HARBOUR SENIOR LIVING OF MONROEVILLE | a Senior Lifestyle community | MONROEVILLE, PA 15146 | 412-380-2589
JOIN US THIS MONTH FOR
the story and
the glory!
BEHIND EVERY
AMAZING EVENT
THERE IS AN
AMAZING STORY.
BEHIND EVERY
AMAZING STORY
ARE AMAZING
PEOPLE.
This month’s
theme, “The Story
and the Glory,”
July 4 Picnic Lunch
will focus on the
people in history
as well as those in
our personal lives who have literally changed the course of time. Storytelling is
the oldest form of entertainment. This month begins with celebrating 239 years of
independence. After a picnic-style lunch on the Fourth, songwriter, storyteller and
musician Rick Bruening will bring to life our country’s most cherished memories.
We will enjoy a variety of events throughout the month to capture our imagination
and touch our hearts. Join us for an old fashioned radio story theater, a presentation
of The Book of Love, or write your own story in our Journal Journey club. We will
be inspired once again by those who have written history with their lives and who
have shared their story and the glory.
THIS MONTH’S
word from
your executive
director
As we look at our theme for July,
“The Story and the Glory,” it reminds
me of all of the stories that my
grandfather told me about growing
up in the early 1900s. Many times he
recalled how things were during the
Great Depression.
Many called these the “good old days.”
The times may have been difficult for
many during the Depression, but it
was also a much simpler time. There
was not the technology that we have
today and life was not as rushed. I have
to say, sometimes it might be nice to
revisit some of those “good old days.”
So from the stories that my
grandfather told me I realize that we
overcame the depression and have
become the most prosperous nation in
the world — hence the other part of
our theme, “the Glory.”

LEOTA MCCORMICK
Colorful, creative and caring are three
words that describe our dear Lodi. Leota
McCormick is one of our most talented
residents who deeply enjoys the fine arts.
Her love for music and beautiful colors
have indeed enhanced our lives. She
sings like an angel and is in her glory
while sitting next to her daughter who
volunteers to play our baby grand piano.
Lodi was an active member of the church
choir as well as other musical events with
her family. Her appreciation for the arts
and her caring spirit decorates our world
with love.
IT’S OUR PLEASURE
TO SERVE YOU ...
Lodi paints an abstract acrylic masterpiece.

WELCOME BACK SNOWBIRD DOGS
After a long cold winter we are happy to welcome back our pet therapy family. These
amazing show dogs visit with us each month until winter time. We fondly refer to
them as our snowbird dogs as they fly south for the winter and return in the spring.
For the past five years, trainers Linda and Ron Moore have faithfully been bringing
their beautiful Shelties monthly to our community. We are ever so happy to welcome
them back as they bring so much joy to our residents.
Concierge extraordinaire!
THIS MONTH’S
chart hero
CARING, HONESTY,
APPRECIATION,
RESPECT, TEAMWORK
With 16 1/2 years of faithful
dedicated loving service, this
CHART award can only be
rightfully given to our wonderful
concierge, KANDI. When it
comes to first impressions, Kandi
is absolutely the best person to be
sitting behind the welcome desk to
meet and greet everyone who walks
through doors at Harbour Senior
Living. She began as our first hired
care attendant for Legacy Court
and original Lead in personal care.
She also has worked in the Dining
and Housekeeping departments
as well as Activities. She brings a
whole new meaning to the word
“multi-tasking.” Kandi’s name is a
perfect reflection of her personality
... sweeeeeeet! We are exceedingly
blessed to have her on staff for
these many years. She is the heart
and soul of Harbour and no one is
sweeter than Kandi!
