Sometimes in cold, winter months we need a little pick me up. We will use our time together to make positivity rocks to place throughout the community. Bring your creative ideas to help brighten the days of others. This support group is offered as a partnership between Prairiewoods and Unity Point Hospice. It is free and includes all art supplies. Registration is required by the previous Friday. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2018-04-28 19:00:00 -0500
