   Hello! Our indoor activities including euchre, dominoes, and pinochle are in full swing as well as
 our “Get Moving” Exercise class, and outdoor Corn Hole and Bocce ball. We will continue to use the
self sign-in form for all activities, including cards. As always, participants who do not feel well or have
a temperature are asked to remain home. Beginning August 2nd we will also have beverages and snacks
    allowed inside the buildings, but may change as CDC regulations change. Our trip to the Encore
  Theatre to see the concert “Standard Time: Music from Years Gone By” was excellent by all reviews,
 and on August 20th we have a trip planned to view Four Star Gardens and the Detroit Institute of Art’s
Inside/Outside Artwork displayed around Huron Township with lunch at Portofino’s! September we are
 going to hold a “mini” 2021 Senior Olympics. Watch for more information & trips in the coming days.
