Halloween Party at Cafe Joyeux
A Halloween party at Cafe Joyeux with our friends from Invictus and Mind Over Matter: some costumes, a live band, fortune telling, and plenty of treats.
Welcome to Cafe Joyeux.
We took over Cafe Joyeux, a cafe staffed by people with intellectual and cognitive disabilities, for a Halloween party. The cafe's own pumpkin helped set the scene.
The staff came in costume.
The cafe's staff dressed up as Pink Ladies, and some of our guests came in costume too.
Friends from Invictus.
Ali caught up with a friend from Invictus, one of our partners for the day.
Friends from Mind Over Matter.
Two friends from Mind Over Matter, our other partner for the day, joined the party.
Good food and good company.
There were sandwiches, quiche, salads, cookies, brownies, and loaf cake, and everyone ate and talked together.
Live music from Especially Everybody.
The band Especially Everybody was great. They sang for two hours.
A fortune telling corner.
The fortune telling section was a favorite, with a wheel to spin and fortune fish.
Goodie bags and cookies.
Goodie bags with ghosts in them sat in front of the counter, and there were cookies to take home too.
A few more moments.
