Cherish the Journey: November Events

Life is a journey filled with lessons, celebrations and special moments that ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth and we may encounter many challenges. Some of these will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that must be overcome. But, sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, although we may not realize it at the time. How we react to the situations we face will determine what the rest of our journey will be like.

This month Juniper Communities will honor our Families and cherish the journey we have taken together. November is all about celebrating the bonds we share and recognizing where we’ve been and where we’re going. We will do this through autobiographical journaling, reminiscing about family celebrations and breaking bread together in Thanksgiving. In order to support our families along this journey we will continue to develop our support groups and provide additional resources when needed. We will give back through our Annual Food Drive. From November 1 through November 30 all non-perishable food items collected will be donated to a local food bank.

Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Annual Food Drive where you can drop off non-perishable food items for the State College Area Food Bank anytime all month long; our Creative Crafting: Family Trees workshop where we will be making art out of memories on November 4^th at 3:30 pm; our Election Shuttle to Voting Polls allowing our residents to exercise their most fundamental right on November 4^th at 3:30 pm; our Senior Crime Prevention Workshop with Senator Jake Corman discussing such topics as identity theft and credit fraud phishing scams on November 13^th at 6:00 pm; or our Family Fest Harvest Meal for residents and family or friends featuring all the traditional fixings in a warm atmosphere on November 23^rd at 12:30 pm.

Look through our calendar and plan to join us for family celebrations, Thanksgiving dinners and many events and activities allowing us all to reflect and Cherish the Journey!
