March 2023 Bulletin (Feb 17, 2023)

2023 Valentine's Day with the Seniors of Monument

Thanks to:

Our Tri-Lakes Dynamic Rotary Club (www.TLRotary.com)

Girl Scout Troop #40095 : Madison Schoolsky, Alexia Grama, Chloe Catalano, Anna Hacker, & leader Nicole Schoolsky

Valentine youth helpers: Aliyah Eaton & Miriam Beasley

Lori Lynn's Cookies and Cream ( www.lorilynns.com )

Remember the term “It takes a village to raise a village.” We, as in many generations and groups, put together two heart warming events on this Valentine's Day with the local Monument Senior homes – Bethesda Gardens Monument & Jackson Creek Senior Living. The Girl Scout troop spent hours making colorful cards accented with chocolates while leader, Nicole Schoolsky, made scrumptious cupcakes. Then Miriam Beasley used her magic touch of artistic skills to decorate the cupcakes. The Tri-Lakes Dynamic Rotary Club members and young future Rotarian, Aliyah Eaton, enjoyed participating and seeing the smiles on these beautiful young faces in the Senior home while helping the seniors in the Valentine party. The Seniors definitely loved eating those yummy chocolate and vanilla cupcakes during their party.

Earlier in the day, in the other senior home, Seniors enjoyed decorating heart cookies donated by Lori Lynn’s Cookies and Cream. They especially loved adding the sprinkles on their own. Also, they loved licking the frosting from decorating the cookies off their fingers. We especially loved hearing about their life & love stories.

As a Rotarian, the sense of community was felt with love as “it took a village,” AKA community, to “raise a village” and make this project come together on this heart warming day.

TLRotary would like to shout out and thank all those involved – Laurie Beasley, our Rotarians, Girl Scout Troop #40095, Lori Lynn’s Cookies and Cream, Aliyah Eaton, Miriam Beasley – for making this such a successful day.
