Arcadia Craft Fair

This week, Arcadia residents showcased their talents at the Arcadia Craft Fair. The fair was open to all residents and employees, and all profits were donated to Arcadia funds such as the Arcadia Memorial Irrevocable Trust, Arcadia Residents Association and others. The handmade items included etchings and lithographs, baked goods, bags, clothing, knitted beanies and lei, dish scrubbers, bobbin laced medallions, plants and more. Mahalo to all the vendors, volunteers and the Programs team for organizing the event!

Stained Glass Leaf

To celebrate fall, 15 Craigside residents crafted stained glass autumn leaves using tissue paper. They can hang the leaves on their window to let the light shine through or just use it as seasonal décor!

Good Mood Foods

As part of the 15 Craigside Core Values Campaign, residents and staff learned about foods that can boost your mood. They picked up dark chocolate, nuts and yogurt with berries and granola. All three of these snacks are known to give you a little boost of happiness and energy. What great midday snacks that won’t leave you feeling tired.
