A Spirit of Giving
Special thanks are in order for those have shared their generosity with our personal care community this holiday season:
Jeff and Gina Funk, family of resident Dana Funk, donated $400 in gift cards to be raffled off to staff as part of the Gifts of Gratitude employee appreciation event.
Dave Hunkele (Maintenance) generously purchased two beautiful prelit Christmas trees for the main dining room, replacing two older ones that were showing their age.
Parishioners at Assumption BVM Church in Bellevue again delivered on the wishes of our residents by dropping off gift bags and wrapped presents filled with items from residents’ wishlists.
Amazing Scholar Academy Preschool in Ross once again dropped a bountiful batch of Bubby’s Bags down our chimney. The care packages are donated annually in memory of Cheryl Buchlmayer, whose ties to our hilltop date back to the 1970s.
Resident aide Erin Ras crafted cute Santa hat hairclips that were shared with all the residents at their Christmas party on December 17.
Carolee Mandernach (Housekeeping) led a staff effort to purchase fun holiday headbands, light-up necklaces and other festive accessories for the residents to wear during the same party.
Each resident received a lap blanket, lap quilt or walker bag handmade by receptionist Connie Holko and her quilting friends.
Mt. Assisi Place also gifted each resident with a cardinal ornament that can be displayed all winter.
