A Day at Downey's Farm: Memories in the Making 🌳

Many thanks to all the sponsors, administrators, and volunteers who put this program together. I look forward to more exciting outings in the future."

Following the fruitful apple-picking expedition, our seniors made their way to the nearby market run by Downey’s Farm. Here, amidst the aroma of freshly prepared meals, they shared a delightful lunch. But it wasn't just the food that filled the air with excitement. The seniors, young at heart, took to the floor and danced with the enthusiasm of children, creating a symphony of laughter and joy that resonated through the market.
