Thank You Volunteers!
I’d like to personally thank all the volunteers who were a part of this event and helped make it an incredibly memorable experience for everyone who attended! The activities director at The Courtyard, Pat Durham, and I have been talking about this event since September and it finally came to life! The Prom was an incredible success and the residents absolutely loved it, so much so that we’re planning on making this an annual event at The Courtyard nursing home! If you’re interested in being a part of that event or others with The Courtyard nursing home, reach out to my email: emilyhoka@gmail.com. We have a lot of fun events planned for this summer and we need volunteers!
