15 team members representing each property in Donna Rolnick’s portfolio gathered this morning to lead a Raven’s Victory Pep Rally at Lighthouse Senior Living at Hopkins Creek.  Over 30 Residents from Assisted Living and the Village gathered in the dining room to sing, dance, play trivia, win prizes and tell their favorite football stories.  The community is still a-buzz.  Scotty and her team were truly moved by the gesture and the result.  Everyone was GREAT and we are proud!  Thank you Yorkewood, Perkins Place, Boston Crossing, Rivers Gate, Rivers Crossing, Gray Haven, Fox Glen, and Rosedale Gardens! 

 Sadly, the Ravens’ season ended abruptly in the last minute of the game on January 22, 2012.  Be certain the Ravens and Lighthouse Senior Living will BE BACK this fall!

The holiday season brought laughter and cheer to our residents as they celebrated with family and friends.  On December 7, Hopkins Creek hosted our Annual Holiday Party and treated the residents and family members to a scrumptious meal, musical entertainment, and of course a visit from Santa!  This is a truly wonderful affair and our residents look forward to it all year.  With over 250 in attendance, the evening was a wonderful success! 

 The residents rang in the New Year with festivities that included a special dinner and dessert, music and dancing with Sal Serio, noisemakers, and a sparkling toast on New Year’s Eve!  Stay tuned for more event announcements over the course of 2012. Lighthouse Senior Living is the place to BE! 

On September 10, 2011, Hopkins Creek kicked off our Alzheimer’s Memory Walk season with a wonderful fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association!  We had barbeque, music, clowns, face painting,  Rita’s ice, a 50-50 raffle and silent auction, massages, and wonderful deserts for the cake walk!  Many of our residents, staff and resident’s families helped to raise over $800 even before the walk began.   Again, we would like to give a special thanks to all of our venders, residents, families and staff who helped make this day a fabulous success!  Let’s mark our calendars for September 2012 for this wonderful annual event!

All who joined us for the 2011 Alzheimer’s Memory Walk on October 29th had a little “Halloween Surprise” with rain, sleet, and snow in October!  We want to thank Team Lighthouse for braving the weather and helping us to raise an additional $1200 to help in the fight against Alzheimer’s Disease!

Lighthouse residents enjoyed an Oriole’s game on August 7, 2011.  Everyone was also very happy to welcome Author, Mark A. Millikin, who brought our residents back to the wonderful excitement and drama that was the first Baltimore Oriole World Series Championship in 1966.  Talking about his book The Glory of the 1966 Orioles and Baltimore, that was published in October, brought back to life that magic season for all of us.  Mr. Millikin was filled with stories of interviews from former players, sportswriters and many Baltimore fans even before the season started with the signing of Frank Robinson.  This one act was the turning point for the team.  Hopkins Creek would like to thank Mr. Millikin for bringing  that special year back to us!
