Many items were put on the schedule for the June 27, 28, 2025 reunion but more ideas and volunteers are still needed.

Approximately two years ago at the Akron Care Center, a project was started to create a Sensory Room. A Sensory Room is an area dedicated with many objects used to relax or stimulate individuals such as: bright lights, a lifelike dog, three cats, a baby, kinetic sand, tools, aquarium, and much more. After receiving donations and fundraising for the room, care center employees gathered ideas and purchased items.
