A local senior living facility in Texas is organizing a special event called 'solar-bration' for its residents to experience the upcoming total solar eclipse. The event aims to make sure that all residents, regardless of age, have a chance to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event. One resident, Jean Jakubowski, expressed her excitement as she believes she won't have another opportunity to witness a solar eclipse in her lifetime. The event will take place at the Brookdale Summer Ridge Senior Living Home in Rockwall, Texas.
A once-in-a-lifetime event like next week's total solar eclipse means North Texans, young and old, have likely never experienced one in person. At a local senior living facility, it means making sure the day is special for all its residents. It’s an event no one wants to miss, and Brookdale Senior Living Home is making sure its residents have a chance to be a part of it. At 76 years old, Jean Jakubowski raised five kids alongside her husband of 56 years.
"The oldest is 56, and the youngest is 35," she said. "So we have them stretching from one end to the other." Jakubowski's got many stories to tell. And on April 8, she'll add a total solar eclipse to her list. "Well, I know I’m not gonna see another one in my lifetime, so this is it!" she said. Jakubowski lives at the Brookdale Summer Ridge Senior Living Home in Rockwall. On Monday, North Texas is expected to be in the path of totality for the solar eclipse. The facility is throwing what it’s calling a ‘solar-bration’ for all the residents
