What would spring and Mother’s Day season be without a fun tulip making craft? The group was able to create their own beautiful tulips out of pipe cleaners (and the help of some hot glue).

We had a lovely Mother’s Day brunch today featuring eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, fruit salad, mini sandwiches, cupcakes, and of course tea! Thank you to our kitchen volunteers for preparing all the food, Helen & Kathi for organizing and setting things up, and all those who came to support.

Happy Mother’s Day to all who have a mom, are a mom, mother figures, pet moms, and everything in between.
