Diamond Ladies
Recently, at the “For the Love of Chocolate” fundraising event, our very own Lisa Guidry won
the very beautiful chocolate diamond bracelet worth $5,700! Willing to share her prize
with some of the glamorous ladies at our home, she has invited them to wear it for a day.
Lucky recipients this month were Meredith Lyon, Opal Fitzherbert and Mabel Crease. The
ladies were very honored and excited to be trusted with wearing something so expensive
and beautiful for the entire day! Thank you Lisa for so generously sharing your gift with
the ladies of KWCC! Below Mabel & Opal are showing off the bracelet while some of
The Kennebecasis Neighborhood is a wonderful neighborhood. It offers some challenges that are unique compared to the other neighborhoods.
An Easter basket has been filled to raise funds to enhance activities for the residents in the KV Neighborhood. The basket can be viewed at the reception desk. Tickets
are $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00.

International Women's Day March 8, 2015 MAKE IT HAPPEN All around the world, International Women's Day represents an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling for greater equality. Make It Happen is the 2015 theme for our internationalwomensday.com global hub, encouraging effective action for advancing and recognizing women.
Each year International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. The first International Women's Day was held in 1911. Thousands of events occur to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. Organizations, governments, charities, educational institutions, women's groups, corporations and the media celebrate the day.
Various organizations identify their own International Women's Day theme, specific to their local context and interests. Many charities, NGOs and Governments also adopt a relevant theme or campaign to mark the day. For example, organizations like the UN, Oxfam, Women for Women, Care International, Plan, World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and more - run exciting and powerful campaigns that raise awareness and encourage donations for good causes.
Let’s celebrate all of the women in our homes – residents, staff, and volunteers *********************************************************************
General Store
We are in the baby stages of installing a general store
here in the home! We need your help!
What would you like to see in the store? Chips, candy,
pop, Kleenex and small gifts were suggestions, what
else should we have?
If anyone has any ideas for fundraising, please talk to Carol. We are all
very excited to get this addition to our home up and running!

Who said: “Let it Snow”
We have had a crazy amount of snow this past month and it is still falling!!! Take a
look at some of the views out our windows here at KWCC! Look for some special
additions to be created on the snow banks in front. We are all feeling a bit blue with all
this snow….hopefully, it will make you smile and think of spring!!!
