Activities Program
 
The Activities Program is a program that helps our retired client employees continue to enjoy a higher quality of life.

During the summer months we visited Rosse Posse Acres, an elk farm, went blueberry picking, lots of picnics, some even at Silver Creek Falls!

For Arts & Crafts we have been working on our Garden Art fundraiser, an extension of the Spring Sprout Sale. These items have been selling quickly which has enabled us to go and do so many fun things. Thanks for the support!

On August 27th we went to the client-employee picnic at Cascade Gateway Park. We sang Karaoke, danced and had Tacos!

Embroidery / Screen Printing
 
During this last work period we screen printed t-shirts for a local basketball team, a customer from the private sector and a state agency. We also did some custom embroidery work for a local insurance company, a state agency, and for some of the staff. During our training sessions this month we studied hygiene and safety. We also participated in an earthquake and fire drill.
