It has been written that holiday traditions, such as Christmas and Hannukah celebrations, are deeply significant social customs. They are filled with meaning that engages not only the family but also friends within communities. Verandah has many such traditions that make it a special place to be.
What are some of these traditions? Let’s begin with The Visions of Sugar Plums which began nearly 20 years ago and today hundreds of Verandah residents volunteer and raise money to provide presents and meals for over 100 local children and their families every year.
Our annual Winter Festival where Verandah residents come together for an evening of fun, but the fun also includes a Toys for Tots donation drive. Our annual Holiday Tour of Homes is always a big hit with usually over 500 residents touring Verandah homes that are all decked out for the season. Not only do we enjoy getting decorating ideas, but we also know that the proceeds from the purchase of a ticket benefit nonprofits supported by Sew & Sews.
And what would Christmas be without Santa and caroling with The Swing Singers?
While this listing is not all- inclusive, the point is that these shared experiences are fun while at the same time provide an opportunity to give back, and they bring us together in so many positive ways.
