Opened in 1986, Butterfield Trail Village is a locally governed 501(c)(3) non-profit retirement community. As Northwest Arkansas’ only comprehensive Life Plan Retirement Community, BTV offers active older adults worry-free living that is secure, independent and fulfilling – and the freedom to enjoy plentiful activities both inside and outside the Village.

We’ve reached that time of year when the Butterfield campus is in its glory and everyone appreciates getting outdoors before the real heat of summer sets in. Our Village is lucky to have such a verdant campus, lined by the stately oaks that run the length of our Joyce Boulevard border. Those huge trees continuously remind me of the residents who make up our community – they have seen so much in the Northwest Arkansas region come and go, weathered generations of change, and continue to remain rooted and appreciated.

Our goal with Butterfield LIFE Magazine is to celebrate our residents and staff, embrace and promote the community surrounding our campus, all while demonstrating the vitality and contributions of senior adults. We hope our readers enjoy and feel inspired by the stories we present, and we are always open to hear your ideas for future topics.

In this issue’s cover story, you will learn about Otto and Betty Loewer, an interesting, multi-talented, fun-loving couple who moved to Butterfield in late 2019. They have kindly allowed us to also show you around their beautiful Village Home, filled with tasteful art and many personal touches. Our staff profile deservedly highlights a very familiar face to all who regularly pass through the front entrance of the Commons, receptionist Kelly Goff. And, we are pleased to introduce Patty Goyette, a BTV newcomer with a warm, engaging personality and great sense of humor.

We are proud to share details about a valuable partnership between Butterfield’s on-campus physical, occupational and speech therapy program and the Department of Well-Being that is responsible for our many physical and emotional health offerings. Also on the topic of health, look for three nutritious and flavor-packed recipes that are perfect for summer.

Don’t miss reading all about award-winning TheatreSquared’s upcoming 2023-2024 season shows, one of which Butterfield is very pleased to sponsor – as well as the latest world class performances we can anticipate at the Walton Arts Center.

Many thanks to all who join us in supporting the mission and good life at BTV,

Quintin Trammell Chief Executive Officer
