Having Fun In Sobriety

St Anthony Dining Room staff is sponsoring a baseball game & Cookout on May 12 for the Father Alfred Center Residents as a way to thank them for their volunteer service at the Dining Room.

This event gives residents at Father Alfred Center, St. Anthony’s drug and alcohol treatment program, a chance to socialize not only with the staff, but also with each other.  Sometimes our residents have a tendency to feel confined by the routine of their day.  The game gives them a chance to get away from that routine and interact with each other & staff in a unique setting.

When asked his opinion Charles Sommer told me, “Each quarter we like to do something nice for the guys.  They work very hard down here at the Dining Room every day.  This gives us a chance to hang around with them in a different setting and have fun.”

A baseball game between St Anthony Staff & Father Alfred Center residents is the focal point of the event. Staff from Father Alfred Center & the St Anthony Dining Room are joined by colleagues from the Social Work Center & Tenderloin Tech Lab for the game.

The great food and competition with staff are something the Father Alfred Center residents look forward to.  So far the staff team is undefeated.  Will this remain the case?  Only time will tell.
