Life Options on Tap 2026 was a huge success! The Life Options (LO) team created a beautiful bar setup, while our creative art group designed an eye-catching bar sign. The L.O. group, including both staff and participants worked together to purchase the items used in the pub and helped create the variety of festive mocktails featured on our menu. (Of course, a few moments were spent discussing that all should drink responsibly, even mocktails!)

The beautiful “Commons”  area was transformed into a lively and engaging pub scene. Classes rotated throughout the day, with some groups participating in paint-and-sip activities, while others focused on building social skills and practicing money management through the purchase of beverages using “funny money.”

The energy stayed high with karaoke and dancing, adding even more excitement and fun to the experience. Smiles could be seen on the faces of staff and participants alike, a true testament to the success of the day. There are already exciting conversations about the next big event!

Cheers to Cherie Crosdale, the new Life Options Program Coordinator! After doing a spectacular job as the Coordinator of Group Site-Based Day Hab, Cherie recently started in this new spot and has truly gotten things off to a terrific start!
