Hey, hey, it’s your birthday, and
you’re the guest of honor! We’d like
to celebrate you with a toast and
warm wishes. All are welcome, but
if you’re celebrating a birthday this
month, you are definitely invited! This is a great
time to get out, enjoy music, and fellowship. So
mark your calendar and plan to join us on the
third Wednesday of the month. We will see you in
the Gathering Place at 3:00 pm on May 21st! Be

Bird houses for Hospice
Every Monday in May at 1:00 pm we will meet
in the Gathering Place to build and decorate
birdhouses for Hospice. Every unit at the Hospice
house will have a birdhouse outside their room.
The residents at The Barrington are invited to
be a part of this wonderful service project.
Your birdhouse could cheer up a resident at
the Hospice House. We will provide paint and
supplies or feel free to bring your own. It would be
great to have many different styles of birdhouses
to donate. Be sure to invite your neighbors for this
meaningful event.
Bayada Summer
Cook Out
Join us in the Courtyard on May
31st at 5:00 pm for a special
cookout. Mary Jane will be the
“hostess with the mostess”. You
will enjoy great food, drinks and
great time of fellowship. Every
event that Bayada sponsors with Mary
Jane is always an awesome time.
Mark your calendar now, invite your
neighbors and join the fun. (The dining
room will be serving meals at normal times).
Summer Backyard Games
When I was young, my parents
would sit in our backyard and all of
the kids would gather together and
play fun games. On Friday, May 23rd at 1:30 pm
we will meet in the Gathering Place and turn back
the clock and play many of those wild and crazy
games. At 3:00 pm we will have watermelon and
drinks just like we did back in the day. The only
difference will be, we have no curfew! Bring a
friend and plan now to join us!
National Limerick Month
Did you know that May is National
Limerick Month?
A Limerick, a small poem has 5 lines,
Those 5 lines hopefully, always rhyme,
Two in the middle,
Are always little,
Be sure to join us for this poetic fun time!
On Friday May the 9th at 1:00pm we will compose
our very own limericks and at 3:00 pm we will
share them with the Happy Hour bunch! Bring
your creative juices and join us for this fun time!
Armed Forces Day
We would like to show our thanks
for all of our Veterans here at The
Barrington. Our freedom came at a
high price and every Veteran shared in
that cost to give us the freedom that we
enjoy every day. We will be celebrating
Armed Forces Day on Friday, May 16th at 3:00 pm
with special music and drinks. Mark your calendar
and invite your friends.
Kentucky Derby Day
May 3rd is the running of the
ponies at the Kentucky Derby! Join
us in the Gathering Place for Horse
Racing and a special Happy Hour drink. At 1:00
pm we will have our own horse race event and at
3:00 pm will be our special drinks and fun. Ladies
wear your hats and show them off at our very own
Kentucky Derby Happy Hour. Invite your friends
and neighbors to join the fun. Come bet on your
horses and enjoy!

A Note from the Executive Director
As Spring is upon us and we see new life
everywhere; it encourages me to want to be active
and live life to the fullest. Living life to the fullest
during your golden years is about doing things that
make you the happiest.
Some ways of living life to the fullest and feeling
good every day include:
• Staying socially connected. Get out of your
apartments and join in a game of Wii bowling,
play Pokeno or Bingo, join an exercise class, or
take a dip in the pool with friends.
• Volunteering. Volunteerism is an amazing
way of feeling connected with the world around
you and gives you an amazing sense of purpose.
You could volunteer as a library assistant, join
a welcoming committee, volunteer to run the
general store, or to assist in running activities.
• Staying physically active. You will feel better
overall and will be able to live a more active
lifestyle if you stay physically active. Exercise
classes are offered Monday through Friday every
week. There is also a full gym that is open to the
Luau Party
residents on the 3rd floor. You could take a swim
in the pool or join a water aerobics class.
• Staying mentally active. Keeping your mind
sharp is just as important as keeping your body
active. You could read in the library, join in brain
games that are offered throughout the week,
engage in coffee and conversation or even
play Bingo!
It is my goal to make sure that
every resident is happy and has
the opportunity to live each day
to the fullest. If there is an
activity, game, or educational
topic that you would like to
see explored at The Barrington
please let us know!
I would like to leave you with a
quote from Joe Lewis, “You only
live once, but if you do it right,
once is enough”.
On May 15th at 6:00 pm we will meet at the pool, enjoy snacks and drinks and have
a great time at our yearly Luau party. Dig out that Hawaiian shirt, your Mumu, and be
ready to have a great time. We will have special drinks, entertainment and delicious snacks.
This is great opportunity to enjoy our beautiful weather and our pool. Plan now to invite
your family and friends for this awesome event.
