Events & Health Education
Throughout the year at The Village at Victory Lakes, many different
special events are offered to the residents, as well as to those residing
outside the community. One week might feature a senior exercise program
and the next might feature a guest speaker sharing his or her expertise
regarding hip and knee replacement. Then, later in the month, there
might be a holiday barbeque with live music, a choir performance
in the chapel or any of the the other countless other fun, relaxing
and educational events that are regularly scheduled at The Village
at Victory Lakes.
In addition, we believe that seniors can benefit greatly by learning
more about the benefits of exercise, positive aging and other health-related
matters. That's why we will use this valuable space to share important
health education with you.

The Roosevelts
The Village at Victory Lakes
Saturday, October 4th, 1 p.m.
Professional historians and performers William and Sue Wills have been captivating audiences young and old alike in their special rendition of “Presidents and Their First Ladies.” The program is based on historical facts and delivered with an entertaining flair.
People tend to remember President Franklin and First Lady Eleanor, and why not as they were in those positions longer than any other couple. But sometimes forgotten are the two young people who met and fell in love and the years of triumphs and tragedies that shaped their personalities and their relationship, which led up to the 1932 election and their 12 years as First Couple. This program is one you won’t soon forget as the Wills focus on the Roosevelts’ private side and how that affected their public lives.
“Men and women who live together through long years come to know one another’s failings, but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
