Linda Case, a resident of SVWC, specializes in fanciful mixed media. After a career rooted in left-brain consulting, she is now focused full-time on designing and crafting worlds of fantasy and whimsy. What sets her work apart is that viewers can interpret it from their unique experiences, making each piece a personal journey. What a treat to behold! Linda's creations are also in the display cases across from the gift shop.

An opening reception for "Love Affair with Color" will be held on Saturday, September 6, from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. All are welcome to view the fun, colorful works any day between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. at 300 Westminster-Canterbury Dr.

SVWC's Music Therapist, Abigail D'Arcangelis, and Christine Ristano, Speech Therapist, will be hosting a support group for caregivers of individuals with any type of Dementia. The group meets on the first Thursday of each month from 11 a.m. - Noon on SVWC's campus. The public is invited to participate.

Started in 2020 as a first of its kind in our area, the Memory Café is a safe and comfortable space where care partners and their loved ones living with any type of dementia can gather to socialize, play games, and enjoy activities together. Experience community, laughter, and conversation with others navigating similar changes and make new memories together.

‍This is a FREE event hosted by SVWC, on the second Monday of each month. NOTE: The location has changed from previous years to The Espresso Bar and Cafe' in downtown Winchester. For additional details, contact Donielle Weatherholtz-Palmer at dpalmer@svwc.org.

Bistro Concert:  Robbie Limon Returns! 

Robbie Limon is back to play for the Bistro Concert on Friday, October 17.  This will be his 14^th Bistro Concert performance, his first being in 2009. Resident Bob Sherwood likes to boast that he helped Robbie build his early career and has worked with Robbie for almost 20 years. Limon is a near-legend in the Valley, and people say, "Once you hear him, you’ll want to hear him again.”  He plays the hit songs of the Sixties and Seventies - and his performance never varies.  When asked, “Aren’t you getting bored after all these years? Why play the same thing over and over?” Robbie’s simple reply: “Because they’re such great songs.”

If you have ever heard him, you know Robbie is right. However, if you have never heard him, don’t miss out this time - plan to attend. He has a large following and will likely draw another big audience. Last time he performed at the Bistro, more than 200 attended, so come early!

Admission is $10 at the door (cash only, please).  The concert begins at 7:30 pm.  The performance is open to the public.  Atlantic Union Bank sponsors the series. The venue is located at 300 Westminster-Canterbury Drive in Winchester. For information, call 540 665-0156.
