Nothing brings people together quite like a swirl of bright color and a shared purpose.

Earlier this month, our courtyard became a rainbow workshop as residents twisted, dipped, and revealed one-of-a-kind tie-dye shirts. Purple fingers flashed proud thumbs-ups, and each finished tee felt like a small flag of joy.

Those wearable works of art make their public debut at our Craft Fair Fundraiser this Friday, June 21, 10 AM–3 PM at Gardens on Quail in Arvada.

Stroll through the fair to browse local jewelry, woodwork, soaps, art prints, baked goods—and the residents’ vibrant tie-dye creations.

All proceeds support our Forget Me Knot Family Walk to End Alzheimer’s team, aiming to raise $30k for research and caregiver programs.

If you can’t make it in person, you’re welcome to cheer us on or donate online https://act.alz.org/site/TR/Walk2025/CO-Colorado?team_id=951161&pg=team&fr_id=18473.

We hope you’ll drop by, enjoy the color, and add your footsteps—or brushstrokes—to the effort. 💜
