Our Veterans visiting the farm
Once at month weather permitting we have our great Veterans out to enjoy a day at the farm, meet the horses and enjoy the fresh air and lunch. We also have a wagon ride that takes them throughout the property. Logan Center is kind enough to allow us to continue our wagon rides which are a lot fun. We thank our Veterans and are so happy when they visit, the horses love them as well.

The summer camp at Vinceremos has been a great success this year. Vinceremos is a great charity, located in Wellington, FL.
Hannah and friends helped 75 kids by providing grants for children from many backgrounds and varying abilities. They had a great time enjoying the outdoors and caring for animals. One thing they definitely have in common: they love horses and the camp!
Welcome back to Camp Sharing Meadows! We’re so excited to have you back at camp in person this July at our first-ever day camp! Attached, you’ll find an invitation, pre-registration, application, COVID-19 liability form, and medication sheets. A lot of information about camp has changed, so please read through all these documents thoroughly and contact me if you have any questions. Please fill these out and return them as soon as possible because camp slots are on a first-come, first-served basis. Don’t forget to attach a forever stamp AND an additional ounce(s) stamp when you return them through the mail!

Dear Friends,
We hope all is well for you and your families as you prepare for the holidays. Very exciting things have been going on at Hannah and Friends and we would love to share them with you. We have sold the land and buildings at Hannah and Friends Neighborhood to Logan Center. We are consolidating our two charities into one, dissolving Hannah and Friends Neighborhood while keeping Hannah and Friends Inc.
We are very proud of what has been created by Hannah and Friends Neighborhood and all the people who have worked for us, volunteered for us, and donated to us. Without your help we could never have done this and we especially needed God and Mary’s help as well. We feel like they are always watching over our special people and land.
Logan Center has been in the community for many decades and we know that they will do a fantastic job of continuing their services, programs, camps, and — most importantly — further growth. They will really take it to another level.
As for Hannah and Friends Inc., we will continue and expand our Grant Programs. We will start new and exciting horse therapies. We are super excited for this and feel like we can help in different and much needed ways. This past fall, we had a day for the Veterans at the barn and it was amazing. Such a great day for them, our barn managers, and myself. We had so much fun showing them the grounds, having lunch with them, and of course introducing them to the horses. We plan on continuing this and creating a program for them this spring. We would also like to start our program for the residents and day programmers again as well once the weather gets better.
Thank you for your support and a special shout out has to go to Dick Nussbaum who has volunteered countless hours to make this happen and many other hours on other endeavors for Hannah and Friends. Also to Kayle Sexton who has run Hannah and Friends for the last bunch of years — creating programs, installing the day program, and, most importantly, has been a friend for every special person involved with Hannah and Friends. Kayle will continue on with Logan and we know she will continue being amazing for the Logan Center!
Best Wishes,
Maura & Charlie Weis
