This year marks the 5th year that the ALP participates in activities at Elderwood Assisted Living here in town. Each Wednesday, we walk down to Elderwood and play Bingo with the residents. One of our students volunteers each week to call Bingo numbers and the rest disperse among the residents and spend time playing Bingo with them at their tables. We have met some interesting characters and heard some great life stories! One of the residents told us that she is over 100 years young and still playing Bingo on her own. Another lady told us about how she enjoys making jewelry and scarves to sell. And Breanna learned that the gentleman she sat with had never met anyone with the name "Breanna" before. We look forward to Wednesday Bingo every week, and something tells me the residents do as well :)
