Valentine Fundraiser
It’s time once again for our annual Valentine
Balloon and Gift Giving sale.
This year we will have two different sized
balloons to sell as well as a variety of gifts to give
your loved ones, including personalized stuffed
animals, homemade heart shaped cookies on a
stick, candy-filled coffee cups, and candy-filled
character kids cups, just to name a few.
You can come to the activity room to view our
selection of balloons and sample gifts.
Prices and pictures of the items will be posted
on Facebook, February 1.
All items must be picked up from the facility.
We will deliver to the residents.

We had a lot of fun with this
activity and realized that none
of us would ever make the
rodeo circuit.
Did You Know…
Did you know that we have
a computer for our residents
to use at their leisure?
Yes, we have become
high-tech here at Colonial
Springs. We have set up a
public computer in our family
room for our residents to
search the web, play games,
or get on Facebook with their
families and friends.
If you would like to learn
how to use the computer or
would like to receive more
information about using it,
please see Patrice Melton,
activity director, and she will
assist you in any way she can.
