Effective July 3rd Walmart grocery shopping trip on Mondays will be changed to 1:15 PM Depart. The number and seeing how exercise further Price: $48.00 + Tax
of residents for this trip has been decreasing and the drivers have been told it is because of the time of depart brings the community closer together.
therefore we are going to try to offer same day trip just a later time. Tuesday shopping to Wegman’s will remain the
same, depart at 1:15 pm. Just a reminder that early birds grocery trip will also remain the same (Depart at 8 am, the
bus will remain there until 9:15 am to return back to the village. ) If you have completed your shopping early, you
can wait on the bus for others who may take longer. It has come to my attention that there is some pressure to have
residents complete their shopping earlier than allotted time. Please be respectful and allow others to shop at their
pace as there will be 1 hour and 15 minutes for this trip. Thank you for your understanding.
Please make sure your apartment/cottage is at a cool temp for housekeeping during the summer months.

HOPE CODER ENTERTAINS THE RESIDENTS WITH A BEAUTIFUL PIANO RECITAL RESIDENTS TAKE A TRIP TO HORSESHOE CURVE & RAILROADERS MUSEUM

MILLBROOK MARSH NATURE CENTER

A group of residents enjoyed a beautiful late morning out at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center, where they
were given a descriptive tour of the pollenating garden and around the Marsh. They walked a portion of the
boardwalk that trails all around the wetlands, as the Naturalist discussed the plants, habitat, and history of the
unique ecosystem.
