Junior Volunteer Summer Camp

The Junior Volunteer Summer Camp has

been off to a great start!

Kids at KWCC have enjoyed various

themed-weeks including Pirate, Hawaiian,

Science & Circus with more to follow

including Time Travel, Nature and Space.

Kids at KMI enjoyed a Science

themed-week that ended with a big party

and water fight with the residents!

The kids have participated in fun activities with the residents including building

volcanoes, a pirate sing along with David Goss; hosting a carnival, science

experiments with the Lil’ Shop of Science, playing games and taking part in

one-on-one visits. This new program is proving to

be a fun and beneficial experience for both our residents

and the children. Some children and their parents have

already expressed interest in becoming volunteers after

their experience at Junior Volunteer Summer Camp!

Space is still available for the remaining weeks at

KWCC for more information call 847-1131 ex 8441

Tribute Cards are an attractive and efficient way to send caring messages to family and friends, and at the same

time support our Foundation. A lovely, personalized message printed on a special card is sent to

the recipient, and a tax receipt is issued for your kind donation, for a minimum donation of

$10.00.

Please visit our website or call the Foundation office at 847-1131, ext. 1124 .

Also, a gift set of 8 cards & envelopes are available from the Foundation office for $20.00.

Do you like to have fun, decorate, connect with people and most importantly

LOVE CHOCOLATE??

The Foundation is in the early stages of planning a signature event to fundraise for

Kennebec Manor and Kings Way Care Centre. This will be a “multi-course chocolate

tasting” from various restaurants and bakeries from the Greater Saint John area.

This event will be on Saturday, October 25th at the Saint John Trade & Convention

Centre. If you would like to participate in the planning of this “One Of A Kind” event in

New Brunswick, please contact Kim at 847-1131, ext. 1124

Highs & Lows of GardeningHighs & Lows of GardeningHighs & Lows of GardeningHighs & Lows of Gardening

This is our third year of planting at the QPlex Community Garden. In early June, approx. 18-20 tomato plants were planted in various varieties. Unfortunately, tropical storm Arthur brought with it a blight and damaged many tomato plants in our region, including all at the Qplex……very disappointing to our residents and our Adult Day Centre participants upon the discovery.

In an effort to replant, we contacted Alan Reynolds who is a neighbour of Kings Way Care Centre to see if he had any plants that we could purchase. He very generously donated three cherry tomato plants along with some flowers that have been transplanted in the raised beds.

Thank you Alan, for your generosity and hopefully towards the end of summer we will be eating tomatoes once again!
