A Monthly Look Inside Aravilla Clearwater
Hawaiian Celebration!
Aloha, August! We are thrilled to welcome this vibrant month at Aravilla Clearwater, where we will immerse ourselves in the enchanting culture of Hawaii. Join us on Monday, August 25th, at 2:00 PM for an engaging session of Hawaiian Culture Trivia in the Promenade. This interactive event will not only entertain but also enlighten our seniors with fascinating facts and insights about the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Following the trivia, at 3:00 PM, prepare to be captivated by the mesmerizing performance of the talented Polynesian dancer, Valerie Herzfeld. Dressed in authentic Hawaiian attire, Valerie will grace us with her exquisite hula dance, transporting our memory care residents and guests straight to the tropics with every graceful movement. To enhance this delightful experience, we invite you to indulge in a taste of Hawaii tropical fruits and refreshing tropical drinks, perfectly complementing the festive atmosphere. Mark your calendars and gather with us in the Promenade at 3:00 PM for an unforgettable afternoon filled with culture, dance, and delicious flavors. Let’s celebrate the spirit of the islands together! We can’t wait to celebrate Independence Day with you at Memory Care Aravilla Clearwater!

Resident Spotlight:
“Doris C.”
Welcome Doris C. to the Aravilla Clearwater Family! We are excited to announce that Doris has joined our Aravilla Clearwater family! Born in 1951 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Doris grew up in Maple Shade, New Jersey, and graduated from Merchantville High School in 1969. In 1971, she married her lovely husband, had two children, and meanwhile enjoys the blessings of three grandchildren. Doris brings a wealth of experience, having served as an administrative assistant and owning her own business in NC, for 15 years. A highlight of her time there was participating in the annual pirate invasion, where she and her husband embraced the community spirit by dressing as pirates. Her family life has been enriched by her experiences on a farm, where she raised chickens, goats, horses, and rabbits, and nurtured a garden full of fruits and vegetables. Doris enjoys gardening, cooking, singing, dancing, and shopping with friends. A standout moment in her culinary journey was when Kevin surprised her with a private chef to teach her how to make Italian cioppino, celebrating her Italian heritage. Doris is known for her delicious meals that bring the family together. Travel is another passion of Doris’s, with memorable trips to Greece, Italy, Aruba, Curacao, and Disney World. The family spent time in Aruba due to her husband’s work, during which Doris adopted two dogs from the island. She cherishes her frequent visits to Disney World, particularly enjoying the drinks at Epcot and the charm of “It’s a Small World.” We are thrilled to have Doris with us and look forward to the warmth and vibrancy she will bring to our community!
