There was plenty of snow in the days before and after St. Valentine’s Day. But staying inside was no hardship. Residents here always have many ways to socialize without leaving the building. This week along with our usual activities (aquabics, bistro, card games, dancercise, trivia, scopa) we had a Valentine Crafternoon for the little ones on Saturday, some great fun singing along to familiar songs on Tuesday evening and a suprise ice cream social on Friday evening at our regular Friday happy hour – when we extend the bistro hours to welcome the weekend (on the fountain deck in good weather and indoors when it’s cold outside). Everyone is invited to join any of these events and more. Check the digiboard and bulletin boards for hints about what’s on each day.

A special evening at Islington 2000/2010! The Social Committee planned a wonderfully festive party this year, with great food, sparkling decorations, dancing and even a sing-along. Wishing everyone the joy of the season, health and happiness in 2025!

The Social Committee gave us a wonderful evening last Friday. The event was very well attended and everyone had a good time.  The caterers served the crowd quickly and their food was so tasty. As usual the MC was Roy and he played all the old familiars for dancing. For those of us who simply sign up and appear on time, the organization and unseen effort of the Social Committee is amazing and much appreciated. Thank you to all the helpers.
