If you join my team you'll be able to see this beautiful greenery anyway you want! |  1st Volunteer Meeting!Meet my first set of Volunteers (left to right): the lovely, Ben Quigley, Kate Wheeler, Me (Ariana Casella),Lucy Naughton, and Alex Ruse. It was a pleasure taking them to the Bertram House for the first time! They got to tour the facility and get a crash course on how to interact with the Dementia patients! |  BINGO!Anyone have B2? Bingo is every residents favorite game, they could play for hours, and we did. We did play for hours. |

We then hung out with the one and only Laurel and accompanied her while doing her favorite task, a puzzle! |  My Advisor and IIts always a fun time meeting with my advisor, Gayle Callis! I love getting her feedback and suggestions on my project :) |  BEADS!Lucy and I hung out with some of our favorite girls, Connie, Jean, Franny, Dorothy, and Trudy, we made bracelets for and with them.

As always, it was a lot of fun! |  Sugar and Spice!The Bertram House not only has residents, but it also has some mascots.

 Bert!Another one of the Bertram House's glorious mascots! Lucky for me all of the cats came to visit me today! |  A Very Awkward SelfieHere is Kate and I taking a selfie on our way-out. A very productive day filled with the biggest Bingo game I've ever had! 8 residents battled for the Bingo prizes today! |  BINGO!

 The Gang is (mostly) all together!Me and 3/4 of my volunteer team spent 4 hours volunteering today! Serving Lunch, playing catch, playing Pictionary, and of course eventually going back to Bingo. |  Lucy and Pictionary!Lucy and I began a game of Pictionary with the residents.
