recreate. Participants can engage in a variety or activities such
as cards, billiards, board games, bingo, reading, or just
socializing with others. No lunch will be served nor will there
be any transportation on Saturdays.
Frey stated that this program was sponsored by the Mental Health
Center in their building in which 25 people participated. But due
to cuts in funding they could not sponsor it anymore. The
