On the horizon · signature celebrations

Two evenings a year, the whole community shows up.

Once the weekly rhythm is humming, we add our two annual celebrations — honoring the elders at the heart of everything we do and welcoming the neighbors, families, and local businesses making it all possible.

Fall

Golden Harvest Gala & Silent Auction

An elegant evening celebrating our elders with dinner, live music, a silent auction, raffles, and time spent together as a community.

Winter

Home for the Holidays Senior Celebration

Holiday entertainment, a gift drive, community dinner, and a tree-lighting — a warm send-off to the year and a welcome to the next season of programming.

RSVP for an upcoming date

One-click booking opens here this week. For now, hold your seat through the waiting list and we'll confirm by phone or email.
