Thanksgiving 2013

Happy Thanksgiving from KADEP

 

 Thanksgiving Trivia

 

 We had a "turkey shoot"

 

Everyone wrote what they were thankful for on a feather

 

 Then we combined all the feathers to make a turkey that was on display during our dinner

Thanks for all the clients attended, the volunteers who helped, and the staff for their hard work. 

Collecting Donations

The Let Go the Ego group is collecting monetary donations to send to the Red Cross to help the people of the Philippines. The Philippines were hit hard by Super Typhoon Haiyan earlier this month.

The group will be collecting donations until December 16th. Each day, a table will be set up after lunch near the fitness center or you can give money to staff member Kyle at any time.

Please anything helps. Thank you!

Target Sign-Up

For the Target outing on Nov 26th and Dec 10th there is now a sign-up sheet for tie-down spots. Adding your name to the list does not automatically mean you will be going on the outing. Instead, this will add your name into a lottery drawing. The 10 tie-down spots, per outing, will be drawn from a hat. This is the fairest way we can assign spots.

Other please be willing to transfer on the outing so we can fit as many people as possible.

Thank you,

Any questions or concerns please contact Kyle 303-433-6887 ext 129
