The North Shore Care Center is a musical place! The North Shore Community Band performed Dixieland and swing music on Fat Tuesday for the annual Mardi Gras dance at the Care Center.
Spring is in the air and it is certainly welcomed by residents at North Shore Care Center. There are lots of activities coming up in April to lift spirits – April Fool’s Day, indoor planting, spring crafts, filling eggs for the community egg hunt, Easter – and longer days of sunlight.
Spring cleanup is going on inside and outside and everyone looks forward to getting out on the patios soon. There will be early planting with our earth boxes, and a special gardening project planned for Earth Day.
April brings warmer weather with more outings in the community for shopping downtown, lunch at the Senior Center, and the Community Spring Concert at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.
