Celebrating 40 years of friendships at Coeur d'Alene's Specialized Needs Recreation

Tanja Batchelder met new people, shaking hands and exchanging smiles before she got back to her work on the loom. Batchelder said it takes weeks to complete a table runner on the loom, but the work kept her hands busy as she smiled at the hubbub of the celebration and open house taking place around her at Specialized Needs Recreation. "I love SNR and meeting new friends and spending time with them," Batchelder said. "There are baby chicks here, too."
