On May 17th, We all enjoyed a walk on the beach at the Presque Isle. We enjoyed the weather and enjoy each others companies as we talked about our lives.
May 23rd We honored to have the artist Anne C, come teach us about Sand Painting. We all created our own self image, and other creatives are pieces. We had a great time see everyone and hope to see you at the next Consumer Wellness Program event!
