Grand Opening at Timber Ridge at Talus
The residents have been moving in for a few months, now it was time for a Grand Opening Celebration. On the evening of August 21, residents and guests and also those of us in the Chamber of Commerce gathered for the event. We have watch this facility being constructed but had never been inside. It is very impressive. Like the brochure says - “A remarkable setting, a remarkable lifestyle”, Timber Ridge sets senior living apart from any other of its kind.

Afterward everyone celebrated with tasty tibits served in many locations.
Among the amenities Timber Ridge residents enjoy are a cocktail lounge, dining room, beauty shop, art studio, business center, fitness center, library, post office, small market and cafe. I enjoyed watching the comaraderie and friendship between them. Many of them volunteered to be at these different posts to show guests, like me, around and answer questions. All the residents I talked to, in particular the ones who signed up before it was built, expressed great satisfaction with their new living arrangements.
Shirley Jordan was one who showed me around the library. All the books are from the residents.
