Happy July 4th weekend! We hope you will be celebrating our nation's 245th birthday with friends and family; how far we have come since last summer! Noble is festooned with American flags and patriotic red, white, and blue decorations at every turn, providing the perfect backdrop for our 4th of July champagne social and BBQ.
While we remain cautious, life at Noble has returned to a more familiar cadence. The Country Store is hosting a re-opening sale, an art exhibit graces the gallery walls, and of course, Noble Administrator Bill Pond, the Wellness Director, the Director of Nursing, and other Noble team members look forward to welcoming you back to Noble for our Open House on July 11, 5:30-6:30 pm. You can join a resident for a cottage tour, visit the Cobble's hotel-style accommodations, view a short-term rehab and skilled nursing room, and explore our many amenities including delicious samplings from our talented culinary professionals. Reserve your spot now!
Final Reminder for Two Fabulous Concerts
Salisbury resident Audrey Silver's vibrant career as a critically acclaimed jazz singer keeps her tightly booked in New York City’s top clubs, but at 7 pm on July 9 you can see her perform at Noble Horizons, accompanied by her pianist and trombonist. Media reviews praise her "extraordinary artistry, velvet-laden timbre, and exquisite voice."
Two nights later you can thrill to a performance by local favorite, Michael Brown, who never fails to bring his grateful audiences to their feet! Picnic goers are welcome at 6:30 pm; you may bring your own blanket or chair or reserve a table for Audrey's concert or for Michael's concert here.
Should weather interfere, the bright and spacious Riga dining room, offering expansive views of the Berkshires, the fountain, and Noble ponds, will be the concert site. Per the Department of Health, guests in the dining room must be vaccinated and screened.
