Hey Everyone,
I was just wondering if the flu pandemic has affected your activities for the
holidays?
At our facility we have not had any children's groups in since September. We
will have trick or treaters but they will be given their treats outdoors. It
doesn't even feel like Halloween with out the kids. I worry we may not be
allowed to have the children in at Christmastime. What is Christmas without
Children?
Anyone else being affected?
Kris
