May 2025 at Ventura Townehouse
As we step into May, we celebrate the women who have shaped our lives—our mothers, grandmothers, mentors, and friends—with love and gratitude. Mother’s Day is a chance to honor their enduring care and strength, and we invite our residents and their families to join in a special brunch and champagne reception in their honor. This month also brings the promise of summer with vibrant festivities, outdoor gatherings, and meaningful moments shared in community. From Cinco de Mayo celebrations and spring concerts, to shopping days, scenic outings, and acts of kindness, May is blooming with connection, joy, and the spirit of togetherness.
