Watermark Residents Featured in National Calendar Competition

Watermark Retirement Communities recently announced that residents at The Watermark at 3030 Park in Bridgeport and The Watermark at East Hill in Southbury are featured in the 2014 edition of Watermark Expressions, a calendar celebrating active aging and the arts.

 

Each year, hundreds of residents from more than 30 Watermark communities across the country competed for a place in the calendar. Expert judges assessed work at each community, selecting the best pieces to be sent to Watermark Retirement Communities’ headquarters in Tucson, Arizona. From there, finalists were selected and awarded one of only twelve spots in this year’s calendar.
