Community Connections and Summer
June 4th, 2009
Tonight is our Memory Gardens class with Chaves Gardens, and it draws to an end the calendar of events for Community Connections. While Chaves has several classes like this through the spring and summer, our class is specifically for those who have particpated in one of our grief support groups, such as the 6 week program Building Bridges. The Mem0ry Gardens seminar will guide a group of people who have lost a loved one through the process of creating a special tribute. The flowers and plants that are created and arranged in the class are intended to be therapeutic in the gardening process itself, but also to create a living memorial for the loved one who has died.
Just a few weeks ago the funeral home also extended a special invitation to many of the families we have helped through our funeral home and our support groups over the last few years. Jane Pickens was host to Michael Dutra, a singer and performer who provided an evening of Frank Sinatra classics. More than 40 people accepted our complimentary ticket to “Simply Sinatra” and enjoyed a great evening of memories, camaraderie, and fun. We hope to find more events like this to give people a good reason to get out again, meet some new friends, and enjoy the memories of their loved ones.
Keep an eye out through the summer for our emails, click here to sign up if you haven’t already, and we look forward to seeing many of you at next years events.
