got green?

Metacare Inc. does!  Are you or a loved one (50 years and above) in need of an assisted living facility?  If so, come share in the "green" by visiting Metacare Inc. during their Open House on Sunday, March 25 between 2:00pm-4:00pm.  The Open House will provide you the opportunity to meet the staff, tour the facility and enjoy live entertainment by local children.  In keeping with the "green" theme, the Tir Na N'Og Gaelic Dance & Music, a group of Irish dancers are scheduled to entertain the community and residents from 2:30pm-3:30pm.  Two local Rasnick sisters, Hadley and Shelby, will also be volunteering their time to perform some Irish melodies on the piano.  You don't want to miss their rendition of "Danny Boy!"  Beverages and finger foods will be available.  Please RSVP to Victoria Rodriguez at 810-678-3503 or info@metacareincafc.com by March 21 if you'd like to join!
