The Women's with Disabilities Peer Support Group enjoyed a fun-filled June meeting at Meadowbrook Lanes. After gathering for delicious refreshments and great conversation, it was time to hit the lanes! Everyone had a wonderful time bowling, with plenty of laughter, cheering, friendly competition, and even a few strikes along the way. The event was a great opportunity to connect, have fun, and enjoy each other's company. If you are interested in learning more about the Women's Group or would like to attend a future meeting, please contact Heather or Marlayna at 401-738-1013.
