Each year Solheim Lutheran Home (dba Solheim Senior Community) holds an Annual Meeting of the Corporation. This is a particularly special year, as Solheim celebrates our Centennial Year! We are proud to have been serving seniors for 100 years and look forward to what God has in store for us as we enter our 2nd century of service.

In 1923, Los Angeles resident Adolph Larson, a Norwegian emigrant, envisioned a “cozy Christian home for aged Norwegians” and, with the backing of his men’s church group, he founded Solheim Lutheran Home in Eagle Rock, California. In the 100 years since, Solheim has provided a safe, comfortable and caring haven for senior men and women of diverse nationalities, races and religions.

What was happening in the world 100 years ago? Let’s refresh.

Look in the mirror. Say the word “yes” and watch how your whole face lights up, from your crinkly eyes to your sincerely wide smile.

Now say the word “no.” Even when you say it nicely, look how stony your face becomes. Your eye light dims, the curtains come down and your energy plummets.

Many of us have doctors—or family or friends or a particularly persistent partner—who frequently encourage/nudge/order us to exercise.

“I know, I know,” we respond. “It’s just that exercise takes so much effort!”

Yes, exercise does require effort; that’s rather the point. No one’s suggesting you launch into a 90-minute spin class or run an immediate 5K. Exercise can be nice and easy. It might even be … fun!

This year the Annual Meeting of the Corporation is on Sunday, June 5, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. Due to the pandemic, this meeting will be held virtually, via ZOOM.
