Welcome to Park Hills Crossing

Our Neighborhood

It sure has been a very busy and HOT August. We were able to experience some new places and do some FUN things this month. I hope all of you who participated in the clubhouse activities this month enjoyed them as much as I did putting them together.All that took advantage of the free Chair Massage from Ferguson Chiropractic said it was wonderful and they loved it!! If we have them in again don’t miss out.

We had a great time going to the Der Dutchman on Wednesday August 16. The buffet was wonderful and everyone enjoyed the food and most of all the company. We did some shopping at the Carlisle Gift Shop and brought home some special HUMMY treats. Thanks to all of you who helped drive that day. It was FUN.

On August 9 we had a fun evening of Pizza, salad and Horse Racing. It seems that the Jockeys are getting pretty sure of themselves.

We shared that evening with our C-4 group which was celebrating their 1 year anniversary. C-4 recognized one of our Residents for being so active in C-4 and in our Community. This person was referred to as our very own Mother Teresa. The very distinguished honor went to no other than our very own, Mary Rivera. Thanks Mary for all you do for everyone at PHC.
