Latosha dressed to impress!
Villa’s ADP participants dressed to
impress at their elegant formal affair.
Ladies adorned their favorite gowns
while the men dressed in their finest
suits and tuxes. Complete with
corsages, great music and decorations
the event was a huge success bringing
smiles to everyone.

Residents have been on a roll at the
bowling alley; they are practicing
for Special Olympics. The Cal Tech Y
volunteers also spent the afternoon
with some of our residents at the lanes.
Taking a break from June gloom or
the July heat, Villa residents enjoy a
workout and fun with the Nintendo
Wii, thanks to the 2008 8th grade
class from Mayfield Junior School. The
favorite is bowling!
Other activities this summer include
Dodger games, the Pasadena Police
Officers Variety & BMX show, 4th of
July at the Rosebowl and an all time
favorite – one week at Pilgrim Pines
Summer Camp in Yucaipa.

Jane Moore is a Villa Volunteer and K_XebPfl#;Xeb\JZ_e#>iXq`\#
we celebrated her service at the 2009
Spirit of Volunteerism Luncheon JXclk„ÇN\ZXeËkjXp`k\efl^_
presented by the Volunteer Center of
San Gabriel Valley. She has a weekly 3(/7#!3%(/53% #63#!2%-!2+#(!2)4!",%
poetry group in our Dimensions Adult

Day Program. Her creativity has given
our adults an outlet for their ideas
as well as a place to showcase their
accomplishments. Thank you, Jane!
Villa’s CMOC staff Terri Reed and
Cheryl Franco were also acknowledged
at the event for delivering
Thanksgiving meals to those less
fortunate. Thank you ladies for all the
wonderful work you do!
