Last Thursday, we had the pleasure to spend an amazing day at West Goshen Park for our event! 🎨🥚

We kicked things off by painting Easter eggs and getting creative, then wrapped up the day with hot potato and other fun group games. It was great to see everyone laughing, connecting, and enjoying time in the community together. Days like this are what it’s all about 💙

Matthew checked out One Missed Call and gave it a D+… looks like the movie wasn’t the only thing that missed the call. Safe to say Matthew is a tough critic when it comes to horror.

Have you seen it? Do you agree with Matthew’s rating?
