Happy Halloween!
October 29, 2020
Our residents in both Marian Hall and Antonia Hall enjoyed scary good Halloween celebrations on October 29, when our Activities Team hosted a pair of small-scale gatherings with treats and activities. Both celebrations included cookie-decorating and group games. Most of our residents were decked out in fun get-ups and delighted in the crazy costumes worn by our staff members. We hope your Halloween was as hauntingly good.
