PostScript Outreach

On Thursday, we kicked off our first Staycation of the summer, and this time, we traveled to Peru! 🎉

We had someone come in and teach us all about this beautiful country and the culture while making cute alpacas for our project.

To top off a great night, we enjoyed a delicious meal of Peruvian chicken, potatoes, corn, and rice pudding!

It was a wonderful way to start the summer. 🌞

As always, thank you to everyone who helped! ❤️

A couple of weeks ago, we partnered with Artspace for a wonderful watercolor painting activity at Sir Walter Apartments! 🎨

The artist-in-residence, Adrianne Huang, led the group in a really fun project that let them tap into their creative side by making watercolor magnets!

Thank you again to everyone involved! 💞

Last night, PostScript Outreach turned the ballroom at Sir Walter Apartments into a joyful Cinco de Mayo celebration filled with music, culture, creativity, and connection! 🎉🪇💃

The room was overflowing with laughter, dancing, creativity, and meaningful connections between new and old friends. Nights like this remind us how beautiful it is to celebrate the unique cultures, stories, and gifts each person brings to our community. We love ALL our volunteers who make this possible! ❤️

Karen Cook led everyone in making maracas so we could keep rhythm with the incredible music and dancing provided by Folkloric Ballet, Latin Pride, and Soul.

At PostScript, we believe connection grows when we gather around the table, learn from one another, and celebrate together. Thank you to everyone who made this special evening possible!

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo this week with our residents and special guest, Folkloric Ballet Latin Pride and Soul.

It was so much fun for everyone💃

Can you identify the resident under the sombrero? Ha ha! 😆

Stay tuned until Monday for the full story... 🎉

Last Thursday's Connection was so much fun! ✨

It kicked off with friends arriving early, laughing, playing, and soaking up the joy of just being together. Before the event even officially began, the room was already buzzing!

We enjoyed an amazing meal, generously prepared by Amy Jones and friends from Christ Fellowship Church in Cary. There was so much delicious food, but the best part of the gathering was the warmth you could feel around every table. 🍽️

After dinner, Craig Smitley led a lively round of “Would You Rather?” The answers were great, and it was the perfect reminder that simple moments often create the best memories. 😄

We ended the night with movement during a fitness session led by our volunteer, Aamir Castelino. With his PT training at East Carolina University and a whole lot of enthusiasm, Aamir had everyone moving and laughing. 💪

Good food, great friends, big laughs, and plenty of joy. That’s exactly what PostScript is all about. 💛

A special Happy Birthday 🎂 to a special friend who came back to visit us today on her 80th birthday 🎉
We love you Ms Earline and wish you many more!!! 💖🌷💖🌷💖🌷💖🌷

Thank you so much to Cru at NC State University for swinging by to help us clean out our storage and organize our art supplies! 🎉

Every little bit counts, and we are so grateful! 🙌

We had such a fun evening at Sir Walter Apartments!

We enjoyed a delicious dinner of baked potatoes and chili.

Afterwards, we also played a moral dilemmas game where everyone had to choose just one option in each scenario, which led to some really great conversation. Afterwards, we had a photo challenge game and worked to spot the differences between two pictures.

To wrap up the evening, Maggie led our craft time and taught us how to paint watercolor bees, beehives, and fish. It was such a creative and joy-filled night! 🎨🐝🐟

P.S. Tonight was the highest attendance number we have had so far at The Connection! 🙌

It was such a fun evening for everyone! 💚

We enjoyed a delicious meal generously donated by Whole Foods Market on Wade Avenue and wanted to give a huge thank you to Manager Natasha for her kindness and generosity. The residents truly loved it!🍽️

We also had several table games going, and many of our younger volunteers spent time helping residents with phone questions and tech issues. 📱

It was a night full of laughter, connection, and learning more about our neighbors. 😊

So grateful for everyone who helped make the evening so special!

He is risen! 🌿

“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!” — Luke 24:5–6

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter spent with friends and family.
