Branson Vacation!SAVE residents and staff

enjoyed the show at DollyParton’s Dixie Stampede inBranson in August. Of course, aride on the “Ducks” was part oftheir weekend, too!

Games, food, arts & crafts, music and dancing were the order of the day at SAVE’s annual FallFestival. Work was suspended, so everyone could come out and enjoy the activities.

The event was funded by the spring Rummage Sale which made $700+ thanks to thedonors who cleaned out their closets, and the buyers who shopped for treasures. Even thoughit was a little chilly, everyone had a great time! Special thanks to Deb Classen and her team

who put on the sale and Festival.

On Sunday, October 19, two of SAVE's bowling teams, four of SAVE's bowling dou-bles and one ramp single athlete will participate in the Southern Sectional SpecialOlympics Bowling Tournament at St. Clair Bowl in Fairview Heights. All of our

bowlers are winners in our eyes, but these 17 athletes will pursue the gold to earnthe chance to attend the State Bowling Tournament in Peoria in December. Sixcoaches are proud to cheer them on! Previous winners, (r) Barb Bernham and Marcus

Matlock are competing again this year.

Thanks to Pat the DJ forkeeping the place

hopping with greatmusic, and to Tribout

Distributors for donatingthe Popcorn machineand two games and

giving a discount on thesnowcone machine.

Church of Latter Day SaintsWork Day at SAVE

Movie Night!

Twenty-nine residents of TurkeyHill, four staff and three other vol-unteers filled the Bistro Theatre atThe EDGE courtesy of a Friend of SAVE.

Settled back in comfy chairs with a drink and pop-corn, the crowd saw Let’s Be Cops starring JakeJohnson, Damon Wayans, Jr. and Nina Dobrev.

Judging by the laughter and applause coming fromthe theater, this buddy-cop movie (except that theyaren’t cops) was hilariously funny. Many thanks for areally fun night!

Easy Ways to Help!SAVE Board Profile

Meet Anne Fohne KeeleyAnne Keeley is an attorney and mother of two

girls, who joined the SAVE Board in January,2012. She first learned about SAVE in the late1970s when she met her husband, Geno, whosesister lives and works at Turkey Hill.

Anne has brought a passion for helpingSAVE’s consumers to her position on the Board.Over the past year, she spearheaded the effort toclear out eight of the houses that were dilapidat-ed and past the point of repair. With the help ofGeno and Keeley & Sons Construction, Anne

organized a crew to demolish the houses and clear away the rubble and foun-dations. The result is an open, grassy space that is much more welcoming forresidents and visitors alike.

“My goal now,” Anne said, “is to clean up and landscape the front of each ofthe remaining houses. Our consumers are so warm and inviting to everyone. Ithink their homes should be as nice on the outside as the people who live inthem are on the inside.” Anne is hoping to find landscape companies, church-es, businesses or other organizations that are willing to “adopt a house” anddonate low maintenance plants, shrubs and other materials. She’d also like tosee some ambient lighting in that area that would make it easier for the resi-dents to get around in the evenings. Anyone interested in helping? You canleave a message for Anne at 618-234-1992.
