Best of All: Fantastic Friends Kicks off 2024!

A Vision Board Party to celebrate the New Year!

By Mia and Holly Siino

Every year, Fantastic Friends kicks off our programming by creating vision boards during our first session. First, each person did their brainstorming for their goals for 2024. Then we assembled our boards using magazine pictures. Finally, we shared the boards with everyone. It helped us to get to know each other better and learn about our favorite hobbies and interests. 

Below are some of the finished products and a little bit about the Fantastic Friend who made them:

Stephen is interested in spending 2024 focusing on sports and reading. We can’t wait to see him try out golf! 

Grace is working on independent living skills in 2024. She will be focusing on cooking, learning how to take care of a pet, and baking. Along the way she hopes to have some fun adventures horseback riding, listening to country music, and meeting new friends.

Timmy designed his vision board around animals he loves and celebrities. He’s excited to keep attending his Orange Theory Fitness classes with his mom Julie. 

Kayla (right) has a goal of being famous! We can’t wait to see where her musical talents take her. Elizabeth (EB) is inspired by fashion and makeup. She wants to focus on gratitude this year.

We are so proud of all of our Fantastic Friends participants for all of their many Best of All Moments and accomplishments and can’t wait to see where this year takes them. We hope you learned a little more about our amazing crew. Stay tuned- you just might get an update on how they are doing on their goals!
