November 2015 Join the Chorus Soon, holiday tunes will fill the air. If you get the chance, join in a sing-along. Singing in a group is good for you. Crooning in a chorus lowers your stress, elevates your mood and can even benefit your heart rate as much as yoga does. Happy Thanksgiving to All! I would like wish all of our residents, families, and friends a happy Thanksgiving this November. We ve got a lot planned this November, between Election Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving. Join us on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, November 25th, for our dessert potluck.
