AEC Living Supports Girls Inc of the Island City

July 10, 2015/in AEC Living, In the Community/by Moira M

Last night we were honored to be recognized as a STRONG Partner of Girls Inc of the Island City. AEC Living supports our local community. Giving back and community participation are two of our core values, and giving back to our local youth is both an honor and a pleasure. The children of Alameda do so much for us: kindergartners entertain us with their songs, elementary and middle school students visit us to show off their musical style and reading skills, and local high school students work with residents to learn about the history of popular art and entertainment, it is our pleasure to support those organizations that work to support them.

Congratulations Lauren and Stephen!

Congratulations to our very own Lauren Zimmerman Cook (CEO) and Stephen Zimmerman (COO)! Last Friday, May 15th, they joined their classmates at the USC Davis School of Gerontology in graduation exercises as they BOTH received their M.A.s in Gerontology.

Not only did they both graduate with perfect scores, they made the USC News!

BINGO! for the Arts

April 14, 2015/in Elders Inn, In the Community, The Lodge/by Moira M

Last Thursday, AEC Living and Phoenix Commons were the proud sponsors of Boogie Woogie BINGO at Rythmix Cultural Works here in Alameda. A good time was had by all as we boogied to the banks and eagerly awaited the call of the next BINGO number, all in the name of “inspiring the community to engage in the arts and strengthen the value of creativity and discovery in everyday life.”

Lights…Camera…Action!

January 24, 2015/in AES Therapy & Fitness, Elders Inn, The Lodge/by Moira M

One of the many exciting changes coming up this year is the complete update and revision of our website. A cleaner layout with better colors is on its way! This means we are taking all new pictures (and even filming a couple of short videos!). The shooting is mostly done now, but if you stopped by for a visit this week you may have been able to witness first hand the fun that is working with a professional photography team.
