Seniors Get Creative During October Sarah’s Fund Day
Sevier County Seniors Let Their Artistic Side Shine During Monthly Sarah’s Fund Day.
Seniors in Sevier County got the chance to express their creativity with a fun art project during this month’s Sarah’s Fund Day, held October 12 at The Dolly Parton My People Senior Activity Center. Each Sarah’s Fund Day offers seniors the opportunity to enjoy a full day of fun activities, food and fellowship.
To kick off the day of activities, seniors were treated to a rock painting class, with all of the large stones, paints and glazes provided. Everyone enjoyed bringing out their artistic side to decorate their stones, which they took home with them at the end of the day. After lunch, a member of the Senior Center played the keyboard and entertained everyone with familiar tunes before finishing off the day with an ice cream social.
For many seniors, the opportunities to do something outside of their homes or assisted living facilities are few and far between. Sarah’s Fund is glad to help provide monthly activities and assistance to Sevier County Seniors, keeping them happy, healthy and active.
