Families, friends and supporters who follow us here on our web site: You are probably wondering why we have not posted any News in many months! Is nothing happening at Building a Bridge?
On the contrary, but we post mostly now on our facebook site. (Please follow us there.)
Lots of great things are going on!
We have a new staff person in the Belmont house, Beth Elliott, who joined recently. Welcome Beth, we are delighted to have you.
We have started a book club once a month, where we get together and talk and recommend a book that we have read recently. It is not the regular book club! Great discussions happen that are not always related to the books!
October is of course the time of pumpkins and parties! We went to Carter Mountain to get pumpkins and go on a hay ride, and later there was a great pumpkin carving and painting party. That was followed by a fun Halloween Party at our Belmont house, almost everyone dressed up! We all enjoyed food and dancing.
Just last week, some of the Residents went to Fairhunt Farm, where they spend many hours with horses. We were taught how to take care of the horses, could ride them with instructors and go on a carriage ride. It was a joyful and wonderful day in great fall weather.
And yesterday, we started our Guest Chef for Dinner with Brett Leake’s mom and her husband, Sylvia and Max Reinhard. We had a great meal, much laughing, and great discussions. We already have a list of more supporters of Building a Bridge who signed up, and hope more friends will participate in this fun program.
Check out our Facebook site for Day of Caring, Poetry reading and much more.
Enjoy!
