Jenna & I had a great time helping the residents prepare the baked goodies on Saturday for our Father’s Day party on Sunday, June 21, 2009.  Our theme for this grand day is “Tie One On” in honor of our Dad’s.  With the donation of over 40 ties, each resident that is willing will wear a tie for the day.  Jenna will also wear a tie in honor of her breeder Dad, still a top breeder for Canine Companions for Independence, he is in California, loving his job…teehee!

On Saturday, we baked cookies and cupcakes.  The decorating of our goodies was fun…we had cake batter & icing all over those participating in this fun activity.  Licking the spoons was the best!  Just ask Harry & Rick!

Our friend Evelyn volunteers and we love seeing her.  She was the first to donate ties for our Dad’s.

Jenna loves her family at the Broadmoor, indeed the love is returned! 

It was a great day on March 28, 2009 and for a much need cause @ the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk at Tradition in beautiful Port St. Lucie, Florida.  I was thrilled to see my friend Emily in the crowd.  I had my own T-shirt and wore it proudly.  Our Team, “Team Awareness” won  the T-shirt design contest and it was such an honor being part of this fundraiser.

There were pet dogs at this event, so I was able to spend time and meet  all kinds of nice people and play with one of my own kind…YIPEE!

We hope to have the same wonderful experience next year.  The Alzheimer’s Association works tirelessly and would welcome anyone that wishes to be a part of this amazing process to contact them.  There is a need for any and all volunteers.  Asking the community to partner with them with give-a-ways or donation of food or beverages for this event.  Please contact  @ dianeblack44@bellsouth.net

We hope to see you there next year.  I am available for photographs…teehee!

Through the generosity of the Pilot Club of St. Lucie County we were delighted with a visit from Santa. The members also surprised us with a Wii program and we are thrilled with the additional activity.
