Resident activities
Whether you enjoy gardening and outdoor activities, tours and cultural events, community activism, or simply curling up by the fire with a good book, chances are Friends House Residents’ Association (RA) has a program for you! A special quality of Friends House is the active role residents play in the life of the community. The RA is self-funded and self-governed. Money is raised through a resident-run resale shop, called the Elephant Shop, and a finance committee of the RA allocates funds to the committees and programs.
A few of the committees are:
- Creative Arts (multiple)
- Music Programs (multiple)
- Program Committee
- Gardening Committee
- Library and Book Club
- Programs and Tours
- Wellness Committee
At Friends House, seniors bring their wisdom and experience to the community and they, in turn, are nourished — physically, intellectually, and spiritually — by the vitality of the community. Located on 62 gently rolling acres in Sandy Spring, Maryland, Friends House has activities to help seniors realize their potential at every stage of life.
