Summer is a special time at Western Reserve Masonic Community. Whether it’s the outdoor summer concert series and cookouts, trips to see performances at Blossom Music Center, or just enjoying their patios and balconies, residents know how to enjoy fun in the sun.
June brought two extra special events to campus for residents. The first was a patriotic concert featuring the Silver Songbirds choir. The choir is part of the Connecting Realities programming found in the Pathways Memory Support Neighborhood. Led by Liz, music therapist for The Ohio Masonic Communities, the choir is an opportunity to engage residents with dementia in music. The choir also includes volunteers who live in other areas
of the campus. In June, the families of choir members were invited to the campus for a
patriotic-themed event complete with a performance by the choir.
The following weekend was time for the annual Community Fest. This has become a favorite event for residents and staff, and their families, as well as the community. Even with a last-minute date change due to weather, this year did not disappoint. Everyone who attended enjoyed the festivities including food trucks, balloon creations, Touch a Truck with vintage police vehicles, and getting to watch a Cleveland Clinic Critical Care Transport helicopter landing. Kids and residents alike were thrilled to climb aboard some of the Touch a Truck vehicles, especially the helicopter. Of course, the fireworks were the cherry on top.
