Adult Daycare    

ONEgeneration, would like to wish our Senior Enrichment Center member Phil Glassor a very Happy Belated 100th Birthday! Phil Glasser, a member of ONEgeneration for about 7 years, celebrated his birthday on 4/23 at a luncheon given at the Sagebrush Cantina by his daughter and son, Karen and Paul. Phil’s ping-pong friends from ONEgeneration also celebrated his birthday a few days earlier at Sumo Asian Buffet and Grill. Photos below: Phil with friends and family at the Sagebrush Cantina, Phil with his kids (Paul [& Judy], Karen), ONEgeneration ping pongers and Phil at Sumo Asian Buffet, Phil letter from President Biden, Phil holding a present, ONEgeneration ping pongers and Phil, and Phil with grandkids (Carina and Kevin).

Last month, ONEgeneration's Intergenerational Daycare Center's IG Program was in full swing with daily activities for our preschoolers and their senior "neighbors". Photos above taken during "music & movement", and puzzle activities and photos below taken during our Cinco de Mayo celebration!
