A Word from Valerie, the Program Coordinator

September is full of state fair fun, games all about the state fair. Clients will be going for an all day outing to Cedar Crest for lunch club at Big Boys. Offered daily is gentle chair exercise, other physical activities such as bottle toss, granny pants, clown toss and much more. Staff will keep our clients busy with cognitive/social activities such as 5 second rule, things, all about the fair, and state fair foods.
