CHEESEBURGER IN PARROT-DISE SURPASSES GOAL
Thanks to everyone who helped make the 8th annual Cheeseburger in Parrot-dise a huge success! Guests at the event grooved to the tunes of the ToneZ, sampled unique cheeseburger creations from Hethwood Market, Holiday Inn Christiansburg Blacksburg and Red Robin and bid on one-of-a-kind items and experiences in our silent auction. Congratulations to Hethwood Market for re-claiming the title of Cheeseburger Throwdown Champion with their Southern Market Burger, grilled to perfection and topped with pimento cheese, aioli and fried pickles! Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, Molina Healthcare and all the other businesses who sponsored the event and donated items for our silent auction!
This year not only did we surpass our goal but we raised the most money since the event’s inception -- $34,000. Proceeds help the Warm Hearth Foundation carry out its many programs for seniors in need on our campus! We couldn’t be more grateful for the support of our donors, sponsors, volunteers and community – this wouldn’t have been possible without each one of you! We hope to see you again next year.

RESIDENT QI GONG PRESENTATION
Qi Gong is an ancient method for cultivating vital energy, boosting circulation and maintaining a healthy body inside and out. Warm Hearth’s dedicated qi gong students, led by fellow resident Val DePillo, performed a series of “Brocades” (8 Ba Duan Jin forms and 30 Shaolin movements and postures) for guests. It was quite a show of strength, balance and concentration.
Join our Body Activation class that mixes kundalini-inspired yoga, bar yoga, qi gong, and tai chi with general fitness movements every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 am. Must be a fitness center member to join.
