[September 24, 2015]  LINCOLN - On Saturday afternoon, the residents and of Timber Creek Village were joined by friends and family in celebrating the one-year anniversary of the new assisted living facility.

It was a great day with indoor and outdoor activities that were fun and entertaining for everyone. According to facility manager Georgina Binzen, she surveyed the residents asking them how they would like to celebrate the occasion. Their response was that they wanted to hold an intimate family-style gathering, so that is what they did.

Friends and family were invited to come to the village starting at 2 p.m. While there they had the opportunity to visit with residents, get better acquainted with the staff, and enjoy the atmosphere of the village.

There were some light activities planned that were enjoyed by everyone. Binzen happily allowed herself to be the brunt of everyone’s fun as she stood outside daring residents and guests alike to throw a whipped cream pie right in her face. The event was hugely popular with a lot of the kids in attendance. A couple of staff members also took the opportunity to smack the boss around in a good-natured way with a face full of pie!

Another popular activity was the cake walk, which drew participation from several of the residents, who were rewarded with wins of some really tasty looking sweets.

Of course, no celebration is complete without food, and there was plenty of it on Saturday afternoon. Grilled hamburgers and hot dogs were served, cooked by the staff of Timber Creek, and a dessert of cupcakes was also offered.
