In honor of Martin Luther King Jr., here are a couple of our March acts of service.
We donated gifts baskets to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Corridor for their Kicks For Kids Blue Door Bash Sneaker Gala. 👟
A Card Crafters Club has also been initiated. We have 2 residents who have graciously let others come and make cards not only for themselves but for any of our residents to use. We are planning to have a space in our library where residents can "shop" for cards.

To support Mom and Pop Small Business Owners Day, Sheri, our Business Office Director is celebrating Fiber Heart!
Here's what she had to say: My absolute favorite local small business! Coffee, gifts, and yarn all in one place! Jams is a cute coffee shop with lots of homemade treats. They carry all sorts of gifts from wine to a baby boutique. And let's not forget the yarn as far as you can see. Absolutely love this shop and the environment.
