🌺🍽️ Celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month at Riverdale Senior Services! 🍽️🌺

Today from 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM, our Riverdale Senior Services community came together for a special dinner celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month.

Members enjoyed a delicious meal featuring teriyaki chicken, vegetable fried rice, Chinese broccoli, vegetable dumplings, and mochi ice cream, while sharing conversation, laughter, and fellowship with friends old and new.

Events like these give us an opportunity not only to enjoy great food, but also to honor the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of AANHPI communities. It was wonderful to see our dining room filled with smiling faces, meaningful connections, and a spirit of community.

A special thank you to our staff, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this celebration possible. Your dedication helps create experiences that bring people together and enrich the lives of older adults throughout our community.

Today, we pause to honor the men and women who gave everything in service to our country. Memorial Day is more than just the start of summer; it is a day of national reflection.

At RSS, we are profoundly grateful for the courage and selflessness of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms. We carry their stories in our hearts and strive to live lives worthy of their legacy.

We will never forget.

We were absolutely thrilled to host a special reception showcasing the incredible artwork of our talented RSS students!

Under the expert guidance of renowned Bronx artist and RSS instructor, Daniel Hauben, these students have spent much time honing their craft and expressing their unique visions. The exhibit was a beautiful testament to their hard work, growth, and vibrant creativity.

A huge thank you to Daniel for inspiring our community's artists, to the students for sharing their amazing talents with us, and to everyone who came out to celebrate their success! 🌟

There was a terrific turnout today for a cooking demonstration all about crafting DIY salad dressings!

Everyone got a major reality check on commercial dressings, which are so often packed with hidden sugars, extra sodium, and unnecessary preservatives and instead, learned how simple, healthy, and cost-effective it is to whip up fresh versions ourselves.

The best part? The results were absolutely delicious! 😋

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in the Event Room today to learn how to elevate our nutrition and our salads!

Happy Mother’s Day from the team at RSS! 🌸

Today we’re celebrating the mentors, the nurturers, and the superheroes we call Mom. We hope your day is filled with relaxation and appreciation. You’ve earned it!

Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸 We had such a wonderful time at our Mother’s Day Tea here at RSS.

It was a beautiful afternoon filled with warmth, laughter, and great company as we came together to celebrate all the incredible mothers and mother figures in our community. To show our appreciation, every guest was gifted a rose as a small token of our love and gratitude. 🌹

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event so special. You truly make our community bloom! ☕✨
