Lorien Harmony Hall's courtyard just got a summer makeover with a new grill, pizza oven, and patio furniture, setting the stage for endless fun! To kick things off, they hosted a sizzling employee cookout, where everyone enjoyed mouthwatering hamburgers, hotdogs, and a smorgasbord of toppings and sides. They also celebrated by giving team members the chance to do "wheel spins", which is a way Lorien likes to celebrate perfect attendance, being on time, and being a good employee! One lucky winner ended up taking home $250! Plus, they celebrated the birthday of our beloved COO, Wayne Brannock, who's been a cornerstone of our Lorien team for years. Summer fun and celebrations are in full swing at Harmony Hall! 🎉🍔🍕#LorienHarmonyHall #AssistedLiving #MemorialDayWeekend #SeniorActivities
