Senior Center (Tanya Richardson)
The Senior Center hosted a Gift shop sale in conjunction with the April Birthday party. The sale was a success and some new faces visited the center. Our seniors enjoyed some wonderful trips including the Wooden Shoe Tulip gardens, the museum at Warm Springs, and a hike at Frenchman’s Bar. The Change of Pace Respite program has seen an increase in attendance over the past 2 months serving 112 participant hours. This program allows caregivers some time off while their love ones whom may have memory problems, Alzheimer, or Dementia participate in activities such as crafts, music, brain games, and conversation led by instructor Sara Reis.
