Your September update from the Center of Hope
This month’s issue features a variety of participant activities, meet our Participant Employee of the Month, learn more about a new grant the Center received, and more.
A month full of fun activities
Enjoying the pavilion at a local park and making our peanut butter spent grain dog biscuits are just a few of the fun things we have done. Not to mention bowling and appreciating our favorite Guinea Pig pets.
The hot dog cooking challenge
We had our first ever cooking challenge and it was a blast! Each group got buns and hot dogs and had to use those items in a different way, and wow did they ever get creative. From casseroles to pizza to mashed potato-topped dogs, our judges tried it all. Great job to all those who participated.
