Before summer ends, we need to give a huge shout-out to all of the folks who volunteered during our kids programs and summer lunch storytime programs.
Youth ages 18 and younger were able to receive free lunches in Dykshoorn Park Monday-Friday in June and July, thanks to Mandan Public School District. With the help of over 16 volunteers, kids were able to hear a story and/or participate in an activity at 35 of those 38 lunches. Many of our guest readers volunteered on multiple occasions throughout the summer. In addition to this, we had many other members of the community volunteering at other kid programming events, and many who are not pictured below.

THANK YOU to every one of you!

💛 Monday Reminder

Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sometimes it’s a workout that challenges you.

Sometimes it’s slowing down long enough to breathe.

Sometimes it’s stretching your body after a long day.

And sometimes…

It’s simply getting outside, moving, laughing, and enjoying a summer evening with other people.

There is no one right way to take care of yourself.

The important part is that you keep choosing you.

So this week, don’t worry about doing everything.

Choose one thing that makes you feel a little stronger.

A little lighter.

A little more alive.

And if you’re looking for that one thing…

🌿 You’re invited to join us tomorrow!
