DOCTORS NEED TLC TOO!

Our medical director, Dr. Peck, is enjoying a massage from Bernie Haag, our honorary massage therapist.  We don't often see Dr. Peck sitting idle, but this is a well deserved break for an outstanding doctor.  We like to take care of our care givers at Christ The King!

DOUGHNUT TUESDAY!

Several staff members helped to pass out fresh doughnuts to all of our residents throughout the building.  The idea was inspired by some requests for dougnuts and viola'!  Ask and you shall receive!

TEDDY BEAR CHRISTMAS BINGO

With Several beautiful donations of bears, the Activities Department held a special "Teddy Bear Bingo" for Christmas.  We have a very special Bingo caller in residence right now.  Mary Thelma Glenn who is 104 years old, has been doing the honors during our Bingo games.  She is an amazing wealth of information who has lived through 18 presidents and has a memory that would put many of us to shame.  If you are inclined, stop to say hi to her.  Mary Thelma is charming and exceptionally interesting!

RIDGWAY HIGH SCHOOL BAND

Four members of the Rigway High School Band provided a pleasant diversion to our afternoon activities.  Jasmine Carlson, Kylie Gorske, Akila Shrefler, and Anthony Antonuccio, along with the Band Director, Shawn Hofmann, played well known tunes that our residents could sing along to.  

Thanks for coming!

DUBOIS HIGH SCHOOL DYNAMICS

The DuBois High School Dynamics  charmed us with a wonderfully fun program of a variety of Christmas Carols, old and new.  The choir, directed by Brennan Bell, put on a great show and our activity room was packed with residents and family members who came to enjoy the fun.  

VETERAN'S DAY CELEBRATION

The DuBois Honor Guard helped us celebrate Veteran's Day on November 11 where we honored 43 Veterans, many of them WWII and Korean War Vets.  It is always an emotional event and this year one of our WWII Vets, Joe Marando, helped out with a few words of thanks. All veterans at CKM received a personalized certificate. We are united in thanking all veterans, young and old, active, retired, and deceased, for their service to our country.

HOMEMADE NOODLES

Bonnie Amundson, daughter of Esther Brestovich, is known for her fabulous cooking and baking skills.  Our residents were treated to her delicious pumpkin logs for our Thanksgiving Celebration.  Recently she brought her  homemade pasta maker to Christ The king and demonstrated how fun and delicious it is to make your own noodles.  The activities staff assisted in making fried cabbage and "homemade" noodles when she was done.  DELICIOUS!  

Thank you, Bonnie!

VOLUNTEERS ROCK!

Gloria Averill, resident of the Gray Family Foundation Apartments, makes beautiful crocheted lap blankets for our residents.  Gloria says she can't get out to help those in need so this is her way to give back to the community.  We appreciate and admire her talents and kindness.
