The Friday Five


February 7, 2025

Welcome Back to the Friday Five

We've got plenty to look forward to in today's newsletter. Art classes, chair yoga sessions, and black history month programs are filling up our schedules. We love staying busy over here! We also found a way to watch Sunday's game for free. We hope you enjoy all that we've got lined up in today's Friday Five.
