MONDAY, 4/27 - FRIDAY, 5/1: TEDDY BEAR HUNT: PLACE YOUR BEARS BY SATURDAY 4/25, LIVE HUNT STARTS MONDAY 4/27

We’re sending The Cove’s kids on a Bear-in-a-Window Hunt. Help us give them a beary fun adventure, by putting a teddy bear on display in your window by April 25th (and send us an email so we can put your bear on the map). This hunt is inspired by Michael Rosen’s popular children’s book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. If your child wants to join the Hunt, register at community@thecoveattiburon.com and we will email you a Bear Hunt map to mark off teddy bear sightings around the community! See more details here.

Many of the great ideas in the Community Care Portal have come from our residents. We'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions for new shelter-in-place activities and resources as well! So please share your videos or photos of fun activities that you're enjoying, stories and photos of kind and generous acts our residents are engaging in, inspirational, amusing, or educational content, and your favorite recipes, crafts, and activities.

In community,
