Residents Art Gallery at Willamalane

We have so many talented residents here many who either draw, paint, watercolor or some other type of art work. They had a chance to have all their art displayed in Willamalane Art gallery. We had a fun on opening night with seeing the artwork displayed nicely on the wall and the wine and special finger foods they put out for everyone. The residents were very proud and so thrilled that their art made into the public eye.

Halloween sun catchers

Sun catchers are a very fun and simple project to do. For the season we did Halloween, you could choose from a ghost, bat flying into the night moon or a good ole' fashion pumpkin. It was a lot of fun and residents had fun doing them. They realized how thinner the paint is for sun catchers and so we had a learning experience as well.

 

 

October is Cancer Awareness Month

October is Cancer Awareness Month. At Garden way we did a raffle for a specially made quilt by a cancer survivor. The best part is her daughter, Chelsea works with us as a server and both has been apart of the Garden Way family since we have opened.

 

Her mother and her joined a yearly race here in Eugene  called "A Race To Find A Cure," they had their own team this year. Garden Way staff and residents jumped in to help raise money. All together we helped raise $300 dollars which will all go to the cancer foundation for medical expense, medication, surgeries and anything that cancer patients may need help covering in expenses.

 

The lucky winner of the quilt was Lois, who is a breast cancer survivor. The quilt was very beautifully done and Lois was very ecstatic to have won it.

Harvest Moon Dance

Had a great beginning fall dance. Big Foot Lane came to give the residents a hooting good time. They all danced the evening away while replenishing themselves with the delicious snacks from the amazing kitchen staff we have.

 

 

 Treats to help keep the energy alive for the dancing.
