    Starting Wednesday, I was quarantined, so I am only telling what was scheduled. One of my close neighbors made sure we received the goodies from the Social events. What a family we have here at WFV.

    As for myself I started publishing short Bible Verse videos, which received quite a few views. I post them on YouTube, Facebook, Tiktok, linkedin, and Instagram. I also post on YouTube where, with some searching I can see how many views they get. Many are getting over 100 views. One received over 200 views. The count in views was over 400 for the first 48 hours. Hopefully a good start

    Even so it was a packed week at West Fork Village. A Place Where Seniors Thrive.
