What a day to remember! 💕✨

Today we celebrated Valentine’s Day in the best way possible at the beautiful Crowne Plaza, and it was truly a huge success from start to finish!

We kicked things off with pictures 📸 (because you know we had to capture those smiles!), then jumped right into dancing. One thing about our CLRI participants, is that they are going to hit that dance floor and have a GOOD time! 💃🏽🕺🏽 The energy in the room was everything!

Our “Find Your Match” game was an absolute hit — so many laughs, so much excitement, and just pure joy all around. And to top it all off, we ended the celebration with karaoke 🎤✨ where everyone got their moment to shine!
So proud of our folks and so grateful for moments like these. ❤️

A look at our week 😊
This week was full of everyday wins and meaningful moments. We enjoyed a cooking class where we made meatball subs (and they were a hit!), went swimming, took care of grocery shopping and household chores, and spent time with friends out in the community.

We also made time to read, play games, and head to work. A steady, productive week that kept everyone active, engaged, and connected 💙
