The Sensory Work Group here at the Potomac Center has been hard at work preparing blankets, pillows, ornaments, stationary, dog treats and other items to sell at their first annual holiday bazaar which was held on campus for the employees of the Potomac Center and SETT! The residents were so proud of their creations and lovingly helped bag employee purchases. A big thank you to everyone who attended the bazaar and supported our residents and their hard work and creativity!!

On Friday, September26, 2025, the Vocational team at the Potomac Center/SETT hosted a carnival for the residents. They enjoyed delicious and refreshing sno cones, a variety of indoor games and prizes, pie in the face, but the hit of the day was the dunk tank. Residents were able to take their shot at dunking some of their favorite staff for tickets, while staff was able to purchase chances to dunk their co-workers. A big thank you to the Vocational team for graciously donating the funds raised at the dunk tank to the Volunteer Association. These funds will go directly back to supporting the residents at the Potomac Center and SETT.

The Potomac Center/SETT will be hosting their 2nd annual employee/resident Relay for Life. The first annual event was a huge success and enjoyed by residents and staff alike. Participating in this event will continue to be an exciting opportunity for our residents to continue to learn how they will be helping to celebrate cancer survivors and how raising funds will help with cancer research. Anyone wishing to contribute toward our team's goal and help the American Cancer Society fight cancer, please use the link in the attached flyer. Feel free to share with family and friends 🙂

Stay tuned for progress pictures throughout the summer!!
