    Friday Fun – Taking something large and making it small

    NateTheTech

    I spent some time with a friend of mine. His name is Fred.

    He’s been working on a project for a little while and I asked him if I could snap some photos.

    Can you figure it out?

    Fall Festival is fast approaching! One of my daughter’s favorite parts of Fall Festival is petting the animals (trying not to get sheep fur on her lollipop).

    Yesterday, Thursday August 12, Messiah Village held a groundbreaking to commemorate the beginning of a $3.5 million building project that will create a new and more accessible chapel entrance and will expand the living space of the Special Care Nursing Neighborhood that cares for residents with dementia.

    I have never been through the process of such a large building project and had no idea how much work goes into a project like this. As the Gift Development Assisted I helped the Development Office raise money for this project. The support and participation of Messiah Village staff, family of residents and friends was amazing. I’ve learned so much from my co-workers, the committee members and our wonderful co-chairs, John Morefield and Dorothy Gish. I admire their hard work and perseverance.

    I’m looking forward to the next phase of the project. This has been a fun learning experience  and I can’t wait to see what is next!

    Friday Fun – Upgrade!!!

    NateTheTech

    Our awesome Grounds Team was working and sweating doing a much needed landscaping renovation in our Fountain Courtyard this week. They don’t like having their pictures taken that much, but they are proud of the work that they did. So we snapped a few pics that we’d like to share.

    I think that the Grounds Team did an awesome job!  A big shout out to Caleb, Tony, Bob, Ryan, Jason, Zach, Glen, and Cody.

    Great job guys!!!

    Recently, we had a Pig Roast to celebrate Father’s Day. But sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. How would you caption this photo?

    Friday Fun – Garden Wandering

    NateTheTech

    I was out taking pictures the other day for an upcoming article in Village Life and I happened upon the most peaceful deer I had ever seen. I asked the deer if i could take a picture with him. He said yes.

    If we used this picture in Village Life, how would you caption it???

    This deer hangs around the gardens quite a bit. Have you seen him? Have you ever had you picture taken with this deer?

    Friday Fun – Blast from the past

    NateTheTech

    If you didn’t know that Messiah Village hasn’t always been located in Mechanicsburg, PA. We used to be located in downtown Harrisburg, PA. Well back in 1978 after transforming part of 80+acres of land into a burgeoning community, we moved from Paxton Street to Mt. Allen Drive.

    Here’s a picture of us moving in to the new Messiah Village.

    Friday Fun – Video Fun with Volunteers

    NateTheTech

    Just a few short weeks back, Messiah Village held a big celebration to honor all our volunteers. Some of our employees composed a little ditty and sang it to all our volunteers.  Live…in person…with gobs of people watching. Nothing to be nervous about at all… Except the dreaded video camera that caught the whole thing…

    We have a wee bit of construction going on here at the Village today. So I need a bit of help captioning these photos:

    What do you think the caption is?

    Friday Fun – Caption This

    KellyTheWebGal

    Do you have all your ducks in a row? Messiah Village has made some new feathered friends. Residents and staff have enjoyed watching them hatch and grow over the past couple months.

    What do you think the caption should say for this photo?
