October/November Party

We had a great party for our October and November birthday kids on

Tuesday, November 10!

Not only were we able to provide a birthday celebration for Heaven, Sean and Steven, but we were able to celebrate the birthdays of Xavier and Montaesha, new residents at Genesis. The group enjoyed fabulous entertainment from Mr. Steve at Never Grow Up Magic, a terrific Elmo cake, and wonderful gifts donated by supporters of The Birthday Club. Please check out the pictures from our party HERE.
