July has arrived in Golden, Colorado, and our campus is bursting with red-white-and-blue spirit, fresh-off-the-grill goodness, and feel-good community moments you won’t want to miss.
🎆 Star-Spangled Cookout – Friday, July 4 | 11 AM–1 PM
Nothing says summer like burgers, hot dogs, and lawn games! Grab your shades, don your favorite patriotic gear, and meet us on the back patio for an old-fashioned Independence Day celebration. Family and friends are welcome—RSVPs help us keep the grill stocked!
🛠️ Walker Wash – Wednesday, July 16 | Noon–1 PM
A shiny walker is a happy walker. Our team will be on the patio with buckets, soap, and elbow grease to give your trusty wheels a mid-summer sparkle while you enjoy lemonade and music.
🍽️ Monday Lunch Adventures – Every Monday
From classic diners to trendy cafés, we hit a different Golden-area restaurant each week. Sign-up sheets live at the front desk and fill up fast—reserve your seat early and bring your appetite for great food and even better conversation.
👗 Boutique Shopping at Home – Thursday, July 17
Why battle traffic when fashion can come to you? Chez Vous Boutique rolls its portable racks into our community for a one-day pop-up featuring stylish, comfortable clothing curated for seniors. Try on, mix-and-match, and purchase right on the spot.
💜 Silent Auction Benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association – All Month
