Past & Upcoming Events

Hello!

Since we haven't posted for awhile, let me update you on what's been going on at Aspen Leaf over the last few months!

During the month of August, we had most of our new residents move in, so we held an ice cream social in August for people to get to know one another.

During the month of September, we had a trivia contest on our Facebook page to honor Apple Appreciation month (and just have a ton of fun). Thank you to all those who participated! We also had a "Meet Your Neighbors" event where we served apple pie! Yummy!

Now that it's October, we are hosting an event today for people to paint and decorate pumpkins!

For those of you who missed out, please join us for our upcoming events! In November, we will have a food drive for local Flagstaff families up until the weekend before Thanksgiving. We will also have a thank you wall and ask residents to share what they are most grateful for. Each donated food item will count towards an entry into a drawing to win a $25 gift card! In addition, if a resident participates in our thank you wall, they will also be entered into this same contest.

Do you have an idea for an event at Aspen Leaf? Please share your ideas with us!

I speak fluently in movie quotes

July's resident popcorn guessing competition is over and a winner has emerged!

Congrats to Ashley, who guessed 270 popcorn puffs!  (There were 268, impressive!) 

Leslie and Ashely celebrating the victory!

Ashley won 2 tickets to Harkins Theatre!  We hope you pick out a good movie and eat some popcorn!

Can you name these movies? 

Let them eat cake!

July 19th is National Raspberry Cake Day! 

I don't know who created this holiday, or how it got started, but I"m not complaining.  It's raspberry cake day, people. Cake. Need I say more?

Cake.

I wish I could type more, but I am off to get some cake....I suggest you do the same!

From Aspen Leaf Apartments:  Happy Raspberry Cake Day!

Give me a fork and walk away....

Hey, I just met you...

and this is CRAZY, but here's my Facebook, so like me maybe!

Happy Father's Day!

Did you know...

The idea of Father's Day was conceived slightly more than a century ago by Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Wash., while she listened to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart, a widowed Civil War veteran who was left to raise his six children on a farm. A day in June was chosen for the first Father's Day celebration June 17, 1910, proclaimed by Spokane's mayor because it was the month of Smart's birth. The first presidential proclamation honoring fathers was issued in 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson designated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Father's Day has been celebrated annually since 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed the public law that made it permanent. 

Fun Fact: There are 70.1 million: Estimated number of fathers across the nation.

Happy Father's Day from Aspen Leaf!

 

Meet Alexa

Hi Aspen Leaf Residents! This is silly me, Alexa! I am a new leasing specialist at Aspen Leaf Apartments. When I'm not rocking my MEB colors, you'll find me fashioning a wetsuit, as I love to scuba dive. I am working at a couple of MEB properties this summer, but you will see me more and more as August approaches. Feel free to stop by the office and introduce yourself. Have a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend!
