Community groups decked the halls at Summit of Up using the theme Christmas Carols with their own special touch on Christmas trees that brought the spirit of the season to the senior living community in Park Ridge. Fourteen groups participated in the annual event this year.

“Long a hub of community life for all ages, we are pleased that these groups have come to help us celebrate the season. When people who call Summit home welcome visitors from the community, they know they are part of a vibrant and caring neighborhood that lies just beyond our doors,” said Wilson Anhar, Executive Director at Summit of Uptown, https://www.arborcompany.com/locations/illinois/park-ridge-summit-of-uptown.
