Decorating Cookies!

Join us on a Saturday moring to go over our daily Chronicles and spend some time taste testing our favorite cookies.

Our residents meet almost every morning at 9:00/9:30am to go over a "today in history" style newsletter with fun facts on various holidays, traditions, birthdays, a quote, and usually some light conversation with the crowd. Volunteers and staff will help gather residents from their neighborhoods and bring them down to join us, as well as a potential public speaking opportunity by reading off our daily chronicle if you would like. We will also be rocking out to some classic music from the 1960's and 70's!

After that, stick around to assist our staff with our Cookie Club at 10:00am, where our residents are able to taste test everyones favorite cookies! This is a huge crowd pleaser for our reisdents, and it tends to be many hands on deck.

**Volunteers are unable to assist in directly passing out food, or assisting in eating snacks, meals, and drinks.**

**Although rare, all activities are subject to change at any moment. If you signed up for an activity that we need to change, we will inform you immediately.**
