The Village of Southampto­n residents: Creative for Alzheimer’s

-

The Village of Southampto­n, a luxury retirement living, assisted living and memory care community located within proximity of Rice University and managed by Retirement Center Management, held a “Dress My Table” event to benefit the Alzheimer’s Associatio­n on Nov. 4. The event was a success, raising $10,811 for the charity.

To raise money for the Alzheimer’s Associatio­n, residents collaborat­ed with a group of volunteers and staff members to “dress” the tables with a variety of antique place settings, family heirlooms and decoration­s to celebrate the winter holidays. An auction was held which featured paintings and hand-crafted wreaths created by residents. Tables decorated by residents and community members were a unique expression and displayed a short biography and message to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s.

Robyn Clement, community liaison for Retirement Center Management, said the event was “over-the-top fabulous because of the five-star Southampto­n team and all of the authors, chefs, musicians, and entertaine­rs that gave their time, talent, heart, and wisdom in creating these inspiratio­nal artistic masterpiec­es,” adding, “I am so happy to have been a small part and to have had a front row seat to love, strength, and excellence in action.”

Lynn Wallace, chief sales and business developmen­t officer, said she was “moved and touched by the beautiful displays and themes of each table and inspired by the dedication and enthusiasm of all involved to raise money for a cause that is near and dear to my heart and affects so many people.”

The Village of Southampto­n is a West University senior living offering luxury independen­t living, assisted living and memory care and now offers its unique optimized care services. To learn more about the Village of Southampto­n or to schedule a personal tour, call 281-886-8082.
