March Meeting Events

Our March meeting provided us with an opportunity to learn more about the new Mt. Washington Valley Adult Day Center with guest speakers Tammy Drew and Julie Van Dyne.  The Mt. Washington Valley Adult Day Center is a 14,000 square foot facility the provides senior care services in a comfortable home-like setting. Some of the services offered are:

• a common room for group activities and socializing
• a kitchen and dining room for lunch and snacks
• Hair salon
• Art room
• gardens

Julie, a former Altrusan, currently provides nursing services at the Day Center.  We are excited to support their programs with a donation.

We also enjoyed the special event of the initiation of  Dreaner Sanford as a new member of Altrusa of Carroll County.  She was introduced to all by her sponsor, Peg Poirier.  Welcome Dreaner!
