Volunteer Tea April Showers Bring… As the old saying goes, “April Showers bring May Flowers.” April is not only going to bring us showers, but it is also bringing us lots of music, games and special days. On Friday, April 1, Country Cross will be here to entertain by singing gospel and country music. Other exciting events are our volunteer party for our ladies and gentlemen who dedicate their time helping us with our activity programs. We will also have a week dedicated to our celestial Universe. We will also be celebrating Earth Day and Arbor Day. Watch our calendars for special activities and come join us when you can. The residents would like to invite all of our volunteers to a special tea to honor the men and women who dedicate their time to our facility. The tea will be held on Tuesday, April 19 at 2 p.m. in the dining room. This is our little way to say Thank You.

We will be visiting the children at A Step Ahead Daycare on Tuesday, April 5 at 10 a.m. Children are a very important aspect of the lives of the elderly population. They love to see their grandchildren visit. A child brightens their day as soon as he or she enters the room. We will take some books with us to A Step Ahead and read to the children. Each one of our ladies and gentlemen will read a story. This will not only benefit the children but our ladies and gentlemen alike. I am sure there will be smiles on everyone’s faces.
