November 2014

As October came to a close it brought us cold weather along with blustering winds and anticipation for snow!

In October we survived our flu shots, made some beautiful breast cancer awareness pins, delicious apple sauce, enjoyed spooky movies, and discovered hidden talents of bowling!

We had an awesome time pumpkin carving!! Thank you for everyone who came!

Autumns Promise continues to welcome new Residents and Staff as our “family” here continues to grow! See you soon!

We wish you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

What’s New?!

Happy Birthday!
