Silver Maples will launch three big events this month.  First up, the Tic Tac Toe Wellness Challenge kicks off on Feb. 17.  Staff and residents work towards becoming healthier through earning tic tac toes by doing things like “Skipping Dessert,” Working Out on the Nustep or Treadmill for 30 minutes,” or “Reading a Wellness Article.”  Each time you complete three in a row, you can win a fun prize!  All participants will also receive a free pedometer!

Then on Feb. 19, we host the Silver Maples Winter Olympics!  Three “countries,” led by team captains will compete in the Bobsled Relay, the Pencil and Ping Pong Ball Biathalon, and the Snowperson Decorating!  It’s lots of fun and medals to be won!

Lastly, we’ll hold our second annual cook-off event on Tues., Feb. 25!  This year it’s the Simmering Soup Challenge. (Last year, we held a Chili Cook-Off!)  Staff and residents can enter and prepare a delicious soup in hopes of winning the grand prize.  Proceeds benefit the Council Scholarship!   Bring it on!
