It’s hard to believe that it was just a year ago when we received our permit to begin construction on the Naperville Senior Center space. I remember being there on Christmas 2014 with Pam, Emily and Zach with our hardhats on looking at the drawings and realizing this was really going to happen!

Our best year yet has been jam packed since opening our doors on February 25, 2015!

• Our charter Member, Charlene, started with us the next week. She continues to brighten our days with every visit!

• We hosted our first of two ribbon cuttings on St. Patrick’s Day with the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce.

• Several Members have joined us throughout the year. We are grateful to have each and every one of them with us!

• We hosted a mini Walk for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society in June, and raised over $2,400 to fight cancer. We want to be sure our Members continue to exercise – and being able to do it for an important cause was a great motivator!

• We provided fun activities for our Members including planting a garden (and then enjoying the fruits and vegetables of their labor), dressing up on Talk Like a Pirate Day, and having children come by before Halloween to get treats and play games with our Members.

• We have hosted several Continuing Education (CEU) Workshops after hours for nurses, therapists and social workers. We are happy to provide this amazing venue for the community when they need to come together to gather and learn.

• We hosted our 1^st Annual Fall Craft and Vendor Fair in November. Thank you to all 23 vendors who joined us for a wonderful event. Our Members were even involved in making most of our crafts that were sold that day.

• We hosted a Business After Hours event with co-sponsor Oasis Senior Advisors, for the Naperville Chamber of Commerce in December. We had a fantastic turnout; thank you to all the Chamber and community members who joined us to celebrate the holidays and check our facility.

With all this happening in the last 12 months, we can’t wait to see what 2016 brings! Our hope is that everyone has a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! We want to thank everyone for making 2015 our best year yet. 

If you haven’t had a chance to join us at one of these events, just contact us to schedule a quick tour or a FREE 3-hour trial at our facility so you can see what we have to offer and understand the Naperville Senior Center experience, “Home Away From Home”.
