Celebrating the Roaring 20s
September 2015
As the 1920s roared along, according to ushistory.org, many
young women of age proudly entered the political world with
the right to vote; and with this new right and independence,
they wanted to have fun. Thus, flappers became popular. Short
hair, smoking, shorter skirts, higher heels, and heavier makeup
was the Flapper image of the 20s. Using faux pearls/jewels,
feathers, headpieces, and smiles, Pleasant Valley residents and
staff enjoyed a 1920s themed party and crafts!
About Us –

wooded area just off Rodney Parham Road. As you will soon see, we

Observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions
and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the
late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day also symbolizes the
end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, parades and
athletic events.

National
Grandparent’s Day
It is only right and fitting that one day
of the year is set aside to honor our
grandparents. It is time to celebrate
those special people who are always
there with a hug, a kiss, a cookie,
something special, or take us
somewhere.
National Grandparent's Day
originated in 1978. Then President
Jimmy Carter declared it to be the
first Sunday after Labor Day. This
year, September 13th is National
Grandparent’s Day!
If you can, enjoy the day with them.
That is the greatest gift they can
receive from you.
