Scavenger Hunt
Let's have a little F-U-N together! The COA is going to
host a FREE Virtual Scavenger
Hunt through Zoom on Tuesday, December 15th at 1 p.m.
To participate, you'll need a
computer or device with a camera, so we can see each other,
and the Zoom app.
This is how it will work...I'll
ask you a question about a common item, and then you'll have
to go find the item somewhere in
your house. Points will be given
to the person who returns with
the item the quickest. Play alone,
or with other members in your
household. We will play for approximately 30 minutes, and the
person with the most points will
be crowned the winner! If you
would like to join the scavenger
hunt, call the Center by Wednesday, December 8th at 376-7051
to sign-up. We will need your
email address. A Zoom link will
then be sent to everyone who
signed-up. Come join in the fun!
