Big “Thank You” to Our Volunteers It was “National Volunteer Week” from April 10-16. Clearview Staff recognized and honored the annual volunteers with a donut bar. Volunteers were reminded that “We Donut Know What to Do Without You” during a reception in the dining room. The Mount Ayr Community High School choir, directed by Greg Storhoff, provided the entertainment by singing several songs from “Jersey Boys.” Greg Storhoff was especially recognized for his commitment to Clearview Home by bringing his band and choir members throughout the year. Greg will be retiring at the end of the school year. Thank you, Volunteers!

CLEARVIEW’S NEW BOWLING TEAM

A few residents requested going bowling recently. Thanks to the assistance from Lucky Lanes and Scott Myer, a dream was fulfilled. Going bowling were Joan Hill and Berniece Hoffman, while Irene Spencer coached Liz and Sommer and Twyla Breckenridge, Roberta Campbell and Darlene Ricker watching.

Kite Makers The ladies gathered to make some Spring crafts to hang in their room. They used tissue paper, construction paper and a laminator to put together a stained glass kite. Sommer later hung them in their room in their windows.
