The 2017 Walk to End Alzheimer’s was a big success and it was great to gather our Oak Park and Villas of Oak Park team for such a great cause, we all had a blast!
Your participation helped the Southview Senior Communities team raise $23,940 which well exceeded our goal of $10,000!!
On Tuesday afternoon the tenants from Oak Park Senior Living and Villas of Oak Park embarked on an adventure aboard the Stillwater Boat and Packet Paddleboat Cruise. We were blessed with perfect weather as we enjoyed a yummy buffet and beautiful scenery along the St. Croix River. As an added bonus to our day, the bus driver got lost and we ended up crossing over the new Stillwater Bridge, which for many on the trip was the first time over it since it opened early this month.
Several tenants enjoyed a pontoon ride recently on the St. Croix River. The afternoon was HOT, but the weather was perfect on the water. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the river and some of the houses along the way. We also got an up close look at the new Stillwater bridge that’s set to open at the beginning of August.
Oak Park Senior Living and The Villas of Oak Park attended the Minnesota Twins vs. the Houston Astros on Wednesday, May 31st. The weather was perfect and the 18 people that attended the game enjoyed free ice cream and $1.00 hot dogs! We also got to see LOTS of home runs, unfortunately, most of them were by the other team. The final score was 17-6 but everyone agreed it was a great day at Target Field.
Here’s what The Villas of Oak Park residents have been up to this October! The pictures of the band are the St. Croix Prep School Jazz band. The band came on the evening of October 18th to perform for our tenants. The picture of the dancers took place when Monroe Wright III brought his “Memories of the Mills Brothers” show to Oak Park. The tenants sang and danced along with Monroe and his great music.
The other two pictures were taken when we went to Treasure Island casino and went on the lunch cruise on the “Spirit of the Water” boat. We enjoyed great food as we cruised down the Mississippi to Red Wing. The weather was perfect and the fall colors were amazing!
Last week, tenants from the Villas of Oak Park took a historical tour of Stillwater on the Stillwater Trolley!
Last Thursday, some of our tenants enjoyed a pontoon ride on the St. Croix river, courtesy of the Let’s Go Fishing Organization. The trip included going under the Stillwater Bridge, which is still being constructed.
What a beautiful day for a ride. Thank you, LGF!
Our residents at Villas of Oak Park Senior Living recently enjoyed an excursion to the Minnesota Zoo! Following breakfast, we took an early-morning bus trip down to Apple Valley. Once inside the zoo, we snacked on complimentary coffee and treats. It was Senior Day at the zoo, and the place was packed.
Some of us hit the gift shop–it wasn’t easy walking away from the adorable plush animals! After our coffee, we joined a huge crowd inside the IMAX theatre, where we watched “Wild Africa” in 3D. The 3D glasses were a riot! After many laughs and a wild movie adventure, we headed back home just in time for lunch.
