We’re halfway through June, and we’ve already been having an action packed month. With a list of fun, engaging, and enlightening events, there have been plenty of opportunities to find enrichment in senior living here at Deupree House. We kicked off the new opera season, put brush to canvas to recreate some of the best works of Dutch master Vincent Van Gogh for the upcoming Episcopal Retirement Homes Gala, and started a new mission endeavor. But there are still more events and excursions to come.

Here’s a look at the highlights of what’s on the horizon in June.

Monday, June 17

Come join us in the Event Center to hear this talented “One Man Band.” Jim McBride plays some of the greatest jazz hits from the Great American Songbook on the saxophone, flute, Celtic tin whistle, and piano. All by himself! You don’t want to miss this!

1PM: Learning iPods, iPads, and iPhones with Dr. Giesel

Lifelong learning opportunities enrich senior living at Deupree. This week our class in the Conference Room will be learning how to use phones to text and take pictures as well as how to email and transfer files to a desktop or laptop computer from all devices.

Friday, June 21

6:15PM: bus to Shakespeare Company Theater

We’ll be taking in performance by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company this evening. The very talented actors and actresses of the Company perform all of the classics, the greats, and all of the works you rarely get a chance to see.
This evening’s entertainment will be the Company’s fast-paced and farcical retelling of The Hound of the Baskervilles where the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson are on the job to investigate the mysterious case of the “hound of hell” that stalks the moors. This adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic novel is performed by only three actors who tackle all of the story’s many roles. Physical humor and visual gags will make this production a laugh out loud treat this summer.
Ticket pricing is detailed in the Activities book.

1PM: Learning iPods, iPads, and iPhones with Dr. Giesel
