Kensington Place Celebrates 15th Birthday Residents and guests of Kensington Place celebrated the building's 15th anniversary in style with a barbeque and concert on August 27, 2008. Despite a drizzle, an overflowing crowd of more than 350 people enjoyed the evening under the party tent and in the Kensington dining room. In addition to the pig roast, the Kensington kitchen crew prepared traditional barbeque side dishes, and a huge birthday cake was served. Many guests chose to have a caricature done to commemorate this historic event. Musical entertainment was provided by Arnett Howard on the trumpet and keyboard, often accompained by Ray Pauken on banjo. A long-time supporter of Lutheran Social Services, Howard performed a wide variety of music and regaled the audience with stories about his time at Capital University, where he studied with a professor who now lives at Kensington Place. According to Penny Smith, residence director, the evening's celebration "was a great way to celebrate Kensington's residents and to recognize the role that they have played in making Kensington Place such a great community." As he was leaving, one guest was overheard saying, "Boy, Kensington Place sure knows how to throw a party!" |
