Mishpacha Project: Matza Pizza!

Wiggins Place volunteer extraordinaire, David Markovich, spent one of the last days of Passover   
with our some of our tenants and their families making Kosher for Passover matzo pizza.  The tenants reported having a great deal of fun, and the taste testers reported delicious results.  Thank you, David, for a really wonderful and tasty afternoon!

Casino Night at Wiggins Place

On April 10th Wiggins Place hosted our Annual Casino Night.  It was a real blast with tenants coming down and trying their luck at Casino table games and slot machines.  This year Wiggins Place was fortunate enough to have this year's Casino Night sponsored by the Teen Philanthropy Board.    Thank you to everyone on the Board for a truly wonderful night.

Wiggins Place Artist Appreciation Exhibit

Here at Wiggins Place we have so many talented and gifted people who live here.  It is so inspiring to hear their wonderful stories and see their beautiful works of art.  On Sunday, February 27th Tracy Derschau, Director of Life Enrichment, held an exhibit to showcase these artists so all of Wiggins Place could see the fruits of such sweet, creative labor.  Tenants brought down artwork of all kinds to share: needlepoint, painting, silkscreening, etc.  Now we can share some of it with you.  Enjoy!
