Winter may not be completely over, but luckily, PARO has lots of ways for you to stay connected with your peers from the comfort of your own home.
Your local GC reps have continued to find fun and novel activities that residents can participate in virtually to relieve stress, build resilience, and support one another during this exceptionally challenging time. We’ve rounded up just a few of the upcoming events planned for the next month – with many more to come!
New events are being announced regularly – keep an eye on your details for fun events coming up at your local site.
As always, details about how to participate (including signing up) will have been sent to you by email. If you have any questions, you can always email us.
See you there!
