Loomis Communities’ 2026 Spring Reception

The 2026 Spring Reception was hosted at Loomis Lakeside at Reeds Landing in Springfield on Thursday, May 14th. The event is the only annual fundraiser for all the Loomis communities and its many residents, team members, families, business and non-profit partners, and friends. In addition to celebrating honorees and recipients of the Elvira Whiting Ball Award and the Award for Inspirational Aging, the 160+ guests were treated to wonderful catering provided by each of the 3 Loomis Communities and beautiful music from Frank Newton and Jeremy Milligan. Proceeds from this year’s event will help fund and implement enhanced technology strategies and systems for both residents and team members at all three Loomis communities (Applewood in Amherst, Loomis Lakeside at Reeds Landing, and Loomis Village in South Hadley).







Elvira Whiting Ball Award

The Elvira Whiting Ball Award is named for the founding leader of The Loomis Communities and is presented to an individual or group that has advanced the mission of The Loomis Communities to open doors to worlds of positive aging by virtue of their outstanding efforts in service to older adults. This year, Loomis proudly honored and recognized the team from Herbert J. Sims & Company for their 30-plus years of work on behalf of Loomis and countless other senior living communities, non-profit organizations, and healthcare providers across the country. Together – Bills Sims, Aaron Rulnick, Jim Bodine, and others – have shown an during commitment to organizations like Loomis, touching countless lives, and expanding opportunities for generations of older adults and those we serve.







Award for Inspirational Aging

The Award for Inspirational Aging honors a Loomis resident (or residents) who embodies the vision of a world where older adults lead active, engaged, and inspired lives. Loomis was proud to present the 2026 award to Loomis Village resident Carolyn Hoyt. After a long and successful career in financial systems and critical volunteer work in the social and racial justice arenas, Carolyn moved to Loomis Village in 2010 and picked up right where her professional career left off. She has served and led both Loomis Village and broader Loomis communities’ efforts in governance as well as mission-based initiatives. She has led by example and improved the lives of many – young and older – along the way.

This past February, The Loomis Communities welcomed members of the greater community to its first-ever Chowder Bowl, an event that blended friendly competition with a shared commitment to giving back.

Culinary teams from each Loomis Community took part in the competition, each preparing their own chowder and bringing creativity and skill to the table. Guests from the surrounding area were invited to sample each entry and cast their votes, playing an active role in selecting the fan favorite.

Top honors went to the Nova Scotia Seafood Chowder, prepared by the culinary team at Loomis Lakeside at Reeds Landing. The dish stood out among the entries and earned the highest praise from attendees.

While the competition added excitement to the day, the true impact of the event was felt through its support of the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. As part of the Chowder Bowl, guests were encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations. Across all three Loomis communities, a total of 419 pounds of food was collected, helping to provide approximately 349 meals to individuals and families throughout Western Massachusetts.

Events like the Chowder Bowl reflect The Loomis Communities’ ongoing commitment to fostering meaningful connections while supporting the broader community. By bringing people together around a shared experience, the event demonstrated how even a simple bowl of chowder can make a lasting difference.
