San Lee Park

Saturday 5 May 2012 was a good day for fishing and a picnic. And that is just what Jennifer, Misty, Beth, Mary, and Debbie were out doing Saturday morning. Certainly not wanting to waste a beautiful Saturday morning and afternoon these ladies along with the guys from Mercer took their fishing poles and picnic baskets and headed for San Lee Park for a little fishing, joking around, duck feeding, and sub sandwiches. San Lee Park is just the place here in Sanford to get back to nature, with its serene lake, quiet picnic area, and there were some fish to be caught!!!  Even their caregiver, Nancy, joined in on the action and caught a fish or two.  It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday and the ladies enjoyed the time outside in the warm sunshine!! imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage

10 Year Anniversary for the Stevens Center facility

The 10th anniversary celebration of the Stevens Center facility here in Sanford was held Friday evening 4 May 2012. The Stevens Center has been providing people living with disabilities opportunity to pursue their dreams as part of the community for ten years. The women from Lanier have been participating in events such as First Friday Family Night on the first Friday of each month, and they also volunteer their time to help with the No Scare Fair which is held each October for Halloween. A lasagna dinner was served followed by music and dancing.  The Stevens Center is a great place to gather with friends for BINGO games, banquets, health fairs, exercise classes and dances.  imageimageimageimage

AKTION Club Clean-Up

From proms to community service…........where were the “Lanier Ladies” on Saturday 28 April 2012? Well they were at Kiwanis Children’s Park in Sanford giving back to their community by helping other volunteers clean up the children’s park. From trash to pine-comb pick-up the ladies spent the morning beautifying this wonderful park for children. And of course what would any type of community service project be without…......of course….....food!!! Once they were finished they were treated to a hot dog, with all the fixings’, lunch!!! Even though the weather was a bit cooler, it was still a good day for volunteer work!! Thank you Jennifer, Beth, Misty, Mary, and Debbie for all your hard work!!!  You all are truly an asset to this community! imageimageimageimageimage

J.O.Y Prom 2012

It is that time of the year for proms!!! And that is just where the “Lanier Ladies” were on Friday night, 27 April 2012, eating, dancing, and photo taking. The J.O.Y Prom was held at Providence Baptist Church in Raleigh this year and there was a great turn out. There were 600 special learning needs adults with 600 escorts in attendance. The evening started with a walk down the red carpet for everyone to the church. The ladies were then treated to getting their hair done and a makeup application, while the men had their shoes shined. Then they were whisked off to the photo booth for pictures of everyone with their best dress, and suit on. The food was on then with an “Around the World” theme, and then the night truly began with, yes of course, DANCING!!! The music was awesome beach music, and of course the Cupid Shuffle, and the Electric Slide. Yes, it was a wonderful spring evening to enjoy a prom, and even though the ladies were quite tired by the end of the night, it was well worth it!!! imageimageimageimageimageimage
