Our Men’s Club gathered this week to enjoy a holiday lunch filled with good conversation and friendship. During their time together, they also paused to raise a toast in loving memory of our dear friend, Bill Howard, who passed away earlier this month. We will miss Bill's friendship, charm, and wit. He will always hold a special place in our hearts. 💕

A huge thank you to Team Excelsior and everyone who helped make the Holiday Gala such a success!

From the Environmental Team, who spent the week making our community shine, moving furniture, and decorating the bus with festive lights, to the Concierge Team who took reservations, to Ellie, who worked tirelessly on seating charts and countless revisions, to the Leadership Team, who moved endless tables and chairs, decorated, served, and supported every step of the way — and to our Health & Wellbeing Team, who served and supported our residents in the Petals neighborhood throughout the evening.

And of course, our sincere thanks to the Culinary Team for preparing and serving such a delicious meal. It truly took a village, and we couldn’t have done it without this incredible team! 🌟🎄
