News from Olivera: Holiday Art + Celebration

Paint N Sip

Residents at Olivera Senior Apartments in Pomona, CA, learned to paint a hanging ornament during the popular Paint N Sip Class under the guidance of EngAGE Program Director Meloney. Wine and snacks were served as residents drew, painted, and customized their artwork. For an extra sparkle, many embellished their finished works with glitter! Residents were in the spirit of giving, and were excited to gift their artwork to friends and family this holiday season.

Holiday Party

Residents had a great time at the holiday party! They loved taking pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus. FPI Management helped cater a delicious meal and EngAGE provided a DJ and games with small prizes. There is always such a nice sense of community at the holiday events. A few residents cooked desserts as sweet treats for the buffet-style dinner. When 9 p.m. came, no one wanted to leave!

Research demonstrates that participating in arts activities improves the health and quality of life of older people.
