September 2026 - On The Horizons
Celebrating Community, Looking Ahead
The month of August at Noble Horizons was a vibrant tapestry of community spirit, woven together through a series of engaging fundraising activities. The Noble Auxiliary Tag Sale (pictured above) attracted a record number of shoppers, all eager to contribute to initiatives that enhance the lives of our cherished residents. The enchanting melodies shared by Lisa Pelligrino by the pond created a warm atmosphere, fostering connections among residents, families, and supporters alike. Our inaugural Paint & Sip event, led by the talented local artist Holly Aragi, not only showcased creativity but also raised vital funds for the Alzheimer's Association and its important mission. As we look ahead to September, we invite everyone to continue this momentum, with exciting events designed to uplift and support our senior community. Please take a look below at all of our programs and events that are open to the public and register for those you wish to attend. Together, we can ensure that Noble Horizons remains a nurturing environment where holistic wellness thrives, and everyone feels valued and engaged. We look forward to sharing our community with you!

In MAN ONE, the monoprint technique is joined by silkscreen and woodcut printing, in an ink fest unlike anything else. JEAN dives deep into HUMANS as her subject.
