March Activities

***I want to remind all guardians/parents/shared living providers that you can visit programs anytime you want. If you would to do an acitivity with your person, you can. I only ask that you give me a heads up that you are coming. Either email me at kdufour@stjohnvalleyassociates.org or call me at 207-728-7197. This is to know how may people will be here. HCBS guidelines want our indiivduals to get out and explore their comminuties more, but they also want the community to come spend time here at center. Individuals already know that the can invite whomever they want to the center, but I also wanted to make you aware of this as well.***
