Getting the Sr. Respite Center Ready


First Baptist Church, Leesburg, FL

So today was our first clean up day at the building in the Ministry Village of FBC Leesburg, where we will be housing our Sr. Respite Care Center.
We will be offering care for those who are elderly and just need to get out and socialize with others, play games, make crafts, sing....
Hmmm....sounds like everything "I" love to do now, and hope that when I get to that point in my life of being in their situation, that there will be something available like this for me! :)
We had several volunteers show up to take the first steps in getting this place in tip-top shape.
Today it was all about cleaning, scrubbing, vacuuming, etc.
Two weeks from today we'll be going in to decorate and make the place feel more "homey" and warm to the guests we will be having - we want their time spent here to be a place that they look forward to each week.
