CILC / Cleveland Museum of Art Symposium

On Tuesday, April 10th Wiggins Place hosted the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration (CILC.org) and the Cleveland Museum of Art as they presented a Long Distance Learning program from the Cleveland Museum of Art on Egypitian Mummies to tenants from Wiggins Place and RH Myers.

In October the CILC will be presenting a video at the Leadingage Conference promoting Long Distance Learning in Senior communities.  Tenants at Wiggins Place and RH Myers already know the value of these wonderful programs and were pleased to participate in not only viewing the insightful and educational program but contributing when interviewed for this piece.

Thank you to LeAnne Stuver, Director of Rose Institute for Life Long Leaning, for coordinating this special event!

Wiggins Place loves to host Inter-generational events where tenants can invite their grand and great grandchildren for special programs.  On Sunday April 1st tenants and their special guests joined Rabbi Shmuli Friedman of The Model Matzah Bakery with the Living Legacy to make Matzah Pizza!

Menorah Park's Platinum CLub

On Wednesday, February 22nd, Wiggins Place was honored to host the first ever Menorah Park Platinum Club.  57 tenants and residents from all four buildings on campus and the Adult Day Care were invited to join Sam Weingard as he celebrated his 100th birthday.  How did one snag one of these coveted invites?  Why only by being 97 or over that's how.

We welcomed multiple tenants for a meet and greet along with a lovely selection of refreshments for all to enjoy.  Certifiates were passed out and members were honored passed on their level of membership:

Bronze - 97

Silver - 98

Gold - 99

100 + - Platinum

                     Congratulations to all of our members.  We will see you on the next birthday!!
