May Activity Calendar
We have added some neat activities, new ways to socialize and virtual events to our calendar this month. Residents have the opportunity to enjoy virtual tours of the Shed and Zoo as well as exercise virtually throughout Brazil. The nice weather allows us to use the patios and gardens for outdoor socially distanced gatherings as well. Ice cream socials, Popcorn Tuesday and Friday happy hour continue to be resident favorites.
