Richard, a resident of Georgetowne Place, had a special request for his Tree of Dreams, one that had been on his heart for 50 years. He had always dreamed of attending the Fantasy of Lights show, a magical display he had never been able to experience.

To make the occasion even more memorable, Richard’s closest friends joined him for the special outing. The bus, filled with fellow residents, was alive with excitement and anticipation as they all shared in the joy of Richard’s Tree of Dreams. It was a heartwarming sight, with everyone eager to celebrate this long-awaited moment with Richard. Thanks to the thoughtful efforts of the team, Richard’s dream came true, creating a cherished memory that he will never forget. Great job to the team for making this incredible experience possible!
