Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at Cottonwood Place

2017 was a fabulous year for Cottonwood Place Senior Living and its residents and families, and for our great City of Holladay. The New Year will soon be rolling around. Here's our "Best of 2017" and how we guarantee to provide opportunities for our residents to live a life of purpose, no matter the age or the limitation!

Here's our Best of 2017 list - read more below:

Gifted Music School Benefit Concert

Last March, with the support of Holladay Mayor Rob Dahle welcoming the crowd, we hosted 40 talented students from the Gifted Music School in Salt Lake City who performed a glorious benefit concert in our grand entry hall. Great music is part of our Vibrant Life at Cottonwood Place. We encourage your ongoing support of these talented young people. Juilliard is not cheap!

Cottonwood High School Scholarship

In June our residents came together with some smart young seniors from Cottonwood High School to contribute to their scholarships. We can make one guarantee and that is that we will provide opportunities for our residents, regardless the age, to live a Vibrant life of purpose. This was just one of those occasions.

Blue v Red Holy Wars Chili Cook Off - Police v Firefighters

In September, the Holladay Police and Fire Departments came for a fun Chili Cook Off. It was sooo close, but the Fire Department's HOT chili won by just a hair! We love these courageous people who are there for us when we experience an emergency. We especially appreciate them taking off work to be with us to be part of our Vibrant Life experience.

Mr. C Scholarship for Achievement in Academic and Vocal Performance

In December, we helped establish a scholarship fund in the name of one of our Cottonwood Place Senior Living residents, Paul G. Christensen (a/k/a "Mr C").

The gathering was filled with the Madrigal students from Highland High School who performed, along with Mr. C's alumni, family and friends and several media outlets - Fox 13, Channel 2 and the Salt Lake Tribune. State Senator Jani Iwamoto was one of the alumni that attended. While a member of the County Council, she gave him a street sign called "Mr. C Blvd." It hangs on his Cottonwood Place apartment door.

Here is the article that appeared on the front page of the Tribune.

We encourage your generous support of this scholarship. Checks can be made to “Salt Lake Education Foundation.” Write “Mr. C Scholarship” on the memo line, and mail to Mr. C Scholarship, c/o Salt Lake Education Foundation, 440 East 100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111.
