Australia! A land of staggering contrast and spectacular beauty – from coral reefs to ancient rainforests and scorched red deserts. This month we’re taking a trip to the land down under! The best part is, you don’t even need to pack your bags! Friday, January 26th is Australia Day and we’re celebrating like real Aussies do. We’ll test our knowledge with trivia and fun facts all Aussie related and enjoy a documentary on the landmarks that can’t be missed. What trip would be complete without a taste of local food & beverage, so we’ll also be serving lamingtons and Bundaberg ginger beer. After this adventure we’ll all know what a‘cooee’ is and what ‘Oi for drongos and galahs’ means. For now, I’ll just say, “G’day, mate!”

Jim plays the guitar and sings hits from the 1920s thru to today. He actively engages with his audience so he usually ends up playing a lot of requests and old favorites.

Experience the soothing, peaceful sounds of harp while you dine.
Playing a mix of old-time favorites she is sure to compliment your evening meal.

Donna Thunder knows how to put on a great show that gets everyone singing, clapping and dancing. With Donna’s fun energy and wide selection of music, she is sure to play something everyone will enjoy!

If you’re tired of the snow and cold weather escape south of the border for a little get together! Wear your Hawaiian shirts & Hula skirts, then Hula on over for a Blue Hawaiian cocktail. It’s Tiki Time!!!

Let’s gather around the fire for an afternoon of merriment!  We’ll share stories of holiday traditions and sing our favorite Christmas carols.  Jingle juice punch and eggnog will be served. 

For the past 10 years Westview Meadows and the Montpelier Senior Activity Center have worked together to bring about the Shoeboxes for Seniors Project.  This wonderful holiday tradition brings gifts of cheer to seniors in our community who may not have visitors or presents to open on Christmas morning.  We are beginning to collect shoeboxes and items to “stuff” the boxes with.  The shoeboxes can be filled with small gifts such as card games, sewing kits, puzzles, or mittens, just to name a few.
