At Arlington Place….

We eat ice cream…. Have you noticed ice cream happens a lot at Arlington? Every Friday, in the summer,

we like to get together and socialize around a bowl of ice cream! Join us

anytime!

We celebrate each other! Arlington Place hosted our

annual Mother’s and Others Tea Party

for Mother’s Day

and had a Mustache

themed Father’s Day Grill out.

Our doors are always open! If you are interested in learning more about life at Arlington Place, stop in or contact me for a tour.

Arlington Place has an opening in our respite apartment. Are you looking for a place for your loved one for a short period of time? Our respite program is ideal for caregivers who are out of town, a spouse in the hospital, or someone who needs

additional recuperation after a hospital stay. Briget Meyer·Community Relations Coordinator

What do you need to

know about our July calen-

dar? New to the calendar

are our social chats in

honor of our resident,

Clarence Henze. Clarence

said his favorite time of the

day is getting together with

others and just talking, so we are going to

make a point to converse! Do you have

something you want to see happening at

Arlington Place? Let me know, I will make it

happen.

We have had two matinee movies and they

have been a hit so we are going to move our

Arlington Place movie nights to movie days. If

you find you are missing those Friday

evening movies, speak up and we will put on

a show. We will be joining in the Felix Grundy

festivities this year. We will be going to the

spelling bee, if you want to participate, we will

practice throughout the week. Briget Meyer is

creating and coordinating a wonderful oppor-

tunity for us to participate in the parade. You

can join her or you can join me on the side-

lines and wave as they go by.

Where will be going in July? In honor of the

fast food chain’s birthday, We are going to

Wendy’s followed by a trip to Dollar Tree on

July 2nd. We are going to learn about Aman-

da Grineski’s Globetrotting adventures at

Kling Memorial Library. We love to take the

bus out, so keep checking your calendars!

As always, I make the calendar for all of

our residents, so let me know what you want

to do!

We have had a lot of

fun cooking adventures

as of late and we have

no intentions of putting

our adventurous pallets

on the back burner for

July! We will be explor-

ing the differences of a slushy and a

smoothie. This will, of course, include a

taste testing to be sure we understand!

We will be celebrating malt day with

some old fashioned malts while we test

our wits with Lenah and play a game of

name that tune! We are going to throw

in a hot dog bar to celebrate chili dog

day. Have you heard of a Chicago dog?

What toppings can go on a hotdog? If

you can think of it, we will have it! Lastly,

in honor of Hawaiian Day, we will throw

in a Hawaiian luau.

The gardens are looking better with

the sun and rain we have been get-

ting. We are closer to getting replace-

ments for the flowers we lost and the

tree in the north section. I am in the

process of making a planter in the

concrete square where the electrical

box use to be.

Precision Lawncare just sprayed for dandilions and

clovers again. We have a couple of exciting projects

coming up in our gardens so stayed tuned! As always

if you have any questions or concerns let me know. -
