Recently, peer Laurie Slayton has made the move from her family home to another residence. As she made the change, she managed to continue with her creative expression and learning experiences, whether at Perry Wellness Center or at home. She is particularly enjoying doing word searches.

“This word study is something that I can move with me each day,” Laurie explains. “It is fun to do as I find hidden words in the pages of the book.”

In the photo, Laurie relaxes at PWC while studying the pages of her current book of hidden words and graphics.

On an early Monday morning at Perry Wellness Center, all the seats are filled. At one table, a group of four peeers has gathered to catch up on weekend activities and share a friendly game of Hearts. No gambling for money takes place at this table – only the feeling of achievement in winning game. 

Located in the front room of the curriculum building, which was the initial main site of PWC, the table continues the tradition of combining socialization with learning experiences.

The large wind chime pictured here was made by skilled peers who attend Perry Wellness Center. The group planned and constructed a unique design which resides on the front porch entrance to PWC.

The wind chimes; e.g., tin cans only create noise during stronger winds. Even when standing silently, however, the wind chimes’ patriotic colors catch the eye.

One of our biggest supporters at Perry Wellness Center and Rudy’s Happy Patch has long been former Americus Mayor Barry Blount. We took a ride in the wayback machine (well, our photo archives) and found this photo, dating all the way back to June, 2012. Former Mayor Blunt is pictured with peer Rhonda H. and PWC founder/CEO Stuart Perry, checking out summer tomatoes.

Regardless of the date and time of a visit, we always value Barry Blount, as he brings a smile and good thoughts. And a good eye for tomatoes!
