MAY 2020

Newton Presbyterian Manor announces Art is Ageless® winners Newton Presbyterian Manor is hosting a virtual exhibit for the 2020 Art is Ageless® juried competition. Artwork went up in the main building for assisted living residents and staff to enjoy, but a virtual tour of the pieces is available on the Newton Presbyterian Manor Facebook page.

Residents Larry and Rosie Thompson

Resident spotlight: Getting to know the Thompsons In this crazy coronavirus world we find ourselves living in, it’s hard enough just staying in touch with old friends, but meeting—and getting to know—new ones is especially hard. To help, we’d like to take the opportunity to introduce you to two of our newest residents, Larry and Rosie Thompson, who moved into Broadway Apartments at the beginning of February with the help of their daughter, Angela, son-in-law and a little local manpower. “Just as we pulled in (with the U-Haul), one of our daughter’s friends and her four kids met us down there and started unloading,” said Larry. “In less than an hour they had it completely unloaded. It was like ants moving—a stream of them following the leader.” THOMPSONS - continued on page 2

“We are honored to exhibit artwork by seniors, even at a time when we aren’t able to celebrate the exhibit in person,” said Noelle Dickinson, marketing director. “Art is Ageless is unique in featuring only the works of artists age 65 and older. Our artists prove that art, in any form, is an ageless ambition, and we hope that it inspires others to master a craft or start a new adventure in creativity, whatever their age.” Winners in the Newton Presbyterian Manor Art is Ageless juried competition were: People’s Choice: Nancy Lewis, Newton, “Fishing Buddies” (quilt) Christmas: Rosie Goering, North Newton, “Home for Christmas” (painting) Drawing (amateur): Walter S.
