ON THE PINECONE COVER
Happy New Year! This year make it
point to log onto our website, Facebook
page or YouTube channel to see more
photos and aerial videos filmed using a
drone. Of course activities and events
will continue to be available to you in
print form, but just imagine being able
to direct family and friends miles away
to see more about Kirby Pines on the
world wide web. It will be possible to
view more photos than the Pinecone
can publish, or to learn interesting facts
about the city and museums we visit
each year, or to watch a video taken on
our 60 acre campus.
Speaking of our campus, many
construction projects will be completed
in 2017. Such as the new entrance off
of Kirby Parkway along with a guard-
house, video surveillance and closure
to the campus off of Kirby Road. The
renovation of the “I” building will
continue during 2017, and should
be fully completed by summer. New
residents began occupying the building
It’s A New Yeara t K i r b y P i n e s
the first of the year.
Also undergoing some changes is the
Bistro which opened in May of 2016.
This year look for changes to the menu
and service hours that better meet your
desires. In addition to the new and
improve Marketing suite completed in
2016, remodeling of Providence Place
should be completed in 2017, and the
Gallery Manor and Jobs Way are getting
an uplift as well.
Yes, 2017, will be a big year for Kirby
Pines. As we begin the NewYear, please
take time to remember those residents
and employees who made a difference
to the community but are no longer with
us. Happy New Year!

January is the time to regroup, refresh
and renew. The holiday season, though
wonderful, can also be quite taxing
on a person’s regular routine. With a
calendar full of parties, activities and
performances, we tend to over do it
and lose focus of the things that keep
us going.
With the new year, we can slow down
on all the festivities and speed up on
eating healthier, getting more exercise
and trying new things to revive our
minds, bodies and spirits.
Kirby Pines offers a multitude of classes
and activities that encourage physical,
social and mental health. So with the
new year, make a plan to take a walk on
our beautiful campus, join the Travelers
on one of their outings, sit in with the
Poetry Group, or even try your hand at
Bunco. The main thing is to stay active
and enjoy life!
Kirby Pines Focuses On Staying Fit and Healthy!

This month’s covers emphasize just
that; being healthy, active and having
fun! Jim and Janet Turner get out and
do a little stretching in the brisk air on
our front cover, while our back cover
features Carol Yount, Discovery Club
Member, Joyce Casada, and Connie
Oakes during one of Mary Hand’s water
aerobics classes in the Oasis!
