May is Family Caregiver Month. We will celebrate it with a Tea Party on May 17. We are also offering great workshops and field trips for our caregivers in the coming months.
With the weather getting warmer, we plan to invite our caregivers to go outdoor and explore the nature and culture of Richmond. Please see the upcoming two field trips, and call 604-279-7099/email[email protected] for inquiries or registration.
