DEAR FRIENDS,
Its a joy to see the summer sun finally beginning to arrive here in the NW! It looks beautiful streaming through all the lovely spaces and windows at The Restoration House! We have wonderful news and pictures to share with you from this last month here at the house! We have been so blessed by all the activity, rooms and spaces continuing to be “fussed on”, covered patio spaces, Restoration Gardens and outdoor fireplace area coming to life. Thank you to Page Rotschy of Rotschy Inc. in Vancouver, for the generous gift of rock for our fire pit and garden pathways!
Our Respite Care Coordinator, Kris Close, has been welcoming new women through the doors this last month. There has been a hopeful response from the women who have experienced a respite retreat…..and they are beginning to spread the word with others. It has been wonderful to see the ladies using the art therapy studio, resting and journaling in comfy spaces on the patios, meeting others on similar journeys and pressing into their healing at the house. We are in awe of this gift we have been given to share with the healing community and are so excited to watch it grow! Kris is continuing to also grow our volunteer base, so if you have a service, a skill or just a willing heart to offer, please contact Kris at kcloser2us@gmail.com to learn more about volunteer opportunities at The Restoration House!
YARD AND GARDEN EVENT AND BBQ!
Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 24th (11:00 AM-2:00)! We will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs, enjoying the summer sun and sharing this festive BBQ with all those who would like to stop by and offer a donation of a hanging basket, flowers to plant, a bag of potting soil or other yard/garden gift. Our gardeners will be spending the day creating beauty in our outdoor spaces . We are excited to share this time together as a community as we continue to make this environment extra special for the women who will come for self-care respite on their healing journey!
