At many of our communities, residents are involved in all kinds of charitable activities, from making dolls to send to children in Iraq to organizing fund-raisers to support needy families in the area. Many receive awards for their charitable efforts, as well as for individual achievements. For example, one of our residents was recently honored for his service to our country during World War II. In addition, many groups from the surrounding neighborhoods generously give their time to entertain and help residents. This section of our website is devoted to those special activities and efforts for and by our residents that help foster a strong, lively and interesting community life. We are proud of our residents and honored to have them part of the Emeritus family.
