The Vero at Newark

We had double the fun at a surprise birthday party this past week! Beloved community member Sandra Patton turned 84 and the occasion was made even more special because she shared the spotlight with her granddaughter, Missy Shea. As a dedicated member of our Connections Team, Missy usually spends her time coordinating the fun for everyone else, so it was wonderful to see her on the receiving side of the surprises.

The day became even more special with a surprise visit from out-of-town family members who traveled in to join the celebration. Witnessing these two celebrate their birthdays together was a truly heartwarming moment for everyone in attendance.

Casey from our Connections Team recently hosted a Dolly Parton-themed BINGO night that was a total hit! In honor of Dolly’s 80th birthday, the room was filled with laughter and plenty of "reminiscing" about her legendary hits. One highlight of BINGO was seeing our newest community member, Dr. Renee G. O'Leary, share a special photo of her and her late husband meeting Dolly 22 years ago!

Our "Fat Tuesday" festivities were in full swing as everyone gathered to celebrate Mardi Gras! Our Connections team pulled out all the stops keeping us entertained and dancing. In addition, a standout performance by The Craig Satchell Experience had the entire room buzzing. It was a great reminder of how much joy a little live music and good company can bring to the community.
