Intergenerational Month Comes to a Close at Willson House

intergenerational
September is known for many things including the start of the new school year, Labor Day, and National Cat Day.  For us at Willson House we celebrate National Intergenerational Month all of September by having special events that encourage the interaction of our seniors with the children in Willson House Child Development Center. We share the belief with Donna Butts, director of Generations United, who said, "When the wisdom of age is mixed with the energy of youth, it creates a powerful combination that benefits everyone".

Whether it's by sharing a special event like the Annual Tea Party, storytelling, meals, musical performances, reading, or taking a walk in the sunshine together, there are so many opportunities for our seniors to spend time with children.  However, we don't just do these things during Intergenerational Month.  It's a daily occurrence for us at Willson House. 

We love visitors and encourage you to come by to check out our programs and see how our generations learn and grow together every day of the month.  Call Annette at 503.585.6511 to have lunch with us and take a tour.
