A Word From Our Director

Happy October! It doesn’t quite feel like Sweater Weather yet, but I am faithful it will soon!

Bowling is still in full swing, Miracle League Baseball is going strong, and we’re looking forward to Ski Season – which will be here before we know it! Don’t forget, we also offer Buddy Club (in partnership with United Cerebral Palsy).

I hope you have plans to get outdoors and enjoy the cooler weather we’re expecting. The outdoor sights and indoor aromas of the fall season are my favorites! Check out our craft and recipe section for some fun and productive activities.

We are looking forward to seeing you at upcoming events and programs…stay tuned, and as always, keep smiling!
