STEELERMANIA !!!

We have a lot of Pittsburgh Steeler fans at Christ the King and this year couldn’t go by without a Superbowl Party! Residents and staff celebrated the Steeler’s AFC championship with music, food, fun, and door prizes. There are no fair-weather fans at CKM and regardless of the outcome of Sunday’s game, this is BLACK & GOLD STEELER country all year. The pictures tell the best story.

POSTER PAINTING

There are many activities scheduled for our residents to keep them busy all day if they like. One of the favorite craft activities is poster painting. Seasonal posters are drawn by staff and painted by the residents. We have some real artists at Christ The King.

HAPPY HOUR!

The newest activity at Christ The King is a HUGE success. Every other Friday we have happy hour in the activities room and this activity is so popular we run out of space! No worries, though. Overflow is seated in the Main Dining Room where plenty of guests enjoy a drink and refreshments.

DAHS GIFTED STUDENTS

The DuBois Area High School gifted students began volunteering their time at Christ The King. Under the direction of Dan Minns, they will visit CKM to host a special BINGO one evening a month for our residents. December 1 was their first visit and not only did they bring themselves which is a gift in itself, they brought cookies to distribute. We look forward to their next visit on January 5.

ENTERTAINMENT BY "GLENDALE TRAIN"

Glendale Train brought a full house with standing room only to our dining room on November 16. Fun, frolic, and spiritual gratification was plentiful that evening when Pat Hibbert and her group entertained our residents with exceptional talent. Their repertoire includes old country, new country, gospel, and more. They visit nursing homes in our area as part of their ministry and we are grateful and blessed to have had them here.

AUCTION !

November 10 was our first auction at CKM and it was a BLAST! This took place of our monthly yard sale and it sure was a nice change. We have our very own auctioneer, Tonia Duttry and the rest of the activities staff presented and modeled the items and attire that were being auctioned off. Everything from clothing, jewelry, lamps, blankets, room decorations, pillows, and more were to be had that day. The residents were provided with CKM money and, of course, a bidding paddle with which bid on the items they wanted. You can be sure there was no less competition and action here at CKM than you would find at a regular auction. Our next one is scheduled for December 8 and we can’t wait! All items were generous donations by staff, family and friends. Thank You!
