Food Experience

Our fabulous team of chefs collected recipes from our residents and created an entire meal based off submissions and recommendations by our lovely residents. The meal was fantastic!   Ribs were made in the "Mike" style.  Wilma donated her own special potato salad idea.  Marilyn presented a fabulous entree idea and we rounded out the meal with Craisin cookies that were created by a recipe given to the chefs by Neva. 
 
Lunch was Delicious!
 
Smokey the Chef says "Safety First!"
 
 
Chef William did a fabulous job presenting deserts to our residents and staff.
 
Mary was thrilled!
 
 
 
Chef William made desert fancy with Cherry Jubilee and Banana Foster-He lite them both on fire!
 
 
It was a remarkable lunch that we won't soon be forgetting!   Thanks to our fabulous staff and residents for partnering together to make this possible!

School Supply Collection Bus

We are so excited to be able to take the month of July to focus on giving back to our community.  We are all so blessed and would like to pay it forward.  

We have partnered with Hillcrest Orphanage to collect school supplies for the children who live there.  We are collecting pens, pencils, paper, crayons and every other school supply that you can think of. 

A few residents gathered together to turn an old stove box into a shiny new school bus to serve as the collection spot for the supplies.


 
It took a village to make this happen.
 
 
We caught Ronny walking down the hall and recruited his help.
 
 
Our Finished Product!
 
 
Bus Driver Bill took the bus for a test ride!
 
 
 
We had a great time making the bus and look forward to seeing what all wonderful items we can collect through the month of July.  Come on in and drop off supplies-they are going to a great place!
