Gina Awad, founder of the alliance popped into Dove Tree House last week to deliver some of the calendars hot off the press – they look fantastic!

VJ Day Celebrations at The Manor
/in NewsResidents enjoyed a trip down memory lane for the VJ (Victory over Japan) Day Celebrations on the 15th August. They watched a video and played music from 1945. They also enjoyed a truth session, answering questions about how it may have affected them as children or young adults. A few of the residents admitted to having American boyfriends and other shared such funny stories, they all in hoots of laughter! A lovely tea was served and the dining room beautifully decorated for the occasion.
