Across our Campus
Responsible Resident Rewards
Each week this month, our staff are on the lookout for residents wearing their masks. When they spot a resident wearing their mask properly, they give them a raffle ticket. Then each week we draw for a winner. This week's winners are Flory and Margaret. Thank you for being such responsible residents and doing your part to protect our community!
Theme Weeks Continue Across Campus
Our Resident Life and Life Enrichment teams at Beacon Hill are working hard to come up with new and engaging theme weeks for residents across the community. This week residents enjoyed Flower Power week, and next week we will be celebrating baseball season with Take Me Out to the Ball Game week.
Making a Difference with the Beacon Hill Legacy Society
The Beacon Hill Legacy Society recognizes those who plan to leave a gift in their will or other legacy gift to this ministry, extending the impact of their generosity well beyond their lifetimes. Our newest brochure explains the significance of this type of giving and covers the exclusive benefits available to society members. It also describes the unique influence this inner circle carries to inspire others to make a difference. These brochures have been distributed to resident mailboxes
If you have any questions, or if we can serve you in any way, please feel free to contact Andi Allen directly at 616-291-1371 or andi.allen@beaconhillgr.org. And, you can always read more on our website
