Kendal Resident celebrates 100 years young!

Kendal at Granville resident, Ruth G., turned 100 years old on June 16th and celebrated with numerous friends and family members. Ruth's sister, brother and sister-in-law also live at Kendal. Soon a niece and her husband will be moving to Kendal to join in the family fun. Ruth says her secret to a long life is to "just keep breathing." At 100 years old, Ruth's only medication is the occassional aspirin. She says she stayed young by being a school teacher for 38 years. Happy Birthday Ruth!

Three years and going strong...

Following Ruth's birthday celebration, the entire Kendal at Granville community gathered to celebrate the Third Anniversary of the dedication of the community. Residents, board members, staff and visiting family/friends enjoyed live music by the Tom Carroll Trio, a buffet dinner, carriage rides, garden tours and more. The annual event is always well attended and gives everyone an opportunity to reflect on the years Kendal has been operating. Photos of construction, ground breaking and ribbon cutting were also distributed throughout the community center for all to see. It's a fun-filled event and one we look forward to each year!

Right-sizing information still in demand...

On June 11th, Kendal at Granville held the 3rd annual Simply Your Life Fair and Seminar. Record attendance allowed for a highly successful event where guests and business members alike were able to benefit from the fair. Attendees came from all over Columbus to visit vendor booths and hear experts speak on a variety of topics that relate to downsizing their homes in preparation for a move. Some topics covered were: Downsizing clothing and accessories, The Benefit of Auction, and The Art of Packing. A Resident Panel also spoke on their experiences and took questions from the crowd about how they handled their moves. If interested in a downsizing packet provided by Kendal, please call (888) 607-6660.

Clouds and rain will not keep hikers away!

May 16th was cloudy and rainy, but hikers came to Kendal to brave the elements anyway! The ominous weather the day of the 2nd Kendal Trails Hike did not dampen the spirits of Residents, Priority List members, and guests. Most who had planned to attend showed up in their rain gear with umbrellas in hand to make the trek up the trails to visit the 2-acre pond and learn about trees and plants along the trail from our resident experts/tour guides. Everyone enjoyed the buffet breakfast following the early morning hike. Once again, this event proved to be so enjoyable that we will schedule more in the future.

Elderhostel Day of Discovery

New York Times crossword constructor, Ed Stein, visited Kendal for an Elderhostel Day of Discovery. Residents, Priority List members and Elderhostel members attended one of two day-long events that educated them on strategies and pointers for solving the most stubborn crosswords. Ed Stein was fascinating, entertaining and engaging and attendees were filled with even more appreciation of the bewildering word games.
