July 2013 Newsletter from Zack's Place                   
Greetings!

Even though June was wet we had a very eventful month and a lot of fun. We are looking forward to seeing the sun break through in July.  We wish you a warm fun summer and hope to see you at Zack's Place soon.
  
June in Review
  
Plenty of fun on a rainy day at the Movies!
                   
  

In June in the mornings we began a new program "Everybody is a writer" with Susan Gabrielle, it is a song writing and music course, we worked on greeting cards, we cooked, visited the library, gardened with Martha and we cleaned up our place.

 

Midday we had lunch together, we did art with Fiona, music movement with Kathleen and Mark, we worked together with Angel, visited Billings Farm and became comfortable with farm animals, we went cycling at Harpoon Brewery with Vermont Adaptive, we made pot holders with Martha, we went golfing with the Women Golfers at Woodstock Country Club and they volunteered to work with our participants one on one. We hosted a Zackleton's cast luncheon, had a baby shower for our friend Stephanie, we visited the Senior Center and performed some songs from our musical and presented the video to them. Yesterday we went swimming at the Britton Farm and the weather held out for us. Today we cancelled Horseback Riding  and went to the movies!
