Stand in Integrity: July Events


July is the month in which we celebrate our nation’s independence with fireworks, cook outs and by cherishing our own personal freedoms. Nelson Mandela reminds us “to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” In that spirit join us as we honor those who “Stand in Integrity.”

Dr. Barbara Killinger, PhD, offers this definition of integrity: “Integrity is a personal choice, an uncompromising and predictably consistent commitment to honor moral, ethical, spiritual and artistic values and principles.” To “Stand in Integrity” does not mean that you are flawless or perfect, it means that you admit your shortcomings; you have influence, not because people like you, but because people trust you, believe you, and follow you.

We will also celebrate this month’s Alive in All Seasons theme of Volunteerism by volunteering our time to others, honoring those who volunteer with us, including our Resident Ambassadors; and learning more about volunteer opportunities in the greater community.

Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Volunteer and Family Celebration Cookout where we invite all of you who have volunteered with us to enjoy a tasty meal with a hearty side of gratitude on July 1st at 5:00 pm; our Patriotic Songfest featuring Sandy Heisey saluting America’s great and honorable history on July 4th at 3:00 pm; our Benefits of Volunteerism educational session lead by Jenee Fetterhoff from Grane Hospice who will share how anyone can be a volunteer regardless of limitations on July 16th at 3:00 pm; our Healthcare Worker and First Responder Appreciation After Hours un-WINE event in the Club for nurses, firemen, EMTs, paramedics, care aides, social workers, and physicians ro enjoy a glass of wine or a frosty mug of beer on July 24th at 4:30 pm; or our Live Music-Golden Oldies presentation hopping to the sounds of those great toe tapping songs with Marino Gaspari on July 29th at 3:00 pm. Take a look at our calendar and join us for any and all activities that will help you make the most of these last few weeks of summer.
