May at Devonshire

May will bring some new activities.

Joey Vincent, who has entertained for years throughout the United States, Canada, England and Russia, will be doing a concert for the first time in a year and half due to Covid. He is an all round entertainer offering music, comedy and all around good fun. This will be an outdoor concert with everyone bringing lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the nice weather and our spacious lawn.

Residents are planning a trip to the Allentown "Pines Dinner Theatre" to see "Under the Boardwalk." Good food and lots of music. In addition each month there is a lunch outing and the trip to lunch this month is to "Madelines." Last month several residents enjoyed lunch at B.J.'s ale house.

Weekly there is Yoga night and Movie night.

Memorial Day for many Americans conjures up images of hamburgers, hot dogs, swimming pools and summertime. But the last Monday in May serves, most importantly, as a time to honor those who died while fighting in the U.S. armed Forces. It's a holiday steeped in somber American history and tradition. The day actually began as "Decoration Day", following the Civil War, when mourners placed flowers on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers. Yes, Memorial Day has also come to signify the "unofficial" start of summer , but let's remember the heroes who made it all possible.
