It isn\u2019t just about celebrating romantic love but also about reaching out to friends and telling them how much they mean to you. With this in mind, a group of volunteers from the resorts \u2013 employees and members \u2013 visited the Old Folks Home in the Ciudad de la Alegr\u00eda Community Center on the outskirts of town to give flowers to the residents and spend some time with them.<\/p>\n<p>The Ciudad de la Alegr\u00eda or City of Joy helps the poorest and most vulnerable members of the community, young or old, terminally ill or hungry. The residents of the Old Folks Home may not have a family support network to take care of them and lack the resources to fend for themselves. Many are completely alone, having lost their spouses, and others are very frail. A visit is a welcome surprise and they love having callers to pass the time of day with. A gift of flowers, hugs and smiles and a friendly chat made their Valentine\u2019s Day a happier one.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to visiting with our friends at the Ciudad de la Alegr\u00eda in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Our thanks go out to our Royal Resorts Foundation volunteers and for everyone who helped make our second Spreading Happiness event possible.<\/p>\n<p><i>Join the Spreading Happiness Campaign<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The Royal Resorts Foundation is planning additional Spreading Happiness activities in 2014 and the next one will take place on April 30, Children\u2019s Day.
