You and your children will bring smiles to the residents of Eastcastle Place by having an outdoor story time, serving and drinking lemonade and eating cookies.

Description

Join KIC for Lemonade on the Lawn at Eastcastle!

We’ll gather at 10 am for a special intergenerational morning filled with stories, conversation, and connection. Children and our grandfriends will spend time together by the gazebo enjoying books, lemonade, and meaningful interaction in a relaxed outdoor setting.

We look forward to sharing a fun and memorable morning together!

 

Activities

Your family will be reading with residents and serving lemonade and cookies on the lawn by the gazebo. The space is fenced in and the kids are welcome to run around and do cartwheels in between reading stories with their new grandfriends.

 

Impact
Connecting and engaging with adults from other generations boosts the social and emotional health for everyone involved by fostering empathy in children, reducing isolation in seniors, and strengthening a sense of belonging, purpose, and community spirit.
