Thanksgiving Luncheon

The annual Thanksgiving Luncheon was a wonderful celebration of friends and Thanksgiving.  Many helping hands made it possible including Emmaus Facilities and Housekeeping Teams, S.A.S., youth from St. Lucas U.C.C., Chris Adams, Pete Elkan, a local Daisy Troop, and all of you (home managers, direct support professionals and residents) that contributed side dishes.  YUM!  I'm sorry I only made it to a handful of tables with the camera.  Wishing you each a meaningful holiday week.

The Making of Our Annual Christmas Pageant

This year's Christmas pageant is going to be video-based.  This will eliminate the need for multiple rehearsal nights and hopefully be a fun new twist on what is always a special evening.

If you want to be IN the pageant do two things:

1.  Be at the taping on Saturday November 23rd from 1-4pm in the Activity Center.  Wear something festive.  No special talent is needed.  We will be videotaping, crafting, and singing.

2.  Be at the chapel on Saturday December 7th at 5:45pm.  The program will begin at 6:30pm.

Photo Gallery: Kemp Auto Museum

These photos are from a tour of the Kemp Auto Museum, located in Chesterfield Valley.  The museum host was very gracious and informative.  All this was topped off with lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory, where all diet needs can be accommodated upon request.

Grants Farm Tour

This awesome tour of Grant's Farm included individual pictures taken with the Clydesdales, a private ride through the grounds including some 'behind the scenes', and an opportunity to feed the buffalo.  Wow!

Note:  If you were present and are wishing for a copy of the group photo that was taken for your scrapbook etc. please contact Cindy B. or Angela C. and we can get it to you.  Not all pictures are published here out of respect for individuals' permission to release or not release photos.

Beautiful fall colors to enjoy.  Shelley took this photo and I like it so much it is my new screensaver ;)

Somebody convinced Shelley to ride a camel.

Would you be brave enough to feed him?!
