If you missed our Able Buddies NC Family and Friends Night on October 17th, here’s what you missed — it was a spook-tacular evening!
Our theme this month was Halloween, and our amazing decorating committee truly outdid themselves once again. The room was filled with festive touches, from pumpkins to cobwebs, setting the perfect scene for a night of fun and friendship.
We had so many wonderful guests come dressed in costume — everything from Pikachu and ballerinas to Thing 1 and Thing 2, Elphaba, and even a cowboy made an appearance!
One of the highlights of the evening was a special storytime with author Emily Jean Sanders, who read her delightful book “Bubbs in Space.” Everyone loved hearing the story straight from the author herself — thank you, Emily, for sharing your talent and time with us!
Our kitchen crew warmed everyone’s hearts (and bellies!) with delicious, hearty soups and tasty desserts.
A very special thank you goes out to Heather Loughery and Family for sponsoring this month’s event — for the second time this year! Heather has been part of Able Buddies NC since our very first dance, and she continues to bring joy and kindness to every event. We are so grateful for her ongoing support and friendship.
Next month’s theme is FRIENDSGIVING, and we can’t wait to celebrate together again!
