Do we think about the words we use? Consider these contradictions:

Assistant supervisor   new tradition   original copy   plastic glass

Uninvited guest   highly depressed   live recording   partial cease-fire  

Authentic reproduction   limited lifetime guarantee   elevated subway

Dry lake   true replica   forward lateral   standard options

Did they really say that? "Your food stamps will be stopped effective March 2020 because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may reapply if there is a change in your circumstances."

This is not new at Valley View, but rather a treasured tradition! The Men’s Pancake Breakfast wrapped up another year of great gatherings. They will start up again in the fall, making and serving a homemade breakfast once monthly for all members to enjoy. Great bunch of guys, and they can cook!

The annual Bar Contest was a hit again this year . . .

Mary N. placed first, Diane J. second and Jane D. third. E.P. Police, Fire Dept and City Manager came.

Valley View Cooperative is all dressed up for Christmas. Inside our lobby we have wonderful displays. A resident donated all of the ceramic pieces and the detail on them is amazing!

We hope you enjoy viewing a few of the many beautiful Christmas decorations that the Residents at Valley View Senior Cooperative enjoy sharing with all in our home.

On May 17th of 2024, from 10AM - 2 PM, Valley View Cooperative held a very successful open house for those that registered to attend.

In all, over 100 guests were present with many signing up to be notified of potential openings in the future. The atmosphere was very well organized and upbeat!

Guests had pre-registered for tours according to time slots which afforded small tours in groups of 6-8 visitors for a relaxed visit as they were guided throughout the building, touring the floorplans and amenities that Valley View Senior Cooperative has to offer.

We are a very welcoming community with much to offer for the Independent 55+ year old looking for the benefits of home ownership and independence.

After each tour guests were provided the opportunity to inquire for more information and ask specifics regarding becoming members by Valley View Office Staff and qualified residents in private discussions.

Thank you to ALL who volunteered and participated to make the event successful!

And, the post-tour food was excellent too!

Since we no longer have an in-house piano tuner, it was decided we should remove the “real” pianos and purchase a digital piano. A research team was set up and a Kawai digital piano was purchased. A couple of weeks ago a concert was given by four resident pianists. Each played two pieces, showing the different sounds available on the instrument, to the delight of the audience. Cake and ice cream was served following the recital.

Here are a few photos of those who played pieces for everyone to enjoy.
