Audrey never failed to brighten someone’s day and leave them with a smile. That makes the new fountain all the more meaningful. Dick shared that he and Audrey hosted several cocktail parties when they first arrived. Audrey always wanted a final cocktail party. At the dedication, that wish came true. This fountain will continue Audrey’s legacy. For years to come, this fountain will brighten the lives of countless people and will bring smiles to all who pass by, just as Audrey did. Dick’s support of the Vicar’s Landing Foundation enhances the community and supports the mission.

The gift of music is something that is always appreciated at Vicar’s Landing retirement community, but resident Ruth Conley took it to a whole new level. She made an extraordinary gift of her Steinway piano to the Vicar’s Landing Foundation. She felt the Auditorium needed a piano that could fill it with music. The dedication was a beautiful and moving event which included Ruth playing her favorite rendition of Jesus Loves Me and Claire de Lune.

As an avid music lover and lifelong musician, Ruth also sponsored young musicians and supported the symphony. Their performances in the Auditorium serve to enrich and uplift the residents of this great community. This gift also proves that monetary contributions aren’t the only way to give. We couldn’t be more honored to have Ruth’s magnificent piano grace our Auditorium.
