PACE Paint Parties!
Tiffany Andrews-Franklin, InnovAge PACE partnered with Community Resources to facilitate paint
parties at Ashe Manor, Spratley House and Pinecroft Apartments. Tiffany briefly discussed the
services PACE provides that help seniors age in place. She provided all of the supplies as well as
a hearty snack. Residents were given some basic instructions and assistance while painting, but
were otherwise left to let their creative juices flow. Some participants quietly concentrated during
the event while others talked and laughed. What was clear was that everyone had a great time!
NNPL is Always Trying Something Different
The Outreach Department at Newport News Public
Library continues to expand and diversify its
enrichment programming for residents. In addition to
providing opportunities for residents to check out and
return books during visits, outreach staff also offer
engaging and interactive activities designed to
encourage participation and social connection. In
April, participants enjoyed a lively game of Spring
Bingo. Seniors received bingo cards featuring spring-
themed images, while staff members drew matching
picture cards from a deck and announced each image
for participants to locate on their cards. Once a
participant completed a row, they called out “Bingo!”.
The activity created a fun and inclusive atmosphere,
with
participants
demonstrating
kindness
and
community spirit by sharing prizes with others once
they had won more than twice.
