Maire Reynolds, events and marketing manager at Stark Enterprises, which owns Eton Chagrin Boulevard; and Beth Silver, director of public relations and marketing at Menorah Park, discussed what children and their grandparents can look forward to.
Eton Chagrin chose to partner with Menorah Park due to their mutual connections in the community, Reynolds said.
“We discuss all of our events very thoroughly when we’re in the planning stages and we were discussing potential partners,” Reynolds said. “Menorah Park was at the top of the list from the get-go.”
Reynolds said one of her colleagues had connections to Menorah Park and recommended collaborating with them because they are community partners who are “all in this together.”
“With all of these fun events going on and the generations together, Menorah Park’s part in this is we will be sponsoring the photo booth that provides that keepsake of the great day and we’re also going to be providing, in addition to the fun for all the generations, giving that special attention to the grandparents’ needs,” Silver said.
Silver noted Menorah Park’s other contribution to the event is exposing grandparents to the opportunities available to them which can support them as they age and educate them on the best ways to continue living empowered and inspired lives.
Experts from Menorah Park’s Peter B. Lewis Aquatic and Therapy Center will be present, offering grandparents an opportunity to have check-ins on their balance, Silver said. The experts will offer grandparents tips to help them stay active and mobile, and do all the memorable things they want to do with their grandchildren.
“Being a grandparent is such a special role, with the memories and the moments that we all cherish that we remember from every stage of our lives – how they influence us, how they give us unconditional love and that special touch that only grandparents can give,” Silver said. “So it’s exciting to be part of this and to celebrate this special group among us.”
