Let’ s start the afternoon off right! We will have lunch with our friends, discuss current events, and listen to some great music. Each week, we will find a new dessert, appetizer, or bread to make. At the end of the season, we will compile a recipe book of all the different foods we made throughout the season.

The last part of our afternoon together will be spent hanging out and engaging in different leisure activities. Activities may include sports, playing board games, or making a craft. If the weather is appropriate, we may go outside so please dress according to the weather! Participants will also decide on various community outings that the group will attend throughout the season. Transportation will be provided from NSSRA Bowling or Gator Bowling to Saturday Socializers. Participants must bring their own lunch to this program. No program September 30.
