As everyone is working to support the mask mandate, folks in Chartiers Center’s ATF are getting involved and making their own tie-dye version.  The program is open and everyone is wearing their newly designed masks.

Chartiers’ IDD Program Exploring New Adventures

Recently the IDD Program, located in Dormont, has been very busy integrating community opportunities and exploring their creative side.   Below are pictures from the Memorial Day picnic. Each of the games were adapted by the staff and the individuals helped with the finished products. Who wouldn’t want a chance to play Jenga with 12 pack pop boxes, or play Kerplunk and mini-golf. The smiles tell the story!
