Refugee Elder Program Recovering from winter and plowing joyfully into the new year! When classes started back up in February, many of our Elders were ready to come back despite icy weather conditions— equipped with mittens, scarfs, hats and boots, they just wanted to be there with everybody else! We really have a great group of wonderful people, and our precious volunteers didn’t miss a beat as well! The cold was “weathered” with warm-up exercises and much laughter! As time went along, we had community speakers, art sessions, new exercise explosions and already a field trip at the Carnegie Center in Indiana! New volunteers have been visiting, new students have been added and we celebrated a newly added American citizen! Birthdays were recognized at the end of the month to cheer on with special cupcakes! Amazing creations came out of our rotating art classes, and mural artistic sessions have begun in March and April, having their Gran finale soon exhibited at the Americana Community Center. Truly, it’s never getting boring at the Elder Program!
