Each year since the Lady-Links were organized in 2013, we have met at Christmas time to make ornaments to give to residents in our continuing care community. It’s a wonderful time of giving in the spirit of Christmas. Throughout the year, we visit the ladies in our community who have some type of cognitive decline engaging them in activities they enjoy. For our December activity, in addition to our visits, we meet as a group to make over 100 ornaments to share with everyone in our assisted living, post-acute care and memory care community.
Everyone enjoyed making the ornaments, but the real joy came in knowing that the residents who receive them would experience joy as well.
Even the husbands and guests got into the ornament-making mode!
Delicious refreshments, wonderful fellowship, and decorations added to the joy of the event.
The finished ornaments filled an entire table.
The Lady-Links agree that giving is the best part of what we do.
