Campus Happenings

Saluting our veterans and honoring our fallen heroes

Felician Village residents and veterans, Laverne Weishoff, Ed Yohanek, and Jack Sullivan, proudly participated in Manitowoc's Memorial Day Parade on May 30th. The three men rode in the Felician Village on the Go vehicle as they waved and smiled at parade goers.

Thank you Laverne, Ed, Jack and all soldiers for your service to our country.

When is it time to hit the brakes?

For many older adults, driving a vehicle provides a level of independence. Having the conversation about when to give up driving with a loved one or making that decision yourself can be very difficult. How do you know when the time is right?

Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

Felician Village at Home members had fun playing "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" The 5th grader taking part in the game was Aubrey Bruckschen, the daughter of FV membership manager, Megan Bruckschen.

Lots of laughs and a few members had more answers correct than Aubrey.

Summer Gardening

Residents at St. Mary's and The Villa had a great time getting their hands dirty and planting beautiful flowers in the planter boxes for the summer season with life enrichment specialist, Zoe.

Purple for a Purpose

June was Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month and Felician Village went purple for a purpose during June. During the week of June 20th the Bistro and the Café served special purple food and beverages.

Plus, there was an EVERYTHING PURPLE table with snacks where staff could donate; all profits supported the FV Alzheimer's walk team.

Flag Day

A Flag Day celebration was held at The Gardens on June 14 for residents and visitors to honor Old Glory.

Patriotic music was led by Gardens resident, Barb Cook, a flag raising ceremony with the VFW Otto Oas Post 659 and a delicious lunch was served.

Sweet Treats

Thibby's Ice Cream truck made a stop at Felician Village on Monday, June 20th. Thanks to an anonymous donor our residents were treated to ice cream snacks. With the 90 degree heat that week, it was a perfect day for a cold treat. FV donors are awesome!
