Thank You
The residents and staff of
Colonial Springs would like to
thank everyone who participated in our Third Annual Spring
Fling, which was held last
month. Your contributions
helped us raise more than
$1200 for our activity room
kitchen.
We would also like to thank
those who donated their time
playing music, auctioning off
pies, working at the kid’s
games and helping with the
food booth.
We couldn’t have done it
without all of you. You are the
reason why Colonial Springs is
both a great place to work and
live.

Loads of Fun Week
Let’s go back in time...to the days when there was no electricity, no running water and no Downey or Tide. Let go back
to the days when laundry was done on a wash board and in a
hot water tub. Those were the good ole’ day.
We will be learning all about the changes over the years in
how we used to do laundry versus how it is done today, as
well as the future of laundry.
Some of our activities include the history of washboards
and washtubs, making dryer sheet sachets, experiments on
getting out nasty stains, and exercising the laundry Olympics.
This week should be both a learning experience as well as a
lot of fun.
I—Scream Month
Did you know that
Ronald Reagan designated
July as National Ice Cream
Month in 1984?
In his honor, we are
going to serve ice cream
throughout this month. We
will have ice cream sodas,
sundaes, smoothies and
cones. We will also go on
an outing for ice cream. So
watch your calendars for
this special treat.
Vegetables Needed
Every fall, the residents enjoy to can
and make salsa for our holiday craft
show.
If you would have any tomatoes,
peppers, onions or any fresh produce
that we could use to make salsa, we
would be glad to take it off your hands.
If you would like to donate, please
contact Patrice Melton, activities
director. Thank you very much ahead of
time.
