April Events

Once again, Park Regency Assisted Living in Loveland invites all Northern Colorado seniors to come and participate in any and all of our activities. Here are some of the events and activities coming up in April.
Passover Seder
Wednesday, April 11th, 2012
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Once again, our administrator, Jerry Bootzin, will lead our annual Passover Seder in celebration of the Jewish people being freed from Egypt. This dinner is celebrated by Jews and Christians as well throughout the world. In fact, Jesus' "last supper" was a Passover Seder. During this email and short service, the participants will partake in wine, matzo, boiled eggs, horseradish, charosis (a mixture of dates and nuts), baked chicken, matzo ball chicken soup, vegetable greens, gefilta fish, and macaroons. The story of the Passover is retold during this dinner and service. All residents and family members are invited to attend at no charge but reservations are required as space is limited. Please make your reservations with our receptionist by visiting the front desk or calling: (970) 461-1100.

Low-Vision Support Group Begins

Thursday, April 12, 2012
1:30 PM
Continuation: The second Thursday of every month.

Starting Thursday, April 12, Disabled Resource Services is proud to host a Vision After 55 Low-Vision Support Group. This is a great program for people who have some kind of low- or no-vision problems. They will help supply items you might need, discuss any issues you might have, or, if you just need to talk out your frustrations, they will be available. This is going to be great because people always have questions about how to live with the sight they have. This will be held every month on the second Thursday from April 12th on. Penn Street and Sharon Bottoms will host, and we encourage everyone to come and join this special group. It is a benefit if you have good sight or not. It is going to be a great tool that we are glad to have provided for you here at Park Regency.

Cliff Spratt Performs
Friday, April 13, 2012
2:00-3:00 PM

Cliff Sprat performed for our Luau last summer and has been a friend of our activity director, Sue, for over 10 years. He is a wonderful one-man band and we are proud to have Cliff back to perform once again. He has written and performed songs for 9News. He is always a pleasure to have perform and does a wonderful job when he performs. Family and friends are welcome to attend this wonderful event.

Saturday, April 21, 2012
2:00-3:00 PM

Come and join us on Saturday, April 21, for the return of the High Country Dancers. They are always a pleasure to watch. Everyone enjoys their performances whenever they come.
