58th Anniversary
1953-2011
Monthly Newsletter
The residents at Nu-Roc Community Healthcare had a wonderful January, a month that is notorious for bad weather and ill tempers. None of these were evident this year!
It was a month of parties. In addition to the monthly birthday party, we celebrated Friday the 13th, the Chinese New Year (fortune cookies!), and pizza. Golden Eagle Pizza from Townsend was responsible for that feast. It's always a treat.
Ray and Ellen Ehlinger spent some time playing good ole' country music. They come from Wabeno and are well known by many of our residents, so seeing them is extra special.
Mrs. Bobbe and her 4th graders from Laona Elementary School paid a visit this past month. Everybody commented on what a great group of students these were. They were helpful, good conversationalists, and very well behaved. Together, we worked on a Valentine craft, shared a snack, and got to know each other. These visits are made possible with the financial assistance of the Laona Lions Club and are very beneficial to both the students and the residents.
We also had a visit from the Wabeno Elementary Student Council. We played several games of Wisconsin Jingo and enjoyed their energy and enthusiasm. They held several fundraisers this past fall and wanted to do something special for us. They generously donated money towards our new TV and IPAD.
Speaking of our IPAD, we've been playing around with it. It's been fun learning how to "Google". We've gotten more than a few laughs over the "Photo Booth" feature and have had a few family members ask about Face Time and Skype.
One of the most loved activities remains bingo. We played a lot of it during January. Paper "Nu-Roc" money is won; this money can be turned into the office for the real thing. It can also be used to purchase items from the snack cart that goes around once a month, or saved for the auctions that are held several times a year. It's not so much the fabulous prizes; however, the game is just fun to play!
With February comes Valentine's Day. The activity department is going to be selling carnations. They will be available in red, white, or pink. They will be tied with a ribbon and include a small card. The carnations will be $2.50 each and will be delivered on Tuesday, the 14th. To order, call 674-4477 extension 608 or talk to any activity staff member.
Have a great February!
