Thank you to everyone who became a secret valentine to a senior!
We are so happy to see the smiles everyone's faces yesterday. The tea party was a success along with our surprise care package distribution.This was our first year and we never expected that we would be this much support from all of you. You had made an impact to our seniors. Even if it was just a day, we definitely made Valentine's Day a day of love for all ages.
