The Park Place Senioritas team participated in the Relay for Life held June 13, 2008 at the Nepean Sportsplex.  Led by our fearless captain, Tricia Howard, who is the Hospitality Manager, we raised over $6,000 this year bettering last year's fundraising by $2,000!

All departments were represented on the team and maintained their good spirits throughout the night despite thunder, lightening and rain.

This Month, Carnival!

What better conjures up the summertime than a Carnival in your neighbourhood?  You will not have to go far to find one as our June Theme Day on June 18th will be just that.

Enjoy musical entertainment by the Manotick Brass Band.  There will be a clown to make fanciful creations out of balloons and walk on stilts.  What is a Carnival without games of skill?  We will have those too and winning will give you an opportunity to win a prize.  Pop corn and candy floss?  Got them.

Dinner will be an informal bar-b-que buffet featuring hamburgers and hotdogs plus all the trimmings.

Tours and information will be available between 4 and 5 pm.  Entertainment starts at 4:45 with the bar-b-que to follow.

This should be a good day to let down your hair and have some fun!  Please join us.

 

Check out the many activities planned for the upcoming month on the attached calendar. It has been redesigned to improve the visibility of activities at both buildings. Feel free to attend activities in either building. We would love to see you!

Theme Days

Medieval Magic April 2008

The dining room in our retirement residence was transformed to a medieval theme for this event.  We even had our own knight in shining armor!  Featured entertainment was a harp and recorder duo whose sweet sounds provided a gentle background for the evening.  Lots of great food was available for residents and guests.

Mardi Gras Soiree February 2008

The Gray Jazz Band brought the sounds and jazz of New Orleans to Park Place for our Mardi Gras Soiree.  We were all decked out in the traditional Mardi Gras colours of green, purple and gold and as you can see from the picture, the residents really got into the spirit.


Spooky Halloween Party

The ghosts and ghouls were out and about at our Halloween Party and Open House.  Residents and staff got into the swing of things with pumpkin carving, an interdepartmental decoration contest and lots of interesting costumes.  All the Managers dressed as pirates this year.  Take a look.

50's Theme Day June 2007

This was an exceptionally succesful theme day!  Shawn Berry, a well-known local Elvis impesonator, had the place rocking!  We were up and on our feet dancing and carrying on.  Staff was decked out in 50's style clothing for the day, including poodle skirts and peddle pushers.  Root beer floats, milkshakes and barbecued burgers and dogs were the order of the day.  Check our our pictures.
 
Each month, Park Place Residents and guests enjoy a special theme day, which features special menus for the day as well as afternoon entertainment and an Open House for those interested in touring our residence.
