Are you caring for an adult?

Are you ready

for a

day-cation?

Your loved one can benefit from socialization, health care, meals with friends and meaningful activities while you enjoy a day to catch up, rest, shop, just take time off. Good for him; good for you.

Wish listA great day for a cold treat!Clara Hughes enjoys an ice cream sundae, courtesty of Swooger’s. We appreciate the many individuals and busi-nesses that help make every day a treat at Life Enrichment Center through their donations and volunteering.

Thank you, PPG!Not only did PPG deliver deli-

cious vegetables from their garden in the last year, but

three employees, John Bowen, Rita Haynes, and Larry Wilson (standing behind participants)

designated LEC as the recipi-ent of the gifts PPG gives in

the name of employees who volunteer a certain number of

hours in the garden.Again, this summer we are

enjoying their produce.
