A Word From Our Director

Welcome to October!


It doesn’t quite feel like sweater weather yet, but I hope we’re getting there!


We are deeply grateful to Mena & Co. for choosing Society as the beneficiary of their “All About You” event coming up on October 16. Beauty, Fashion, and Wellness is the theme for this festive and fun evening at the Double Tree. Tickets are available at Event Brite – please join us for a great evening where ticket proceeds are donated to Society!


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 Aktion/Buddy Club in partnership with United Cerebral Palsy. The next Buddy Club meeting is scheduled for November 1st and the theme is Dia de Los Muertos!


We are very excited about the Fall Ball coming up in November…dressing up, dancing, and mingling – be sure to join us on November 15th! And don’t forget to sign up to select your dream dress when we invite you to “shop” with us on October 23.


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