For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering
If I really should be 'there'

A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away

In order to receive a refund, you must notify Activities within 24 hours of the outing.
All outings are weather permitting and based on ticket sales. When going on a shop- ping outing, you must be responsible to return to the bus at the correct time. It is not fair to the other residents to have to wait for just one person. We will allow 10 minutes be- fore leaving and you will be responsible to find your own way back.
