Is nothing happening at Building a Bridge?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the contrary, but we post mostly now on our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BuildingaBridge\">facebook site<\/a>. (Please follow us there.)<br>Lots of great things are going on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a new staff person in the Belmont house, <a href=\"http:\/\/building-a-bridge.org\/staff\">Beth Elliott<\/a>, who joined recently. Welcome Beth, we are delighted to have you. <br>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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.10150353441279192.362393.56587189191&amp;type=1\">pumpkin carving and painting<\/a> party. That was followed by a fun <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.10150361199574192.364256.56587189191&amp;type=1\">Halloween Party<\/a> at our Belmont house, almost everyone dressed up! We all enjoyed food and dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just last week, some of the Residents went to <a href=\"http:\/\/fairhunt.com\/\">Fairhunt Farm<\/a>, 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. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.10150366408404192.365537.56587189191&amp;type=1\">It was a joyful and wonderful day in great fall weather<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yesterday, we started our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10150370844424192&amp;set=pu.56587189191&amp;type=1&amp;theater\"><strong>Guest Chef for Dinner<\/strong><\/a> with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brettleake.com\/\">Brett Leake\u2019s<\/a> mom and her husband, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.10150370727259192.366454.56587189191&amp;type=1\">Sylvia and Max Reinhard<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our Facebook site for Day of Caring, Poetry reading and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>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!
