Join us as we explore the lively and enriching experiences that our residents enjoy every day.
At Clark Retirement, we take pride in making our community a beautiful and lively place for our residents. This spring, our residents have been actively engaging in gardening, turning our campus into a vibrant oasis. From raised-bed gardens to pots on patios, every space is a chance to nurture nature. Our gardens are not just about flowers; they’re about fostering a habitat for pollinators like bees and butterflies. Even a small pot on your patio can make a big difference!
Spring at Keller Lake is a season of renewal, highlighted by the delightful arrival of a new swan family. As the swans glide across the lake with their young, our residents find joy and tranquility in watching these elegant creatures. This time of year reminds us all of the beauty of new beginnings and the simple pleasures that nature offers, right here at Clark.
Democracy thrives at Clark Retirement! Our recent Resident Council elections were a testament to our vibrant community spirit, complete with a recount to ensure every voice was heard. Congratulations to the elected members who will be serving on the council. These elections underscore our commitment to an active and engaged community where every resident has a say.
Adventure awaits with Clark’s new bus! Equipped to accommodate everyone comfortably, including space for motorized wheelchairs, the bus has already hosted tours around notable local sites. Join us on our next outing to explore the rich history and beautiful scenery our area offers, all from the comfort of our state-of-the-art vehicle.
Popcorn isn’t just a snack; it’s a piece of history! Our residents enjoyed a special session with Chef Kyle, exploring the evolution of popcorn, particularly its prominence in movie theaters during sugar shortages in WWII. This delicious dive into history was accompanied by tastings of unique flavors like mint chocolate and pina colada.
