KID'S DAY AT CKM

On August 17 Christ The King had 34 extra visitors for the day. Every year we invite the staff to bring their children to CKM to spend a day with the activities department and the residents. A super fun-filled day is the result of much planning. We started at 6 am with donuts and refreshments for the “early birds.” Crafts followed inside after all the kids arrived and then we spent most of the remainder of the day outside for carnival games, kick ball, water balloon games, snow-cones, playing with small groups, and playing with large groups. Lunch included grilled hot dogs. During a special activity the kids assisted the residents to write “Messages to Heaven” on helium filled balloons and then launched them into the sky. The children also wrote their own messages as well. No child went home that wasn’t pleasantly exhausted from the fun and they all asked when they could come back! They took home a “bucket of treats” that included a certificate of participation. One of our children wrote a special poem about Kid’s Day this year – it sums it all up!


KID’S DAY IS,
Fun, playful.
Meeting new people.
Knowing their name for the very first time.
Jumping, running, and playing outside.
Playing kickball and having a good time!
Throwing a hacky sack at cans and winning candy no matter what you do.
It’s sharing your candy and trading it too!
Than is what KID’S DAY IS !

ACTIVITY ROOM PROJECT UPDATE

The activity room project continues. After the concrete was poured much of the work is being done inside...these pictures are from August 18, 2011.

ACTIVITY ROOM PROJECT

New Activity Room Project
On July 5, 2011 work began on the much anticipated activity room renovation project. Thanks to the generous support of the CKM Auxiliary and the approval of the Board of Directors, our residents will soon enjoy a newly renovated and expanded space to enjoy their activities. The newly designed activities room will be 2,802 square feet as compared to the previous 1,632 feet. It will include a media center, country kitchen, library and computer area, fireplace, and covered patio area. It will accommodate more residents which translates into more fun! The activities department at CKM is dedicated to planning and supervising activities with all the resident’s interests in mind. We are currently maintaining the activity program throughout the building until the completion date. It is a bit of an inconvenience but a small sacrifice to make when the outcome is so grand. In addition to the activity room, a new Beauty Shop is being designed using 424 square feet of existing space. Considering we currently accommodate up to six residents in a 169 square foot area, this increased space coupled with new and updated equipment will make the salon experience more pleasing and personal to each resident.
The expected completion date for the entire projest is in mid-November.

We will be adding new pictures as the project continues.
