Top 5 Social Events of 2020
1. Low Country Boil
In September 2020, during ‘Under The Sea’ Week, Wellmore of Daniel Island hosted a Lowcountry Boil! These events have been bringing friends and families together for generations! Members enjoy a freshly prepared Lowcountry Boil complete with all of the fixins’ prepared by our incredible Executive Chef! Attendees to this fun event also had a few visitors during meal time – Mr. Shark and Ms. Lobster!
2. Coffee Stand
We love our Members and Staff a ‘Latte’! In August, Wellmore hosted a fun day of coffee and cheer! The Wellness Department collaborated with our Human Resources Director to bring a “Starbucks” inspired experience to our amazing Staff and Members! Our team members were greeted in the clubhouse by 3 baristas in green aprons, where the coffee was fresh and the pastries were sweet! Each pastry had a tag on it that said “We love you a latte!” After our team members were served that morning in the Clubhouse, we went door to door with a coffee cart to greet our Members with a morning coffee! Recently, when our Members have been coming to their 1:1 strength training sessions, we have heard them say how much they miss going to Starbucks on the island and getting a cup of coffee or a latte. We knew it was time to bring the Starbucks Coffee right to their door!!
3. Ocean Olympics
As we continued our ‘Under The Sea’ Week in September 2020, our activities and wellness team banded together for the Ocean Olympics! We started the morning with a warm-up/exercise routine for ‘synchronized swimming’. Our games throughout the day included a water balloon toss, seashell stacking, sea animal racing, and ocean trivia! We ended the day with ocean water, coral reef and wonderful prizes! This was the perfect activity for this day and our Members had a blast! So many smiling and happy faces all around!
4. Wellness Fun
Each day our Members participate in a variety of wellness classes designed to help them live a longer, healthier, happier life. We love seeing them dedicate time to their health and living The Weller Life!
5. Veterans Day
Our Veterans are so important to us at Wellmore and we wanted to honor them on Veterans Day! We welcomed guest speaker, Dr. Kenneth Vanek, a retired United States Air Force Lt. Colonel and a Vietnam era veteran who is listed in the “Who’s Who In America” and is nationally known in the field of Medical Physics. He did a wonderful job speaking to our Veterans and Claire ended the presentation with patriotic music as our members sang along. As a ‘throwback’ to honor the strength of our Veterans, our Members put their fitness to the test with a boot camp! To close out the day, we truly spoiled our Veterans with a steak lunch and drove them on a ‘mystery ride’ to beautiful Patriots Point – Home of the USS Yorktown and USS Laffey. We are so grateful for all of their incredible service to our country.
