Our Christmas has already begun with a fantastic lunch surrounded by our community! A heartfelt thank you to Rudy Fanetti-Durán of C’era Una Volta Kitchen & Catering for the incredible food, Steve Albini for the beautiful accordion music, and our wonderful volunteers, guests, and staff who made this celebration truly special. A special thank you to Girardelli for the generous chocolate donations that sweetened our holiday. Merry Christmas to all!

During our 108th anniversary celebration, Italy Trails generously donated a one-of-a-kind travel experience to "Discover Your Italian Roots." This exclusive itinerary featured unforgettable tours in Rome and Naples, including a visit to the historic departure point for emigrant ships. The highlight? A personalized journey to your family's town of origin, complete with genealogical research and the chance to meet long-lost relatives.

In October, we received a special visit from 4th graders from La Scuola International School! (www.lascuolasf.org)

We were delighted to welcome the bright young students from La Scuola for a memorable luncheon with our community. These Italian-speaking children filled our space with curiosity, warmth, and excitement, sharing their stories and asking thoughtful questions of our seniors. Their visit was a joyful reminder of the importance of connection across generations, and it brought smiles all around.

Moments like these bring us closer and fill us with gratitude for the wonderful spirit of our community.

Understanding Health and Longevity

As women get older, they are at a higher risk of developing health problems such as cardiovascular disease, breast cancer or dementia. Many health issues may be caused by simple wear and tear on our bodies. Others may be caused by the choices we make. Knowledge about the changes that affect women’s bodies and mind through the life cycle is critical to enhance and extend both health and longevity.
