Everybody's a winner!

On Saturday, October 27, 2012, St. Ann Center will hold the drawing for our $250,000 raffle and announce the winners. However, even before that happens, we would like to extend a warm, heartfelt thanks to all of the participants who have helped support St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care by purchasing raffle tickets. You are all active participants in supporting the clients that come to St. Ann Center to receive our love and care each and every day.

How? The raffle helps to subsidize the care of our clients (2/3’s of whom are already receiving subsidy because they can’t afford the full cost of their care). The Adopt-a-Life fund is a way that we raise funds to cover the cost of client’s care here, and fundraisers like the raffle are essential for continuing the mission of St. Ann Center. Together, we at St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care, and you our fellow members of the community, are creating a caring and compassionate environment of peace for all who enter through our doors.

The raffle drawing will be held on Saturday, October 27, at 2 p.m. in the Atrium at St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care.

St. Ann Center's card sharks...

St Ann Center has its own cards sharks, in the ebb and flow of winners and losers in a spirited game of Crazy Eight. Actually, everyone’s a winner, guessing by the sound of “hoops and hollers” as the game plays along.

An "ordinary" day for artists!

Our staff art teacher Yolanda set the tables with a feast of brushes, paint, sea shells and paper plates.

And miniature light houses were in place when then the “guests” arrived to take part in the artistic feast.

With quiet concentration the plain lighthouses came alive with color, each one a unique creation.

Just another “ordinary” day at St. Ann Center!

 

Peace and all good!

We’re celebrating the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. Why call it a “feast” you might ask? It’s from the Latin “festa” which means celebration. We celebrate the words and example of our friend, Francis, who was a walking gospel of his time, and hope we can walk the talk as he did. So happy feast day all you lovers of creatures great and small, human and animal, and that goes for rocks, water and air too!
