POSTED ON BEHALF OF TAMMY TACKAC
Hello! I hope everyone is keeping warm! Keeping busy at the Ambridge center is helping us to be warm. In January, we had a visit from KDKA weatherman Dennis Bowman. He came with 3 puppets and put on a very entertaining show for us. He also simulated a tornado for us which was very educational. He mentioned his visit here twice the next day on the morning news broadcast. Everyone enjoyed his visit.
Thank you to everyone who submitted recipes for National Cookbook Day. We had a nice variety of recipes to exchange and take home. One day we made homemade wedding soup and served it for lunch with an Italian ham and provolone cheese sandwich for National Soup day. Our service project in January was making homemade cat treats for the Beaver County Humane Society.
February will prove to be just as eventful. In honor of all the presidents' birthdays in February, we will be baking Mrs. Truman’s recipe for coconut balls and playing a game of “What First Lady am I?” We are celebrating Chinese New Year by making a good fortune hanging craft and having a Chinese scavenger hunt. On Thursdays, we are happy to have 2 Pitt occupational therapy students at the center from 10am – 4pm. They will be here for a few months as part of their schooling and will assist us with various tasks. We are welcoming Frank Lavelle back to the center for an entertaining afternoon. Please make sure you look at the February activity calendar for all the other programs that are offered this month.
We are in need of BINGO prizes. If you have any knick-knacks lying around the house that you want to get rid of, we will take them here at the Ambridge center. This would be greatly appreciated!
Volunteers are always needed. If you are interested, please contact Tammy Tackac at 724-266-9626.
