Latest news and updates from your reporter on the scene; Darren.
The past month was a busy one! We had our Holiday pictures taken and then our delicious annual Thanksgiving Feast. We had open face turkey sandwiches, green beans, mashed potatoes and stuffing. It was nice the whole center got to eat our hot meals together.
A group of us went to Rossi to help decorate trees for the Festival of Trees! We ended up decorating 4 trees while we were there. One was Candy Land themed and one was Halloween. 2 of the trees were white and 2 were green. They came out great and it was a fun time.
We spent some time decorating the center for the holidays. We put up our Christmas trees, hung the lights and decorated them too.
We celebrated many birthdays as well! We had pizza parties, cakes and played charades. I acted out brushing my teeth. Everyone had a lot of fun and there were lots of laughs.
Then center went on Meals at Home 6 times.
