Stay Safe! Stay In Touch! | Carolyn L. Farrell Foundation

Participant Megan and her beautiful under-the-sea art project

from last summer led by Artist-in Residence, Richard Skerl.

We are so grateful to be able to connect and stay in touch with each of you. We continue to hope that everyone remains well in the safety and comfort of their homes. Since this time remains extremely challenging for all, we wish to offer the time to still be together, but just in a different manner. Last week we began an online Zoom program. This week we are planning on extending the program to two sessions. First on Tuesday, we will offer a music program with music therapist Beckie Tweedle. On Friday, Dr. Charlie Farrell will host a Support Group followed by an art program shared by our Artistic Director, Jerry Devis. You will receive separate email invitations for each program. To join us, check your email and follow the prompt. Click on and you can participate. Please check in close to 2 pm. Any questions or comments, please contact us at: info@farrellfoundation.com
