THE{FULL}LIFE
TOUCHMARK AT WEDGEWOOD
Combining cold—and fun!
Residents are embracing the winter fun. The recent cabin-fever bash (pictured) included a friendly Road
Hockey game (with resident and former professional basketball referee Tom McClocklin overseeing the
game), snow sculpting, musical entertainment, and winter drinks. A local news station also covered the
event. Later, residents welcomed the 2014 Winter Olympics with an indoor floor curling event. National
Curling Hall of Famer Cathy King threw the first rock.
