๐ŸŽญ From Chelsea to Hamilton: A Shared Adventure We love heading out to enjoy local productions, and this time our adventure took us to Grand Rapids for "Hamilton" at DeVos Performance Hall. Our travel group included a wonderful mix โ€” residents, family members, friends from the Chelsea Senior Center, and even a few staff who couldnโ€™t resist tagging along. It was the perfect chance to connect, share laughs, and celebrate the joy of the arts together. #silvermaplesoutandabout #Hamilton #CommunityConnections

๐ŸŽชโœจ Carnival day at Silver Maples was a feast for the sensesโ€”the smell of popcorn in the air, yummy churros in hand, and laughter all around! Residents and staff went head-to-head in a pie-eating contest ๐Ÿฅง, tried their luck at ring toss, lucky ducky, and shoot the can, and won fun prizes along the way. Our incredible staff painted faces, twisted balloon animals, and even volunteered to be brave targets for the pie-throwing contest. And of course, our furry friend Daisy May stole the spotlight with her special performance.

๐ŸŒธ Fresh from the garden! Peg was spotted strolling through the halls with an armful of blooms, freshly cut from our very own Cutting Garden. Whether it's creating a cheerful bouquet for their apartment or sharing a few stems with a neighbor, our residents love bringing the beauty of the outdoors in.

Members of our leadership team had a great time volunteering at the first day of this yearโ€™s Sounds & Sights Festival! ๐ŸŽถ

Christina and JoAnne greeted guests in the Social Tent, while Holly and Mike pitched in at the Classic Car Show ๐Ÿš—. One of the best parts? Running into several current and former Silver Maples employeesโ€”do you recognize any of these friendly faces?

We always enjoy catching up with community members, and Silver Maples families, and friends. Events like these remind us just how strong our community really is. Chelsea, you never disappoint!
We took a little stroll down memory lane at the Classic Car Show during Chelseaโ€™s Sounds & Sights festival ๐Ÿš—โœจ 

Our residents loved seeing these beauties up close โ€“ each car sparked stories of first dates, family road trips, and favorite rides from years past.
What was your very first car? Share below!
๐Ÿšญ๐Ÿ˜‚ Who says you canโ€™t have a little mischief in your day?

Last week, a few of our residents staged a โ€œsmoke outโ€ in the lobbyโ€ฆwith ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜† ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€! One of the ladies spotted them while shopping downtown Chelsea and thought, โ€œWe can have some fun with these!โ€ Soon enough, ash trays were set out, candy cigarettes were in hand, and they even posted a sign declaring it a โ€œ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฆ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎโ€ โ€“ despite our entire campus being non-smoking.

Their creativity had everyone laughing. A couple shared stories about their real smoking days, including one who was hypnotized to quit.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Candy cigarettes were so cool when we were kids โ€“ do you remember these?

๐Ÿ’ญ Just another example of how our residents bring humor, nostalgia, and joy to everyday life here. โค๏ธ
Fraud Watch: Tips from Local Experts

We were grateful to welcome Chelsea Police Chief Kevin Kazyak and Grant Smith from the Chelsea State Bank for an important presentation on scams targeting our community. 

They shared eye-opening examples of how scammers are reaching people by email, text, and even voicemail.
One reassuring takeaway โ€“ falling for a scam doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re foolish. Scammers are getting more sophisticated every day, and awareness is our best defense.

Thank you to our presenters for keeping us informed and safer! ๐Ÿ™
