Community & Sales Event Highlights

Jubilee Sales Plaza and Design Center Grand Opening

The concept of an Active Adult community was very new to Washington state when Jubilee opened in 2004.  Advertising was implemented in major newspapers in Western Washington, and ads were run on both television and radio.  A well-known “senior” radio personality was engaged to be at the grand opening with a lot of on-air promotion before the event. The internet was just starting to get popular, and the Jubilee website was strong. Live music and food rounded out the event. A pre-grand opening press tour was held as well as a Realtor event, both well attended.  The nine-model home plaza and custom design center were absolutely gorgeous and dazzled the 600+ prospects that attended the grand opening.  Jubilee was a big success from day one, with prospects coming from Washington state and many other states as well.

Jubilee Lodge Grand Opening

With great expectation the 26,000 square foot Jubilee Lodge (community center) opened several months after residents started moving in to the community.  I coordinated “Dusty shoe” tours, press tours, Realtor tours, new resident tours and Priority Wait List tours in timely increments.  On the day of the opening several hundred people attended the ribbon cutting.  I also coordinated and hosted with the team a beautiful plated dinner served to 300 guests, live music and dancing.  After the Lodge opened, home sales kicked into high gear.

Hawks Prairie Trail Grand Opening

About two years after Jubilee opened the highly anticipated 3-mile nature trail to the one-mile of Jubilee beach front was finished. I coordinated beautiful permanent national parklike kiosk signage along the trail for everyone to enjoy, and worked with the local Volksmarch group of several hundred people to help cut the ribbon and kick off the 3-mile trail walk.  Everyone was given nature trail bags with bottled water, banana and granola bar.  A great time was had by all.

WA State Senior Games at Jubilee.

In the early days of Jubilee, we partnered with the WA State Senior Games to hold the bike race, golf event and award ceremony at Jubilee.  This was an amazing event that helped put Jubilee on the map!

Olympia Rose Society and Garden Tour at Jubilee.

I worked with the Olympia Rose Society to move their annual rose show to the Jubilee Lodge for three years which also gave us the opportunity to host a resident garden tour for resident and prospects. Everyone LOVED seeing the beautiful roses as well as the AMAZING resident gardens.  It really gave prospects a glimpse of what they could do with their yard at Jubilee.

Rods, Dogs and Hogs at Jubilee

There were many car buffs at Jubilee, and two in particular who really wanted to host a car show at the community.  I teamed with them to coordinate and host the event.  They made the connection to bring 75 beautiful classic cars along with many “Hogs” as well.  Moreover, a fabulous gourmet hot dog vendor was hired to serve up his best “Dogs.”  Many awards were given out. Not only did this build community, it brought in hundreds of non-Jubilee residents who took advantage of our new home tours.
