Housewarming Parties for New Residents

To help our new residents transition to their new home, housewarming parties prove to be a fun and festive way to help settle and keep in touch with friends and families. We invite new residents to have a housewarming party and leave the planning and cooking to us! There were two parties last month and the enjoyment of seeing old friends was evident to all.
