Stand in Integrity: July Events


July is the month in which we celebrate our nation’s independence with fireworks, cook outs and by cherishing our own personal freedoms. Nelson Mandela reminds us “to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” In that spirit join us as we honor those who “Stand in Integrity.”

Dr. Barbara Killinger, PhD, offers this definition of integrity: “Integrity is a personal choice, an uncompromising and predictably consistent commitment to honor moral, ethical, spiritual and artistic values and principles.” To “Stand in Integrity” does not mean that you are flawless or perfect, it means that you admit your shortcomings; you have influence, not because people like you, but because people trust you, believe you, and follow you.

We will also celebrate this month’s Alive in All Seasons theme of Volunteerism by volunteering our time to others, honoring those who volunteer with us, including our Resident Ambassadors; and learning more about volunteer opportunities in the greater community.


Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our 4th of July BBQ featuring saucy meats with scrumptious sides and a festive atmosphere on July 4th at noon ($5 for guests, RSVP to 412-244-9901); our special 4th of July Musical Performance by local entertainer Jean Horner (free for guests, RSVP to 412-244-9901) on July 4th at 3:00 pm; our Monthly Caregiver Support Group for support and education in conjunction with the Alzheimer’s Association on July 9th at 1:30 pm; our Italian Day Dinner featuring delicious, authentic foods and decorations on July 14th at 4:30 pm; our Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon where we invite all of you who have volunteered with us to enjoy a tasty meal with a hearty side of gratitude on July 17th at noon; or our Diabetes Support Group Meeting for education and management tips on July 22nd at 1:30 pm. Take a look at our calendar and join us for any and all activities that will help you make the most of these last few weeks of summer.
