Egg Drop

Amanda's Team Building group did an egg drop last week.  The group divided into 4 teams.  The goal was to create a structure that prevents an egg from breaking when dropped from 10 feet.  Each team got straws, newspaper, and tape.  Each team created their structure and developed a team name.  The names were:

Team Eggcellent

Team Eggcognito

Team Elvis

Team Rockstars

Three of the teams dropped their egg successfully from 10 feet without breaking.  Only one team's egg broke after the fall.  Congrats to all teams for working together and having a blast.  Great group, Amanda and Tom!

KADEP Celebrates One Year on new campus

Can you believe it was a year ago today that KADEP opened it's doors to clients at the new building?  Today, KADEP celebrated their one year anniversary at the new campus and recognized the existence of our program for the last 20 years.  Each KADEP participant and staff member received a certificate and carnation, acknowledging their loyalty and commitment to this amazing program.  We currently have 6 active participants who have been part of the KADEP family for 20 years.  Each of these six received a special 20 year pin.  Those who have attended for 20 years are:

Rachelle C
Tony S
Tony M
Anita M
Phyllus U
Dolores H

KADEP has grown in size and has made a positive difference to many lives of those living with MS and other neurological illnesses in the last 20 years.  Our goal is to keep improving these lives and to continue to grow our program.

One way we are growing, not only in numbers of the KADEP family, but also via new business ideas and ventures.  Karl Dakin, Director of the John J. Sullivan Free Enterprise Chair at Regis University, gave a presentation this afternoon after a lovely BBQ on the back patio.

A special thank you to Jeff, who provided musical entertainment during our BBQ lunch to help us celebrate our One year anniversary.

Thank you to all KADEP participants, staff, volunteers, and special guests- what a great day!

KADEP is celebrating their One Year Anniversary at the Vista Grande Campus!

A year ago on Sept 28th, KADEP opened their doors to the participants.  So much hard work, love and energy has gone into making this one of the best years ever in KADEP history.  We have grown in size, and are now averaging 63.8 clients per day.  This is outstanding and was part of the future vision for KADEP as we moved locations.  We continue to have room to grow our KADEP family, partner with other community organizations and we are close to getting the building paid off. 

We will be celebrating our One Year Anniversary on Sept 28th at 10:30 am.  Can't wait to celebrate and acknowledge every one that has been a part of this wonderful program throughout the years.

We will also welcome Karl Dakin, Director of the John J. Sullivan Free Enterprise Chair at Regis University,on Wed. Sept 28 at 1:30. His subject is innovative social enterprise. The KADEP Enterprises group welcomes this "kick-off" presentation, as we continue to move The Rocky Mountain MS Center and KADEP forward in the future.
