Shake, rattle and roll at the sock hop! Residential living residents from our community gathered together with residential living residents at The Village at Utz Terrace for a sock hop to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association. From the old-fashioned decorations and records, to the coke floats, the Terrace Overlook Restaurant was completely transformed for this 1950s event.
After a delicious dinner of burgers, hot dogs, fries, onion rings and sodas, residents hit the dance floor dressed in their best 1950s outfits! Residents were entered into a drawing for the "best dressed" and many prizes were awarded to sock hop attendees. What a fun night of dancing, classic tunes and yummy eats! Kudos to the Life Enrichment team for orchestrating this fun event. It was a blast!

A trip to the York County Resource Recovery Center! Residential living residents at The Village at Shrewsbury recently embarked on an informative trip to the York County Resource Recovery Center.

It was an illuminating trip for residents, who learned how the facility uses O’Connor Rotary Combustion technology to convert municipal solid waste into a smaller volume of ash and produce enough electricity to power more than 20,000 homes!
