Ariana's Little Library 

In Alexian Village's community room sits an adorable little free library stocked with children and adult books for everyone's reading pleasure thanks to local fifth-grader, Ariana.  Find out how Ariana's passion for reading inspired the library and who visits regularly to read.








Garden Victory!  

Together, maintenance manager John at Travanse Living at Grayslake and handyman resident Glen built custom-made raised planter boxes. Now Victory gardeners can grow veggies and flowers in handcrafted planters made with love. 








ArtPath for a Cause  

Travanse Living at Olathe resident Clyde repurposed an old sewing machine into a handy new desk, and other residents are also turning trash into treasure for a summer auction fundraiser for the Walk to End Alzheimer's.

Days after celebrating her 100th birthday at Victory Centre of Bartlett, Wilhelmina, known as "Billie," plans to embark on a trip to Florida for a PGA golf tournament, as this former golfer and Floridian does every year. But before she leaves, her alma mater B loom Township High School, will honor Billie's birthday milestone as she is the sole surviving member of the 1935 graduate class and a member of Bloom High School's Hall of Fame. Billie was inducted in 2010 for serving 18 years on the local school district's Board of Education and for her lifelong commitment to volunteering.

Read more to learn why Billie says being 100  "doesn't feel any different."







Kids' Got Talent

Singing, playing the recorder, tickling the ivories and performing soccer tricks were among the acts that students from Prairie Crossing Charter School's Care Club performed at a talent show for Travanse Living at Grayslake residents. A round of post-show ice cream sundaes capped off the amazing event!
