Residents at Piedmont Senior Apartments enjoyed several interesting events recently:
The South Coast Air Quality Board invited Piedmont residents to attend a full day of environmental health workshops held at Cal State Northridge with lunch and transportation provided. Twenty-seven residents participated.
Two “Fresh & Easy Healthy Cooking Workshops with Aren” allowed twenty-three Piedmont residents to experience cooking simple recipes with techniques provided by a trained volunteer chef. “He taught us how to make vegetarian chili and it was really good! I’m going to start cooking healthy now,” shared a workshop attendee. Aren was a student intern who offered to return and work in EngAGE programs.
And Geezers, a film by Rubber Tree Productions was shot on location at
the apartment complex. Thirty Piedmont seniors acted and appeared in this up-and-coming feature film. All were abuzz and proud to be part of the production. “Can you believe the movie bug bit me at 80!” said Victoria, an excited resident.
