Eagle’s Trace celebrates 10-year milestone
Honoring history and celebrating a bright future, Eagle’s Trace held a three-day celebration to commemorate its 10th anniversary.
The festivities at the Erickson Living retirement community began on Oct. 8 during a ceremony that honored its founding members, 93 pioneer residents who moved or reserved in 2005, and the eight employees who began working at the campus the same year.
Special guests included U.S. Rep. Jim Murphy, Brooke Bacuetes representing U.S. Rep. John Culberson, and Heather Ramsey-Cook representing U.S. Rep. Ted Poe, all of whom presented proclamations. Governed by a board of directors, Eagle’s Trace board members Michelle Bohreer, John D. Bowser, Shelaghmichael Brown and Boone Powell attended.
Steve Aigner, executive director of Eagle’s Trace, served as the emcee. The day was completed with an elegant dinner prepared for all residents by the dining services team in the Garden Room Restaurant.
The celebration continued on Oct. 9, as residents and employees partnered to create the “perfect 10,” a photo op held in the community’s front courtyard. In the evening, Eagle’s Trace hosted a cocktail reception for residents and priority list members.
With the weekend came the circus. The community held an outdoor, family-friendly event featuring music, games, food and even rides with “Patrick the Camel.” Eagle’s Trace employees Faye Drennan and Lisa Hadley served as co-chairs of the 10th Anniversary Committee.
Opened in 2005, the 70-acre campus is currently home to over 650 residents and 425 full- and part-time employees.
