SUNDAY FUNDAY

Wiggins Place is dedicated to bringing all types of programming to its' tenants.  This includes inter-generational programming which invites the tenants to bring their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to Wiggins Place events.  

On October 11th Wiggins Place hosted it's second annual Sunday Funday.  Cotton candy, popcorn, make your sundae bar and the one and only Outback Ray was here to entertain and educate children of all ages.  Our tenants and their family members along with staff proved very brave indeed as they touched hissing cockroaches, pet a desert tortoise and cuddled with a super soft chinchilla. It was really fun and we cannot wait for the 3rd annual Sunday Funday!

Wiggins Place Welcomes the Israeli Force Singing Ensemble

Wiggins Place Tenants and Staff were so excited to welcome singers and musicians from the Israeli Ensemble.  These young men and women are so talented and sang so beautifully.

After their performance there was a meet and greet in the Wiggins Place Lobby where everyone who attended had the chance to meet these fine young people and thank them for coming.
