Thanks to EngAGE Program Director Henry for #MakingADifference and sharing this story.
Miss Ivory Is a longtime resident at one of our EngAGE communities. Recently, upon learning about the EngAGE 25th anniversary milestone, she expressed to me her adoration for all the EngAGE painting classes she has taken over the years (instructed by Meloney and now by me). She said that painting helps her relax, gives her joy, and is her favorite creative outlet. She’s kept all her paintings and decorates her apartment with them. Miss Ivory also shared that many of her family members have requested her artworks as heirlooms to remember her always.
