Foliage Turkey Train

The people have spoken, and we're doing it again! The Mayfair Mavericks are heading back to the beloved Winnipesaukee "Turkey Train" in Meredith, NH — and this one is sure to be a highlight of the season. Get ready for a perfect fall foliage day trip filled with stunning scenery, great company, and oh-so-good food!

We'll kick off the day with a gorgeous scenic drive north to Meredith, NH, where we'll board the Winnipesaukee "Turkey Train" at the Hobo Railroad. Sit back, relax, and take in the breathtaking New Hampshire countryside as we roll through the landscape on this two-hour scenic train ride — all while enjoying a mouthwatering, full turkey dinner with ALL the fixings, courtesy of the legendary Hart's Turkey Farm.

After our lunch excursion, we'll hop back on the motorcoach and make our way to the charming Moulton Farm, nestled in the heart of the Lakes Region. This stunning working farm dates back to the 1890s and is as beautiful as it is bountiful. Moulton Farm is proud to practice sustainable agriculture, bringing you the freshest, highest-quality fruits and vegetables while lovingly preserving its rich soil for generations to come. You'll have some free time to wander the farm stand, explore the garden center, and — we highly recommend — treat yourself to something from the bakery!

Bloom Bus Tours will pick us up in front of the Mayfair office, at 6 Putnam Road, at 9:30 AM and anticipate returning around 7:30 PM. Discounted tickets are $135 P/P and include the coach ride, Turkey Train, and dinner. Friends and family are welcome. Please stop by the office to sign up and pay no later than August 30. As always, all sales are final.

Movie Night

Get ready for Movie Night, a new resident-driven event happening the second Friday of every month! Grab your favorite snacks and a drink of your choice and join your neighbors for a relaxed evening at the movies. Location rotates between the Hillcrest Village and Putnam Village clubhouses each month, and all residents are welcome to attend, regardless of which property you call home. No sign-up required — just show up! And here's the best part: at each Movie Night, the group votes on next month's film and who'll host it, so this is a series built entirely by residents, for residents.

Our first Movie Night is Friday, October 9th at 6:30 PM at the Hillcrest Village Clubhouse. Resident Anna P. has graciously stepped up to host and has chosen Hidden Figures, the inspiring true story of three brilliant Black women mathematicians at NASA whose work helped launch astronaut John Glenn into orbit during the early days of the space race. It's a great pick to kick things off — come cheer them on and help decide what we'll watch next!

Mayfair Community Potluck

Mayfair residents are launching a new community tradition this fall: a resident-driven potluck series bringing neighbors together to share good food and good company. Open to all households across Hillcrest Village, Putnam Village, and Pine Tree Garden, the potluck will be held every other month, giving everyone a regular chance to connect, catch up, and get to know the neighbors down the hall or down the street. No signup is required — simply show up and join the fun!

The first potluck will take place at 6 P.M. on Friday, October 16th in the Hillcrest Village clubhouse, with future gatherings continuing on the third Friday of every other month. The location will rotate between the Hillcrest and Putnam clubhouses, with the next potluck in December moving to the Putnam Village clubhouse. Each household is welcome to bring a dish to share, along with their own plates, utensils, and any serving utensils needed for their dish. And if cooking isn't your thing, no worries — a store-bought dish is more than welcome too. The goal is simply to gather with friends and neighbors! We can't wait to see you there!

Ear Accupuncture & Seeding With Jenny Branco Wellness

We are so excited to kick off our Mayfair Wellness Series with a truly unique and relaxing experience right here in the Hillcrest Village Clubhouse. Join us for an evening of ear acupuncture and ear seeding.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, exhausted, wired-but-tired, struggling with sleep, tension, headaches, digestion, hormone changes, or simply feeling "off" in your body?

Join Jenny Branco, BSN, RN, IHP, AAT, for a deeply restorative wellness experience designed to help your body shift out of stress mode and into a calmer, more regulated state. Ear acupuncture uses specific points on the ear to communicate directly with the nervous system, helping the body release tension, improve resilience to stress, support emotional balance, and promote a greater sense of calm and well-being. Many participants notice softer muscles, deeper breathing, a quieter mind, improved mood, and better sleep following treatment.

In addition to full ear acupuncture sessions, attendees will also have the option to receive customized ear seeds. Ear seeds are tiny beads placed on specific points of the ear that continue providing gentle stimulation for several days after your visit. With more than 200 points available on the ear, protocols can be tailored to support concerns such as stress, sleep, energy, cravings, digestion, headaches, neck and shoulder tension, emotional balance, focus, hormonal symptoms, and more.

Jenny combines her background in conventional healthcare, Functional Medicine, and nervous system-focused wellness to create personalized experiences that help clients feel supported, cared for, and empowered in their healing journey.

Residents and their friends and family are welcome to choose from two options:

Ear Acupuncture + Ear Seeding — $75 per person (limited to 11 participants, begins at 6:30 PM)

Ear Seeding Only — $35 per person (no limit, begins at 7:00 PM)

Whether you're looking for a moment of calm, relief from persistent symptoms, or a simple way to support your overall wellbeing, this is an experience you won't want to miss.

Please stop in our office or give us a call to sign up and pay no later than October 31. We expect to sell out of both services, so we encourage you not to wait to sign up.
