And before we’re too far past the celebration, let’s take a moment to acknowledge Halloween at Villa Anaheim. Site Leader Nicole Galardo reports: “After many hours of decorating and planning, we successfully pulled off a fun and different kind of party for our residents. I was unable to attend, but [EngAGE V.P.] Nancy Goodhart filled in for me and took some great pictures. I provided the cake and worked right up until the day before putting the final touches on the Haunted House. It was a festive presentation with a fog machine and black lights, and Halloween themed music.

The kids actually sang a couple of songs for the seniors, which was an unexpected surprise! After the kids left the Potluck began.”
