Pelican Landing's Holiday Masquerade Ball
Recently, Pelican Landing Assisted Living and Memory Care transformed into a winter wonderland, hosting an elegant Holiday Masquerade Ball aimed at supporting Wreaths Across America. This enchanting evening brought together residents, associates, families, and friends in a celebration of community and remembrance.
Guests were greeted by a breathtaking red carpet entrance illuminated with twinkling lights, setting the tone for an unforgettable night. The hallways were adorned with splendidly decorated Christmas trees and festive decorations, enhancing the spirit of the holiday season. One resident joyfully remarked, "I feel like I am at the Ritz-Carlton!" embodying the magical ambiance of the evening.
As attendees mingled, they enjoyed complimentary beverages and delicious hors d'oeuvres while relishing the soothing tunes performed by live musician Fred Cavese. Every aspect of the celebration, from the detailed garlands and table settings to a delightful visit from Santa Claus himself, contributed to the event's warmth and cheer. Chef Manny treated guests to a beautifully plated culinary experience, ensuring that the night was a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
A highlight of the evening was the raffle of holiday wreaths, the proceeds of which would benefit Wreaths Across America, a non-profit organization that places wreaths on the headstones of fallen heroes across the country. This initiative serves as a poignant reminder that no service member should be forgotten. In 2024, over three million sponsored veterans' wreaths were laid at military cemeteries, thanks to the support of more than 4,900 participating locations and an army of four million volunteers.
James Brassard, the Executive Director, stated, "Our team is dedicated to serving our seniors with honor by providing exceptional experiences and care. Aligning this event with Wreaths Across America amplifies the importance of honoring the millions of military heroes who rest in honored glory."
Community involvement was a critical theme of the event, showcasing Watercrest Senior Living Group's commitment to making a positive impact in their local areas. Through their "Common Unity" initiative, the Watercrest team works collaboratively to fulfill community needs and engage residents in meaningful activities.

The evening not only celebrated the joy of the holiday season but also emphasized the importance of giving back, proving that even in a festive atmosphere, profound causes can thrive. Pelican Landing continues to be a beacon of hope and joy for its residents, providing a joyful and fulfilling experience as they celebrate significant moments together.
