The Satellite club started "Monday Marbles" at Ascension Via Christi last Monday. We had 10 residents and 8 Satellite members participate. A great time was had by all.
Our Satellite Rotarians had a beauty spa day at Lake Point Assisted Living. It was a wonderful afternoon doing nails, facials, hair, make up and an abundance of camaraderie.
