San Carlos Elms Activities for June 2014

Memorial Day at San Carlos Elms

During Memorial Day at San Carlos Elms we had our flags flying high.

We also handed out poppy's that are hand made by veterans being rehabilitated.

 The symbolism of the poppy is down below if you would like to know more.

 Each of our residents showed their respect yesterday by wearing a poppy made by our veterans and thanking them for their act of bravery.

 

 This is a handcrafted woodwork by Jerry Nunes. All the Residents thought is was beautiful.

Today is Bud's 100th Birthday!!!

We had a smashing party to celebrate Bud's  100th Birthday.

Residents from The Memory Program and from our Assisted Living Community came to welcome Bud into the Centenarian Club.

 Bud's son Buddy and daughter-in-law Ingrid were there to celebrate this momentous occasion.

Bud's son Buddy helped his Papa blow out the candles on the cake.

However, Papa only needed a little help cutting the first piece.

The staff was also happy to join in on the festivities.

San Carlos Elms Enjoys at The Walt Disney Museum

What an incredible day we had in San Francisco's Presidio! The weather couldn't have been nicer and The Walt Disney Museum was a treasure to explore.

 

We had a terrific tour guide Jeffery who told us everything we need to know about Walt Disney.

After our tour Don Thanked Jeffery for "One Heck of a tour". Jeffery was great to accommodate our needs which during this tour was a bench from time to time, and there was plenty.

We brought our own food from The Elms and ate lunch at the museum. 

 

For our finale, we saw "Sleeping Beauty" in the Disney theater at the museum.

It was a long, but wonderful day.

Thank you to ALL the staff at the museum for making just right.
