Guests, Independent and Assisted Living residents of 10 Wilmington Place enjoyed the sounds of The Kettering Civic Band as they performed an outdoor concert on Wednesday, May 16^th.   The evening was perfect, and over 150 people were in attendance for this free event on our beautiful campus.  Everyone enjoyed ice cream sundaes, good music and a great time was had by all!  

10 Wilmington Place’s Executive Chef Keith Davis CEC, AAC was recently awarded a Presidential Medallion by the American Culinary Federation, Inc. (ACF) at the 2012 Northeast Regional Conference held in Niagara Falls. 

ACF Presidential Medallions are awarded to ACF members who exemplify culinary excellence and leadership and who have contributed their knowledge, skills and expertise to the advancement of the culinary profession.  Chef Davis CEC, AAC won his first medallion in 2002.

The medallion was presented to Chef Davis CEC, AAC by ACF National President Michael Ty, CEC, AAC.  Chef Davis has been the Executive Chef at 10 Wilmington Place Retirement Community for the past 14 years and receives high praise for his talent from residents and staff. 

A special ceremony was held to honor the commitment of volunteers to our community. 

Volunteers are the core of our community.  They help out with behind the scenes tasks, promote leadership, provide music and laughter, create fellowship and most of all sit quietly and listen when someone needs to talk.

Many of our volunteers say they receive great satisfaction and have met more people by getting involved and they hope to inspire others to volunteer by saying, "Yes I can, and so can you!"

Thank you for all you do!
