Happenings at the Heart
Dear Families & Friends
Welcome to another email update highlighting the happenings at Light of Hearts Villa (LOHV). Remember to visit our Facebook page for more updates and to see photos.
Sixty-Five Years and Still Glowing
 July 16th marked the 65th Wedding Anniversary celebration of Joe and Doris; a happily married couple that resides here at LOHV. Joe played his wife his favorite polka, while displaying their wedding photos for everyone to see. A special proclamation from Bedford Mayor Stan Koci was presented to Joe and Doris by council woman Marilyn Zolata. Cherished friends gathered to congratulate them as they shared memories that filled the Villa with joy. Our hearts are full of love and well-wishes for this beautiful couple, still glowing after all these years.
Party in the Park Has Got that Swing
Light of Hearts Villa was proud to be a sponsor of Akron Big Band's July 2nd performance at Bedford's 2014 Party in the Park. Party guests had a blast swinging away their Wednesday night, set to the inspired sounds of this stellar band, who has been entertaining audiences all over Northeast Ohio for over 50 years!
Big Win at the
Summer Picnic
Thanks to all who came out to make the LOHV Summer Picnic such a huge success! More than 200 attended the picnic. A big shout out Thank You to the Nifty Fifties Ford Club for attending with their fabulous classic cars. Among the big winners in our raffle was valued family member, local author and editorialist, Regina Brett, who won a brand new grill donated by the Macedonia Home Depot! Congratulations to Regina. May we all have a safe and happy end to this lovely summer!

It's always a delight to sit and enjoy a relaxing conversation with the residents over a cup of tea. This month we had an enjoyable conversation regarding their high school years and their professional careers. They have such fond memories to share of Euclid Beach and growing up in Cleveland.
