In addition to the celebratio­n dedicated to the holiday, Woodbridge Place spotlighte­d three of its residents that share the same birthday with Phoenixvil­le’s favorite day of the year.

To make the day even luckier, Shakelette also celebrated her 13th birthday with the community, allowing the Personal & Memory Care residents to sing her the sweetest song of the day.
