The Gang has a new project idea in mind. We felt the need to help the senior citizens of New Palestine get more integrated into society. We will do this by creating a student section at various sports but the catch is that these students will be senior residents!! We would have the Woodland Terrace staff bus over some of the residents to watch some of the boys' and girls' basketball games. In addition we would also bring student athletes over to Woodland Terrace in order to interact with the residents. The idea is to connect the students and residents in order to let the residents know who they are cheering for. These interacts can be anything from playing games to creating crafts together. We had to get started by making a meeting with the people of Woodland Terrace in New Pal. It was very difficult to communicate with them because they didn't always like to respond back, but finally we got a meeting set. At this meeting we had made and printed out a powerpoint in order for the staff to get a visual idea of what is going on. We talked for about an hour and finally selected about 3 boys' and 2 girls' basketball games to start out with. We hope that the first one is a success so we can see about adding more games to the list.
