She’s back at it again! 🐥🐰
One of our amazing W.O.L.F.E. participants has returned with another creative masterpiece - a brand new Peep diorama to share with the GLIIHC team. We look forward to this every year, and it never disappoints!
Moments like this are what make W.O.L.F.E. so special! Creativity, connection, and community all in one space. We’re so grateful for the thoughtfulness and joy our elders bring each week.
W.O.L.F.E. (Work Out Low Fat Elders) is a free, year-round program for Native Elders & friends 45+ that creates space to socialize, move, and learn about nutrition in a supportive environment.

Thank you to all who attended our last Seed Starting Gathering on March 10th and helped plant the seeds for our garden. The seeds that were planted are growing strong and fast!
We hope you can join us for another gathering where we will be focusing on up potting from the containers we started in to larger ones. This is a great reminder that as we all grow, we might need to leave things behind and find new space to help us focus on what’s best.
Our 2nd Seed Starting Gathering will be held on Monday, April 6th from 1-2:30pm in the 2nd floor Community Room. All supplies will be provided. No experience or RSVP needed, all ages welcome!
