In June we welcomed the arrival of summer, and added several new programs and music events to our slate of activities.
The highlight of our enter
tainment calendar was the long-awaited appearance by “WaveLength,” a barbershop quartet. The special after-dinner performance attracted a capacity crowd for the group’s unique brand of acappella harmony and playful camaraderie.
Another popular event was a special Sunday Hymns Sing-along, led by Donna’s talented daughter, Jana Ahnquist.
“We had a fun, joyous morning,” Jana said. The performance – presented on Father’s Day — was so popular that Jana has agreed to resume it in September.
A new feature of our activities calendar is “Your Choice Friday,” when residents can choose between two separate group activities.
Kate will lead one group, perhaps in adult coloring or a craft project. Mo’s group, meanwhile, might enjoy games like gin rummy and Scrabble.
We are also pleased to announce that Decatur House now has a membership to the nearby Heritage Museums & Gardens.
We will schedule visits to the 100-acre estate, which boasts beautiful gardens and nature trails, plus three museums.
The museums house an array of special collections, including an antique automobiles exhibit, a vintage carousel and American folk art.
