On Thursday, May 5 at 3pm, enjoy a refreshing margarita on the deck.  There will be snacks too, of course!  

On April 15th, the residents of Westview Meadows will head out on a day trip to The Fleming Museum of Art in Burlington, VT. There are a few new exhibits that we are very excited to see! One of the new exhibits is “Unpacked: Refugee Baggage”, a narrative on the experience and the true beginnings of a refugee’s story.

As spring approaches in Vermont and the sap begins to flow, it is once again time to enjoy the delicious treat that is sugar on snow! This Friday at Westview Meadows we will be boiling syrup on the deck and enjoying Wayside donuts and pickle spears with our sugar on snow!

Westview Meadows will be hosting a Montpelier Senior Center course at their facility. This course will explore memoir writing with Maggie Thompson.  Whether writing for ourselves or our grandchildren, becoming the older generation in our families provides a rich perspective on the stories that have colored our lives. Drawing from several books and resources on memoir, we will explore getting started, finding form, growing our language and craft skills, and incorporating sensory details. Memoir is an invitation to reflect and discover deeper insights and meaning. Together we will shape our life experiences into compelling stories, and offer robust encouragement and thoughtful discussion along the way.
