Felician Village Newsletter - February Edition

Felician Village News

The Gardens Valentine's Gala was not one but TWO days!

You could feel the LOVE in the Wisconsin Room as it filled with married couples, dear friends and family! The Gardens Valentine's Gala has become such a popular event we added another day to accommodate all guests. On February 13 and again on February 14 attendees enjoyed a delicious meal prepared and served by the Felician Village culinary department. Guests also had the pleasure of hearing the beautiful voices from members of the Clipper City Chordsmen who provided wonderful entertainment. Both days were filled with love, outstanding food and musical enjoyment.

Mission Message

One of the Core Values of the ministry of Felician Village is Solidarity with People in Need. That value is described here: “Sensitive to need, we provide resources and services for the underserved, especially the financially disadvantaged.” There are always opportunities for us to uphold this value, as there are always those in need.

Balloon Games

The Villa and Court residents greatly enjoy balloon games! Not only are they entertaining but also provide numerous benefits, including improved motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive function.

Balloons can also bring smiles because they are associated with celebrations, positive emotions, and happiness. Their vibrant colors, tactile sensation, and buoyant nature can boost the mood and create a festive atmosphere.

One-of-a-Kind Valentines

St. Mary's residents created beautiful handmade Valentine's Day cards. The time, effort, and personal touches they added

to each card will certainly brighten someone's day.

National Hot Chocolate Day

National Hot Chocolate Day was January 31. A day to enjoy a cup and celebrate the beverage that's often associated with cold weather. Gardens residents made Mexican hot chocolate, cookies, games and great discussions.

It’s time to celebrate some of the exceptional people who help make Felician Village great! The Volunteer of the Year award honors a volunteer who has made a positive impact at Felician Village and exceeds our mission, vision and values.

Nominations are due March 28, 2025.
