The end of the year is here! And what a year it has been. But before we say goodbye to 2022 and hello to 2023, we still have a lot in store for our community. And let’s not forget all the fun we had in November!
We can’t even talk about November without mentioning Thanksgiving. We are all so thankful for everyone here at Arbor Springs. And we had such an amazing Thanksgiving meal together to toast and celebrate everything that makes our community special. To get even more into the season, we’ve already begun to decorate our Christmas trees. We love decorating and especially love when our Life Enrichment team takes the time to turn that decorating into an engaging, fun, and beneficial activity.
But we didn’t only put up ornaments this year. Our outstanding community members put in some fantastic work on their first Community Development Project! They’ve been hard at work making Christmas ornaments, currently for sale for $1 each, in the front lobby. Let Jennifer know which one(s) you’d like to buy. This project is run by a committee of residents who will decide how best to donate, save, and develop other projects in the future. So exciting!
