Stand in Integrity: July Events


July is the month in which we celebrate our nation’s independence with fireworks, cook outs and by cherishing our own personal freedoms. Nelson Mandela reminds us “to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” In that spirit join us as we honor those who “Stand in Integrity.”

Dr. Barbara Killinger, PhD, offers this definition of integrity: “Integrity is a personal choice, an uncompromising and predictably consistent commitment to honor moral, ethical, spiritual and artistic values and principles.” To “Stand in Integrity” does not mean that you are flawless or perfect, it means that you admit your shortcomings; you have influence, not because people like you, but because people trust you, believe you, and follow you.

We will also celebrate this month’s Alive in All Seasons theme of Volunteerism by volunteering our time to others, honoring those who volunteer with us, including our Resident Ambassadors; and learning more about volunteer opportunities in the greater community.


Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Superhero Slurpee Salute where we will be celebrating our local volunteers (aka superheroes) in style with a barbeque extravaganza and business card drawing for a gift certificate to Sonic and a superhero T-shirt on July 11th from noon to 1:30 pm; our Fly Me to the Moon Event featuring lunar-themed games and a moon-landing photo shoot on July 24th from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm; or our Alzheimer’s Association Class about dementia care with light refreshments on July 31st from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm (RSVP to 303-665-3722 by July 24). Take a look at our calendar and join us for any and all activities that will help you make the most of these last few weeks of summer.
