COUNTRY PRIDE BAND ENTERTAINS AT CKM

Music, dancing, socializing and fun was the name of the game last night at Christ the King Manor. Country Pride band came to perform after dinner and our residents couldn’t wait for them to get there. Regardless of when we call, these guys are always willing to haul their equipment here and put on a fantastic show. We so much appreciate their devotion to our residents’ happiness.

PIZZA PARTY !

Every other month or so the activities department makes homemade pizza for our residents. There is always room for a good slice of pizza or two after lunch! We are complemented as making the “best pizza ever!” by many of our residents…it’s a secret recipe that is affectionately guarded…but we’ll share it with anyone!

WINE AND CHEESE PARTY !

The activities department held it’s first “real” wine and cheese party today. It was a much-anticipated event and turned out to be a great success. We served wine from the Laurel Mountain Winery and beer, as well as Sparkling Juice Cocktail and NA beer. We also served cheese, crackers, strawberries and grapes. All of this coupled with great classical music and wonderful conversation resulted in a fantastic afternoon! We will be doing this again soon!

ST. PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATION

The Confirmation class of St. Mary’s Church in Reynoldsville celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with us. For most of the students this was their first visit to CKM but after an introduction and a little time they allowed themselves to have a great time with our residents. They brought along Country Pride band with them for entertainment, sang karaoke and also served refreshments and party favors. The residents LOVED it!

A BIRD STORY...

The residents and staff at Christ The King are diligent about feeding the birds all year long but especially in the winter. Many residents express daily concerns about the birds needing to be fed. When the frost and snow covers the ground and food is difficult to find we coat pinecones with peanut butter and birdseed. These natural bird feeders are hung on trees and bushes around the perimeter of the manor so our residents can witness the fruits of their labor from inside. Not only is this activity beneficial to our feathered friend community, it is therapeutic in many ways to our residents.

YARD SALE!

Residents at Christ The King can attend a “Yard Sale” once a month. Anything from jewelry, clothing, nick-knacks, perfume, stuffed animals, and much more can be found. And everything we have is collected from donations to the manor. We spread out the items on the tables in our Main Dining Room so the residents have good wheelchair access. Residents are given “Christ The King dollars” to make their purchases. For many of our residents this is the first thing they look for after the activity calendar is published. It is a fun, fun afternoon for everyone. Today we had students from DuBois Area Catholic School helping with the sale.

RON ROSMAN - FORMER MEMBER OF TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHONDELLS

Ron Rosman and his wife Maryann came to Christ The King today to entertain our residents. Ron is a former member of Tommy James and the Shondells as a back-up vocalist and playing keyboard. He now sings Contemporary Christian music and has recorded a CD entitled “My Offering.” He captured an audience of over seventy residents and other visitors with individualized versions of old time hymns along with other classic contemporary Christian music.

Ron and Maryann's daughter, Jodie Guerndt, is an RN supervisoar at CKM.
