Gifts distributed on Father's Day

We give thanks to two very special volunteers from the Saratoga Missionary Alliance Church—Terry and Judy Hicks—we have flowers in the front of our building and on the patio. With the advent of warmer weather, residents are going out on the patio to enjoy the sun and the beautiful flowers.

The bench seat outside our front door is receiving residents as well. The flowers look terrific.
