Happy Birthday to the fabulous Jan! 🎉 We celebrated a true L’Arche legend at this month’s Community Night. Jan has been a part of L’Arche in the USA for decades and we’re so proud she calls our Frederick community home. Erin, Will, Trevor, and Kelly prepared a delicious meal to share. Then, Trevor & Caraline whipped up a creative cake activity giving everyone a chance to name Jan’s gifts and celebrate another year together. 🎂 We love you, Jan!
