Dear Friends,
This past weekend, Miss Florida Sunshine's Outstanding Teen, Siobhan Gale, and I visited the Carpenter's House in Lakeland. The Carpenter's House is an independent living facility for the elderly.
Siobhan and I took a tour of the facility. It was absolutely beautiful! We stopped and visited with a few of the residents and we even got to watch a few of them play Wii bowling! It was such a joy to watch them!
After the tour, Siobhan and I spoke to some of the residents about our platforms, our experiences as titleholders, our future goals, and about the Miss America System. We also sang for them.
Although my C.A.R.E. platform has taken me to various facilities, I had never been to an independent living facility. It was neat to learn about how they differ from others. The residents of the Carpenter's House were very welcoming! It was a wonderful experience.
