3rd Annual Spring Fling Volunteer Tea The 2015 Spring Fling Festival will be held on Saturday, April 25 beginning at 10 a.m. on the front parking lots. Special events will include crafters, live music, barbeques, cake and pie auction, carnival games for children and a chance drawing for a homemade quilt donated by the Hillcrest Quilting Club. Money raised from this event will go toward special purchases for our residents. The event also provides an excellent opportunity for our residents to become involved in a community activity. If you are looking for a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon, come out and help support our residents. If you would like to set up a craft or food booth, contact Chelsey Henderson, social service director, at 417-345-2228. The CSHCC residents and staff would like to invite our volunteers to a special tea to honor the men and women who dedicate their time to our facility. The Volunteer Tea will be held on Tuesday, April 21 at 2 p.m. in the dining room. This is our little way of saying “thank you.” (above) - Volunteer, Sharon, makes Ruby’s nails look pretty in pink.

We will be having our annual plant and flower sale on Friday, May 8th from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on our front parking lot. Various potted plants, hanging baskets, bedding plants and vegetable packets will be available to purchase. All proceeds made from this event will go toward the resident’s special event account. Spring has officially arrived, and so has the potential ants. We would like to remind our families, if you bring in any type of food, please place it in a sealed Tupperware type container with the resident’s name on it. If it is something that needs to be refrigerated, there is a refrigerator located in the activity room. Please date the item and put the resident’s name on it. Thank you very much.
