Spooky, scary, and tons of fun! Halloween 2025 was a blast here at Aviva. Members of the Aviva team were invited to participate in a pumpkin decorating contest, showing off their creativity and celebrating the season.

On Halloween, the incredible pumpkins were displayed in the Rotunda where residents were asked to vote on which pumpkin was the most creative.

Congratulations to this year's pumpkin winners: 1st Place - Jackie Innocenti; 2nd Place - Nepheny Breton; 3rd Place - Patricia LaRocca.

We hope everyone had a frighteningly wonderful Halloween!

Each month, talented musicians bring beautiful performances to the Kretzmer Center, delighting our residents and guests alike. These concerts are open to the public and always well attended—join us in celebrating music, community, and the spirit of Ernie, thanks to continued support from Peter and Melody Kretzmer.

Halloween has officially arrived at Aviva! Our residents and staff were thrilled to welcome the Sarasota Music Teachers Association and their incredible students. With our youngest maestro at just 5 years old, these future stars lit up our halls with their passion and love for music.

And of course, no Halloween party is complete without some well-deserved candy.

Aviva is not only a tropical oasis for our residents but also a sanctuary for all types of musicians! Our halls seem to always resonate with the sounds of incredible musicians and their passion.

We were thrilled to welcome Toyoko Koyama, a native of Okayama, Japan. Toyoko is an accomplished musician and has become world-renowned for her skill on the koto, one of the world's oldest stringed instruments. Sharing both her fabulous music and her beautiful culture, Aviva residents and staff were given the opportunity to hear Toyoko play in this exceptional performance!

It isn't every day that you turn 100, but at Aviva, we are lucky enough to have a special club. We are so thrilled to welcome Harriett Krass to our Centenarians' Club!

Earlier this week, Harriett's family and her friends at Aviva joined together for a toast to Harriett's BIG birthday. As a Michigan native, Harriett decided that the perfect way to celebrate her birthday was with "Cider and Donuts!" What a delicious treat and such a fun afternoon celebrating our newest Centenarian!

Happy birthday, Harriett! We can't wait to celebrate 101!
