Advancing Abilities Ross Day Program

09/04/2026

❤️ Another beautiful day at Advancing Abilities Ross Day Program! ❤️
Today was filled with smiles, friendship, creativity, and new adventures! We ventured out to the Waverly YMCA for a workout session and lunch, then got creative making beautiful beaded necklaces. 📿 We checked in on our garden to see how everything is growing, enjoyed a fun cooking class, and cooled off with a swim at Deer Creek Lodge. 🏊‍♀️🌱🍳
And, of course, we had to end the day at one of our favorite spots—Antique Emporium—where the pinball machines are always a hit! 🎮❤️
It’s days like today that remind us that it’s not just about the activities—it’s about the memories we make, the friendships we build, and the joy we find in every moment. Every adventure, big or small, is another opportunity to live life to the fullest! 🥰✨ Chillicothe Antique Emporium Deer Creek Lodge, Ohio Pike County YMCA

Exploring, Smiles & Sweet Moments! 🌟
Today was all about getting out, exploring, and having fun! 🎉 We made a stop at one of our favorite pinball spots, Antique Emporium, enjoyed lunch at the park, and stopped in to visit our friends at First Capital. Then we headed back and quenched our thirst with a refreshing cup of peach tea! 🍑🧋
Evening Services had their own adventure! They headed to Portsmouth to explore the beautiful mural wall, enjoyed dinner together, and finished the evening with a fun little mini photo shoot! 📸❤️

🌟 Evening Services: Exploring, Learning & Creating! 🌟
Evening Services was off exploring tonight! 🚌📚 We started with our Know It All activity, where we learned all about masking feelings and what those emotions can look like.
Then we headed out to explore our local Chillicothe Library before enjoying dinner at the park. 🌳🍽️
Once we got back, we jumped right into our cooking class and wrapped up our evening with something delicious before heading home! 👩‍🍳❤️
Another evening filled with learning, exploring, community, and meaningful experiences! ✨

Advocacy, Recognition & Fun! 🎳❤️
We hosted our August SOAG meeting right here at Day Program, and boy, was it a full house! There’s nothing better than creating opportunities for our individuals to learn how to speak up, advocate for themselves, and have their voices heard. 💙
A huge thank-you to Kelli for reaching out to us and allowing us to host these important meetings. We were also incredibly proud to see some of our very own individuals recognized and presented with their ribbons for their Ross County Fair entries! 🏆🎀 What an amazing accomplishment!
And while one group was putting advocacy into action, another group was busy throwing some strikes at Shawnee Bowling Alley! 🎳
We love watching our individuals shine! ✨💙 SOAG Southern Ohio Advocacy Group Shawnee Lanes Advancing Abilities Day Program
