On Friday, August 26th Rockhaven celebrated our 50th Anniversary at our annual picnic.\u00a0 We had the usual delicious food: chicken, ribs, hot dogs, brats and burgers grilled by Carl.\u00a0 The side dishes were provided by guests.\u00a0 This year we also had a decorated cake that matched our invitation.\u00a0 Unlike last year, the weather was comfortable, and it only rained before the party.

\n

For the celebration, Mel Johnson, a past president of the Rockhaven Board and current resident gave us some history of how Rockhaven got its start.\u00a0 Barbara Entress, also a resident and the Administrator here for over half Rockhaven\u2019s existence, added some more interesting bits of history.

The Travelers volunteers scraped and washed 10 bulkheads, cleaned out 5 garages, helped a resident with storm windows on her porch, vacuumed a basement and cleaned streetlights on the property.

This past Thursday, August 2 was my first Annual Rockhaven Picnic. Since we knew it was going to rain, we decided to have it in one of our 4 car garages. We appreciated the occupants letting us use their space for the day. It was a great day even with the occasional down pours, and everyone had fun. Carl manned the grill and no one went hungry. Residents brought sides and desserts and Rockhaven provided the rest. We even invited some of our contractors to join us. I think we had about 35 guests!

Across the nation, teams of volunteers fan out to fix up, dress up, and shore up hundreds of non-profits as a community service. This year, a team of 16 workers from United Health Care, came with a smile to paint fences, railings, curbs; to wash windows and garages; vacuum basements, and remove air conditioners. We couldn’t believe what an attitude of helping that they expressed! They did about two weeks of work in just 5 hours! Thanks to the whole gang that did so much for Rockhaven. We’re very grateful!

Rockhaven Residents celebrated the coming spring (although it seems to be here already by the weather) on March 9. They gathered in the Admin House living room and enjoyed pot luck appetizers and desserts. The room was decorated with extra large mobile flowers and butterflies hanging from the overhead beams, along with 60 daffodil and 40 tulip stems placed throughout the room.
