2. Sharing the love
In honor of the birth of England’s new prince,
Touchmark hosted the Royal Baby Shower to
benefit Nokomis Child Care Centers. Touchmark
team members, residents, and the public donated
items, like paper towels, diapers, wipes, toys,
craft items, and clothing for infants to 5-year-olds.
The group also presented checks totaling $245 to
Nokomis. Resident Vi Halvorson knitted baby hats
and booties, and Bob Jordheim, MD, donated a
flatbed cart of items for the Royal Baby Shower.
