Maryann and David mixing up individual mini cakes to be delivered to a local group home! Members of No Limits make and deliver goods to an area group home every month.
Don’t they look “mmm mmm good”?!
Rachel explaining the Marcus Alert Community Input Survey to No Limits members. This survey is very important in assisting in the development of a behavioral health crisis system in Virginia. We encourage anyone who has input on behavioral health crisis services in their community to complete this survey using the following link: https://virginiadbhds.wufoo.com/forms/marcus-alert-community-input-survey?fbclid=IwAR2hekYZL25_Rlws0y1WU1n_YBmSujhBxASqo2ofODYs-CP1Pq-5Z7DdhKY

Our camellia plant enjoyed the rain this week. We think that “she” was “drinking up all the rain”!

During Virtual No Limits this week we enjoyed a nutrition lesson with Tonya from the Virginia Cooperative Extension’s SNAP-Ed Program. Zel says “it was entertaining!”
We caught Emma off guard!
No Limits’ Case Coordinator, Kyle, got to visit with Steve this week. We are so glad Kyle was able to visit with you Steve! We miss you!

No Limits celebrated its 20th anniversary this week.  We enjoyed take out lunches from the Sage Diner in Onley.  Zel, Angela, David, and Emma say “it was really good!”  Below you can see two pictures of the awesome food that members of No Limits enjoyed for the Anniversary Lunch!

CL is loving his new NFL inspired pants!
Spray on Kyle!
Zel and Rachel reorganized one of the No Limits Activity rooms. Zel says “Team work makes the dream work!”

Kyle helped to till the Pollinator Garden. Thanks Kyle!
Kyle cool maxin’ and relaxin’ after tilling the garden.
Moving the garden boxes was hard but important work!
The volunteer organization YouthWorks painted this on our garden box a few summers ago. We look forward to working with YouthWorks again one day after the world is a bit safer!

Zel does a fantastic job of caring for our hens (with help from friends too!)
Spring WILL come! It’s already peeping through in our gardens.
Working on cards for community outreach. These cards are very important to our members who have been shut-in during the pandemic.
It’s starting to get a little crowded as folks return to No Limits so we had to do a little redecorating! Yeah, let’s put the sewing machines in Rachel’s office!
Thanks CL and Zel for doing the heavy lifting! Don’t worry, that is a stuffed animal and not a real cat! It was a gift from our friend Terrance.
CL took a rest after all that work!
Men at work. Wait until Emma sees her office on Monday! We need some records (old school vinyl) for the record player Kyle donated!
Angela and David grabbing some coffee before the day gets started.
If you have been to No Limits in the last 8 years or so, you may be familiar with our inflatable dinosaur. He moves around, but as of today he’s back in Rachel’s office, guarding the sewing machines!
