Social Experiences

• We had a pancake and Belgian waffle breakfast on Wednesday, October 14. Special thanks to Roxanne for her assistance in organizing the event, Austin and Dorothy for pancake flipping duty, and for Selomon and Tyler for mixing duties! It was a delicious and fun way to start the day!
• We just began a new weekly book club on Thursdays from 12:30-1:30 p.m.listening to a fantastic Radio Theater production of The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. This has been an excellent time of reflection and interactive discussion.
