The upcoming activity for the month of February is a Valentine's party on Feb. 13 at 2 p.m. King and Queen Valentine for 2004 will be chosen by the most votes. Everyone has a chance to be king and queen, it doesn't matter if they have won in the past. If you want your favorite person to win, cast your vote and put it in the box. The votes will be counted the day of the party. Proceeds go toward the front porch.
We want to welcome Janet Styles to the Dietary Supervisor job. She is doing great.
Our sympathy goes to the family of Audrey Lambert. She will be missed.
We want to thank all your family members that come and help out with your loved ones. It is very helpful.

Justin is one of Kentucky's waiting children
Justin has siblings he would like to continue visiting. He needs a family with positive, stable role models in the home. A family would have to be comfortable in advocating for and working with school professionals, as school will remain a challenge for Justin. A family would have to be up to the challenge of working with his delays and help keep him busy and directed on something positive to do. Also, he will test a new family to see if you are really committed to him. A family will require patience, consistency, supervision and structure, as well as lots of love and nurturing. He's going to do great things, states his foster mom. Are you the family to help Justin achieve those great things?
