Residents participate in Bocce Ball, welcome a visit from Pat’s Treats ice-cream truck, gather in the Waterford Heritage Garden for July 4th festivities, and enjoy a summer buffet of grilled ribs, chicken, corn on the cob, s’mores, and more. The barbecue also included music and games.

Celebrate Friendship Day

Touchmark Health & Fitness Club Director Mark Minette shares his thoughts about Friendship Day (August 23).

“I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun.” -Charles R. Swindoll

“I feel like a very fortunate person. I can honestly say that I have more friends than I probably deserve. One of the greatest parts of my job at the club is to meet new people and to build relationships with them … and to ultimately call them friends!

“The other beautiful part of this job is to see others make friendships by being at the club. People who have similar goals become healthier and stronger together. They become friends and enjoy socializing outside of their time at the club.

“Socialization is an integral part of whole-person wellness and the {FULL} Life that we support at Touchmark. The community that has formed at the club amazes me! We are fortunate to have the staff, club members, residents, and guests who choose to spend parts of their days together. It is very heartwarming!”

Join us for a Friendship Open House Friday, August 23 from 10 - 11:30 am and 4:30 - 6 pm.

Healthy snacks and drinks, prize drawings, and giveaways will be part of the day, but the social time with Touchmark friends will be the primary focus!

You said it!

“I feel very much at home in my apartment at Touchmark. I’m impressed with the amenities of the community and feel very happy to be here!” -Rene Moen, Resident

Movements rooted in eternity “Thomas Svobada arrived at the nursing home in NE Portland when the cherry trees outside his window were bare. … Now the blossoms have peaked and on a warm spring afternoon they drift onto his shoulders as he sits outside in his wheelchair.”

– David Stabler, reporter, The Oregonian

Thomas is Oregon’s most prolific and performed composer. For the past seven months, he has been recovering from a debilitating stroke that affected his right side with

partial paralysis. It happened suddenly when he and his wife of nearly 50 years were preparing dinner. For weeks, his recovery was slow, but then he began improving, and he continues to make progress. And he continues to move people through his music.

Do any of us plan for this kind of an event? No one I have interviewed ever has. One of the lessons from this heart-wrenching and heartwarming story is that legacy and giving back are the essence of who and what we are—today and tomorrow. Thomas is known as a composer whose music is played around the world, a teacher to a generation of music students, a mentor to scores of composers, an amazing pianist, and a playful friend.

People move to Touchmark for many reasons. Most will tell you, though, that they wish they had moved here sooner. All appreciate the fullness of life and opportunities for living—and continuing to create—their legacy. Each person has a life story and talents to share, and overwhelmingly residents are optimistic and grateful for the options available at Touchmark.

To find out more about the possibilities of living a {FULL} Life and providing a personal legacy, contact a member of the Full Life team. As Robert Schuller said—and others repeat—“If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.”
