  • Send a Hug: Craft a hug that you can send to anyone special, whether near or far!
  • Tech How-To Station: Learn how to FaceTime with loved ones far away, use Zoom to connect virtually, and discover how to follow and interact with your loved ones on social media.
  • Movement Station: Get moving with a samba lesson perfect for anyone who loves to dance! All ages are welcome, and chairs will be available for those who prefer to move while seated.

Grandparents and grandkids are encouraged to visit together or independently. Join in the festivities with your family and friends! If your loved ones live elsewhere, stop by to make them a special gift and learn about tools that can help you connect with them from afar. Craft kits will also be available; pick one up to bring to your family to enjoy together!
