BEAUTY DAYS AT CKM!

Judy Smith, a long-time volunteer at CKM, along with her close friend Marcy Murphy came to Christ The King to help out with a "Beauty Makeover" day.  Judy also asked Linda Crandall, owner of Merrill Norman to come.  She brought her daughter, Hannah as well as two of of her employees, Jerrica Dahrouge and Krista Gearhart. Together with the activities staff they did make-up, hair, and nails.  Our residents had so much fun being pampered and loved the change from their regular routine.   We hope to do it again in April.

SANTA VISITS

Louie Caltagarone, our original manager of maintenance, still comes to Christ The King each year dressed as Santa.  He bring his accordion and spreads cheer throughout the manor. 




FEEDING THE BIRDS!

Feeding the birds is a winter-long project.  Our residents have so much fun coating pine cones with peanut butter and then rolling them in bird seed.  Our little birds took only a couple of days the polish them off the first time we hung them this year!
