Christmas Carols, holiday dinner, and a New Years Eve party celebrated by all.
The Silver Songbirds choir began the month of holiday splendor with their 2nd annual Christmas Concert on December 8th in the Community Center at Western Reserve Masonic Community (WRMC). The choir of approximately 30 resident vocalists sang five Christmas carols to a packed house. Their closing hymn, O Holy Night, was the favorite of the choir as well as the guests.
The concert, conducted by music therapist Liz Stamm, was well attended by friends and family alike. Liz shared, “Those in attendance were surrounded by feelings of warmth and holiday cheer, embodied by the joy that was found in the voices and on the faces of the residents.”
The Christmas dinner, held on December 20th was a feast. Surf and turf was the perfect holiday dinner along with specialty wine spritzers and mistletoe mules. Two dinner servings were provided to accommodate all the residents ready to celebrate this special evening. Many of the residents enjoyed dressing
in Christmas attire while a harpist provided entertainment throughout
the evening.
The last few days of December were spent with family, as well as enjoying the company of neighbors. The last celebration of 2024 was a New Years Eve party in the Community Center at WRMC. Each resident received an individual charcuterie with snacks and champagne punch. The Escape provided entertainment for the celebration, and enjoyed getting residents involved in their performance.
WRMC residents rang in the New Year with London, England. Midnight in London was 7 pm in Medina. Auld Lang Syne was sung to welcome in the New Year. As residents returned to their apartments and villas, all were excited to begin 2025 living at Western Reserve
Masonic Community.
