Silent Auction & Raffle

The Fountainview Center will be having its third annual Silent Auction and Raffle to raise funds for the Walk to End Alzheimer's. The auction will begin Friday, September 16th and end on Friday, October 7th. To achieve our fundraising goals, we are asking staff, families, & community members to help us collect or donate items that may be auctioned for this worthy cause.  Some donation suggestions would be a weekend at your vacation home, professional services, gift certificates, etc.  Also monetary donations are welcomed. Checks would be made out to the Alzheimer's Association.  If you have an item or donation, please contact Heather Bogle, Admissions & Community Relations Director, heather@fountainview.net.

Namaste Updates

 

Starting in July, the West Pavilion had their first "Tea Party."  Each lady wore her special hat to celebrate this occasion.  This monthly event is now called "The Namaste Hat Society."  While the ladies are enjoying their time,  the gentlemen are relaxing at the "Men's Book Club." Any books on tape and or DVD that you would like to donate for this event would be appreciated.
