 The UK Pike County Cooperative Extension Office received the Creative Aging and Lifelong Learning Grant in January to begin their arts program at the Myers Tower. The arts program gives the residents at Myers exposure to various creative mediums and a creative outlet. We were talking to some people and you know like they say that maybe they get out to Walmart or something or you know they're in the motorized wheelchairs and it's not easy to get anywhere on those except you know with the transportation to Walmart and things. So just bringing things in here and bringing things to them is just a really important part of not just to me but like you know UK's mission to bring things to you know anybody that's you know disabled elderly and they're I mean you know they're just a great group to work with and I've got to know so many of them over the past couple months that you know if we were to not do it anymore I would really miss them.
