Jean Hinton Rosner Memorial Work Day

Work Day happens twice a year: fall and spring.

As Work Program Director Lies Pasterkamp said, "I've been doing Work Days for 19 years and we've never had anything other than pizza for lunch. I like this!" The downside was a lot of tryptophan-induced sluggishness for the second half of the day. But it was worth it!
