It was a very nice room but I knew it would be too small when I first saw it. As people drifted in, it didn’t take long to fill the room up; then people started dragging in chairs from an adjacent room. Then the staff collapsed the portable wall on the left and doubled the size of the room and it was still a tight fit. I was speaking at a retirement center in Raleigh, NC about the history and evolution of the outhouse.
One of the neat things about making this presentation to an older audience is that they can relate to the topic since many of them had real world experience with outhouses. We had a great, engaging discussion of outhouses. I appreciate the staff at the Cardinal going to great lengths to plan stimulating programs to keep their residents mentally sharp and engaged.
