December 16th was National Chocolate Covered Everything Day. To celebrate the occasion, our SASH Coordinator invited the Independent Living residents to a chocolate dipping party where they dared to try some unusual treats. There were more than a few brave, adventurous souls who were willing to experiment with dark chocolate covered sweet gherkin pickles, sharp cheddar cheese, bacon and even cauliflower (it was a shock how good that one was!). All of them were surprisingly tasty and proof that chocolate really does go well with just about everything!

Check out these fantastic trees created for Townshend’s Festival of Trees by Amy Koski, our SASH Coordinator, and Carrie Potter-Earle, our Activities & Volunteer Coordinator! Their creativity truly shines.

When asked if kids should be allowed to play in Amy’s whimsical fort-themed tree, she replied, “Of course!” So her tree will be set up near the craft table for little ones to enjoy.

The Festival of Trees will be open this Sunday, December 7th from 11 AM–3 PM upstairs in Town Hall, as part of Townshend’s Holiday Festival. Come join the fun!

This , we’re coming together as a community - because at Valley Village, caring for one another is at the heart of everything we do.
​
​
Our residents rely on us, and we rely on you. With your support, we can upgrade to a new Code Alert Quick Response system - the vital call pendant tool that ensures every resident feels safe, supported, and never alone. It is the lifeline that means when someone is scared, hurting, or simply needs help, we can be there - right away.
​
The system costs $44,700, and every gift helps us get closer to giving our residents the security they deserve.
​
Your generosity today will make a lasting difference. Thank you for caring.
