It was a feast for the senses and they came home with the prize of Most Creative! Congratulations to these talented chefs! Lots of familiar faces in the photos. You will see some of our wait staff, Matt Pelton and Kaylee White, out enjoying the day along with retired Executive Director, Aimee Ward. The venue was beautiful, the competition was fierce, but there was great camaraderie among the many talented chefs.

The Barbie Movie The Barbie Movie What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much attention? KristenMeyer / Tuesday, October 17, 2023 0 9350 Ok. So we clearly had a lot of fun showing the Barbie Movie in Rayburn Hall on Friday. The pre-party was a hoot! The energy our residents brought to the event was palpable. It's a fun movie, but since I'm blogging on a website for a Senior Community, I thought I might dig deeper and my attention went to the bench scene. Academy award winning, fashion designer, Ann Roth, meets Barbie on a bench where Barbie looks at this elderly woman and says, "you're beautiful," and Ann Roth responds, "I know it." There it is!!! Women talking to each other through generations. Barbie's decision to leave Barbieland and embrace the discomforts of the human experience and to see beauty in aging are some of the themes in the movie. There was magic in the air on friday as we drank pink cocktails, ate pink popcorn, and enjoyed each other as modern women living in challenging times. Read more

Lynne Standish / Wednesday, June 22, 2022 / Categories: Ferris Hills Events, Ferris Hills Blog Bringing the joy of music! Rocappella is a women's a cappella group from Rochester, NY. Their mission is to "bring the joy of music to members of our community who need it most." And that is exactly what they did recently with their concert here at Ferris Hills. Under the direction of Maggie Symington, who started the group in 2014, these women, who have a variety of backgrounds come together to spread their joy of singing. They perform most often at a variety of senior communities in the Rochester area, as well as the YWCA and even had an invitation to perform at a holiday party at the Naval Observatory for the then Vice-President, Joseph Biden and his guests. From the golden oldies to gospel, showtunes, holiday, and even pop music, these ladies use their talents and our residents certainly reaped the benefits!
