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.” With the seasonal changes now in full swing we see fall flowers appearing where summer blooms once stood and leaves changing into vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red. The evening air has a slight chill and carries the scent of campfires, leaves and cinnamon spice. Our activities turn from swimming and baseball to raking leaves and football. Not only is Mother Nature showing her colors, but we begin to show our team colors with a focus on sports! Join us throughout the month as we bond over sporting events while cheering on our favorite teams, complete with tailgate parties and snacks.

Throughout October we will show our colors as we sponsor and support local sports teams. We will honor our associates who show their colors by “nurturing the spirit of life” with The Juniper Spirit awards. Alas, October would not be complete without celebrating the season with our annual Halloween Costume Party, which is open to ghosts and goblins of all ages. Join us this month and Show Your Colors!
