GEMS Service Project~ Assisted-Living Center







The GEMS girls did their semi-monthly service project at the assisted living center this week.  They sang to all of the residents, and then, they sang "Happy Birthday" to all of the people with March birthdays.  They have a special happy birthday song they sing.  It goes like this:

"Happy Birthday to you,
We thank God for you,
May the Lord bless and keep you,
This happy year through!"
After the birthday song, it was time for cake and juice.  The girls ran around to all of the tables to make sure everyone received a piece of cake, and then cleaned up afterwards. 

We sat around chatting with the residents, and then a few people hit the dance floor while a resident played the piano.  Great times!
