German Centre’s Annual Family Day was a tremendous success. Residents, families, staff, and members of the community came together for an afternoon filled with laughter, music, and fun. Guests enjoyed pony rides, face painting, balloon creations, cotton candy, popcorn, snow cones, and delicious food fresh off the grill.
"I'd like to extend a special thank you to our Dietary Director, Mike Millard," said Daphne Guey, ADC-MC, Director of Campus Life Enrichment at German Centre. "Mike and his dedicated team provided a delicous meal, inlcuded many barbeque favorites. Thank you is also in order for entertainer Tom Madden, who kept the celebration lively with wonderful music throughout the day."
With perfect weather and smiling faces all around, Family Day 2026 created lasting memories and celebrated the strong sense of community that makes German Centre so special.
