Through our award winning Celebrations program, in 2012 we are celebrating the Music of Our Times! Each month we showcase a different genre of music that helped shape American popular culture. We offer new learning and reminiscing opportunities, supported by the six dimension of wellness. This year we celebrate the songs, styles, and memories that make up the Music of Our Times.
