A group of residents recently took the Springmoor bus to Videri Chocolate Factory in downtown Raleigh. During our guided tour, we got an inside look at the chocolate-making process—from where cacao is grown and how it’s fermented, to how it’s transformed into Videri’s award-winning chocolate bars and confections. It was a fun and delicious experience! springmoor.org/news-events/events-new

While working in her garden one afternoon, resident Lyn Nelson noticed a disabled goose hopping around on one leg. The goose followed as Lyn sat in the grass for a moment of rest and a snack. The goose came right up to her and stuck out her beak as though asking for a treat. Lyn compiled, and the two have periodically been afternoon snack friends ever since. Canada Geese are just one of the many types of critters that enhance the beauty of our 34-acre campus. springmoor.org/photo-gallery

Many of our Independent Living residents serve the community through our Stewart Health Center (SHC) Auxiliary, which was founded in 1987. Volunteering with the Auxiliary is a great way to get involved and make new friends, and there are many different ways to help.

The Entertainment Troupe (pictured) performed at SHC in July, with a theme of Summer Fun. They sang and danced to “Itsy Bitsy Teeny We**ie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini,” as well as other favorites. And, yes, they are wearing t-shirts!

Auxiliary volunteers also play bingo or bridge with SHC residents, arrange or deliver fresh flowers, distribute daily mail and newspapers, read aloud to inform and entertain, and write notes to and for residents. Our “Friendly Visitors” volunteers sit and talk about current events or their life experiences.

Volunteers can also assist their neighbors at twice-monthly worship services at SHC, plan birthday parties, es**rt residents to various events, eat lunch with folks, and accompany dog owners and their pets as they visit residents.

If you're an Independent Living resident with a calm, friendly dog, volunteer your furry friend to join Pet Partners. Last, but definitely not least, if you can act, sing, or dance, consider becoming a member of our Entertainment Troupe.

Check out just a couple of the beautiful projects residents have constructed in our Woodworking Shop! Resident Harry Holladay says, “At Springmoor we’re fortunate to have access to a well-equipped shop that welcomes beginners and seasoned craftsmen alike. Tucked away but always available, it offers an amazing array of tools, hardware, and materials.”

The shop is located just off the North Village Breezeway next to the Meraki Arts Studio, and the Woodworking Shop Committee of the Residents Association maintains it. Resident Frank Roediger chairs the committee.

“Perhaps best of all is the sense of community and helpfulness that surrounds the space,” Harry says. “Frank Roediger is a great person to contact if you have any questions about using the shop or need a bit of guidance. His knowledge, willingness to help, and enthusiasm for woodworking make him an invaluable resource.” Thank you, Frank, for your contributions in this area!

Phil Kirk recently regaled a large group of residents with a talk about his many years in public service. Phil served as a member of the North Carolina State Senate, Chief of Staff to a U.S. Representative and two North Carolina Governors, Chair of the North Carolina State Board of Education, President of the North Carolina Chamber of Commerce, and twice as North Carolina Secretary of Human Resources.

He delighted the audience with his humorous stories about his travels to 750 public schools in North Carolina, his work behind the scenes in the Government’s office, and his experiences in the General Assembly. Springmoor residents enjoyed his insights about the joy and satisfaction that can be derived from a life in public service. springmoor.org/news-events/events-new

Springmoor residents were treated to a Summer Shrimp Boil in July. We enjoyed lots of shrimp, potatoes, sausage, and corn on the cob on the North Village Breezeway. Residents have made it clear they want this to be an annual event! springmoor.org/news-events/events-new
