Annual Volunteer Lunch

Kennebec Manor

Giving Purpose and Meaning to Every Life

Volunteers are an integral part of any non-profit

organization. We celebrated our Volunteers at

Kennebec Manor with a delicious lunch.

The atmosphere was jovial and fun with our Leadership Team making

everyone feel welcome and appreciated.

Volunteering brings together a diverse range of people with varied

backgrounds. Our most junior volunteer started with us when she was

in high school, coming in after school, on weekends and for special

events such the Family Fun Day. In addition, our most senior volunteer

just turned ninety and enjoys various activities with the residents.

It takes a community to raise children and also to enhance the lives of

elders who were once active participants in our society.

We thank you for all that you do and the smile and love you bring to our

homes.

If you like to have fun, socialize, bake, read, do crafts, garden or enjoy

participating in events in the community, please give us a call at

632-9628 ext 109 or drop in to see us!

Staff Appreciation

The leadership team held a bowling party for the staff of

both Kennebec Manor & Kings Way Care Centre and their

families, at the Bowlarama, to show their appreciation for the

“labor of love” the staff demonstrate throughout the year.

Fathers Are Wonderful People

Fathers are wonderful people Too little understood, And we do not sing their praises

As often as we should...

Father struggles daily To live up to "HIS IMAGE" As protector and provider

And "hero of the scrimmage"…

And perhaps that is the reason We sometimes get the notion, That fathers are not subject

To the thing we call emotion

But if you look inside his heart, Where no one else can see You'll find he's sentimental

And as "soft" as he can be...

Fathers are just WONDERFUL In a million different ways, And they merit loving compliments

And accolade of praise.

Kite Flying BBQ Party

On May 29th, we had a wonderful visit from the children of Lakefield Elementary. Since September

our residents at KWCC have visited the grade two class of Corinna LeMontagne to do Art History.

As a thank you for their hospitality, we invited them to build kites and bring them to our home to fly

for our residents. Our sister home Kennebec Manor became involved in this great event as well

and even brought their own kites! They were thrilled to see their hand-made kites touch the sky

with the help of their new young friends. After the kite flying was over, everyone went upstairs for a

BBQ. The Nutrition staff went above and beyond to provide a wonderful meal for both residents and

guests alike. Special thanks go out to Don Sherwood and Don Cameron who manned the BBQ’s!!!!

It was a day filled with laughter and smiles from people of all ages! A day that will be remembered

for a long time!!
