We would like to thank Alyson Dunn , Sarah Miller, and Kassidy Hood for coming to the facility and styling the ladies hair today. Several ladies also had their nails painted and loved their Valentine colors. These students are taking Cosmetology at Georgia Northwestern Technical College. We look forward to working with them in the future for more events.

We would like to wish Ms. Beulah Couch a Happy 100th Birthday!! Ms. Couch told me she was born a little over 4 lbs and wasn’t expected to live, she said, “Look at me now.”
Ms. Couch is the matriarch of her family, 5 generations and growing. This precious lady was celebrated with family and friends over the past few days. Her family fulfilled every wish including her fish dinner! She stated, “ This was the best birthday I’ve ever had.”
