William Hertzig who read to the audience a poem he wrote in 1986 to all the fallen comrades, specifically nine buddies that he lost in war.   Also, our resident Frances L. wrote a poem, “The War Days”.  Thank you to all veterans for your service!

Jupiter Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center had a wonderful day with their 1940’s USO dance, featuring live band music by Ron Finn. Staff members had fun dressing up in 1940’s dress wear, and the opening ceremony began with the American Legion Post 199, who recognized all veterans at the community. The residents and families had a wonderful time listening and dancing to big band music. And of course, a USO dance wouldn’t be complete without old fashion Apple Cider donuts and coffee!

Travel Destination: We headed to the Caribbean on the SS Jupiter Cruise ship! Our residents had such fun traveling to the islands, tasting all the different cuisine from each island. Our residents took boarding pictures, and received a boarding pass, travel album and a postcard from the Caribbean. Claudette Romulus, CNA, who represented the country of Haiti, showed her skills in balancing a basket on her head which is custom in Haiti when you go to the market. We can’t wait for our next travel destination- an African Safari!

It was a wonderful event, and everyone a lot of fun!
