2018-08-21 05:46:09 PM koryphil maybe some of them but my sons football teams goes every Friday to the nursing home. its so good for the players to do something nice for others. the cheer leaders do some cheers with the residents too. The football players have to introduce themselves and tell what position they play.

2018-08-21 06:17:07 PM kathyhughes the beds were always institutional white and it would liven up their environment
