Spreading Easter Joy: Card Making at Age Connects Café

Today at Age Connects Café, we celebrated the season with a heartwarming and creative session making Easter cards. The room was full of colour, conversation, and care as everyone designed their own unique cards to share with loved ones.

Using a mix of craft materials—stickers, pastels, patterned paper, and more—participants expressed their creativity and embraced the Easter spirit. Some added heartfelt messages, while others focused on spring-themed designs, chicks, bunnies, and flowers.
