Happy Father’s Day, Dads!Every June, families everywhere set aside a day to honorfathers. A father is more than just a family’s patriarch;he is a source of wisdom and strength for everyone inhis home. We’ll be hosting a celebration to say thankyou to all our dads who’ve raised generations. We will

have a feast fit for a king prepared by Chef NathanRojas and his staff, and wonderful musical

entertainment.Julie and David Chirikian and the entire staff here atArcadia Gardens Retirement Hotel would like to wish

all the dads a “Happy Father’s Day.”

Summer Days Ahead“Summertime is always the best

of what might be.” —CharlesBowden

June marks the beginning ofsummer, but that’s not all it’s

known for. We start off summerwith honoring all the dads onFather’s Day. We will have ourluncheon on Sunday June 16thhere at the Gardens. Summer is

also a time to get out, take in thefresh air. Take a stroll aroundour community. The grounds

are so beautiful and well takencare of.

We have our summer concertseries to look forward to.

Baseball is in full swing and wehave long sunny days ahead. We

are overjoyed whenever newresidents move into the

community and this month isno different. So let’s all reach

or smile and WELCOME ournew residents.

With God’s blessings,Pat Redner- Executive Director
