Rose Tree Place Announces a Full Calendar of Events for Seniors

Media, Pa. – Rose Tree Place, a Watermark Retirement Community located in Media, announces the continuation of Fall 2019 Watermark University classes, as well as special events and excursions through December. All offerings are open to both residents and area seniors.

“We provide an escape from the chill in the air with our warm invite to attend engaging indoor activities at Rose Tree Place and organized trips throughout our region,” said Rose Tree Place Community Life Director Karen Holahan. “Research shows that continuous learning and activity can help keep the ‘Winter Blues’ away, providing an overall boost to our health and wellness.”

“Two highlights on our calendar are holiday-themed events with Quiver Farm, of Pennsburg. They should be memorable ways to celebrate both Thanksgiving and Christmas, because we cannot imagine anyone leaving without a good story and a laugh,” said Holahan. “The farm will bring a live turkey for its November presentation and other live animals in December to assist us with singing and acting out the ‘12 Days of Christmas.’ We look forward to the fun times ahead.”
