As an introduction to IONA, i got to spend the full morning in the IONA Wellness Center. It was such a beautiful space and i got talking to a man called 'Bill' for quite a long time about his life as an Architect. It was fascinating as he designed most of DC!!!
We then discussed relevant USA News and took part in a exercise class. Half of the group ventured out to the Botanical Gardens whilst the other half did some flower arranging. With such a beautiful autumnal day - it was the perfect activity!!
I spoke quite closely with alot of the day center guests and they all said they enjoyed being there and spending time with each other - mentioning that there was always something to be done!!
I hope Bill can put some of his Architectual skills into practice through Art Programs, sharing his love of creativity and design....
