Lois Harrison, a Villa Gardens Resident, is ready for her close-up! She is a reader for the Read Aloud Program, which provides a space for residents to select their favorite poems, excerpts from diaries about travel or key life moments, fiction, non-fiction and read them aloud for the group. This group normally meets on the last Thursday evening of the Month in Villa Vista, but has transitioned to a virtual format! The readings are recorded and will be available on YouTube, so stay tuned! #readalound #readaloudprogram #storytelling #storytime #seniorliving #community
