CHANGES

Along with all the new changes at Clubhouse for our goal for accreditation are many changes. The one change I am concerned with is our craft classes. We used to have two or three days a week at Clubhouse during the work ordered day as part of the Art work unit. Now since we are doing the work ordered day we cannot do crafts during the day.
We have had several craft groups in the evenings, during our Evening Weekend and Holiday program. We have had several groups in attendance. We did a lot of Christmas crafts with beads, made necklaces our of polymer clay, made Christmaas wreaths, and small Christmas trees.The okans are to have at least two craft evenings every month. Everyone seemed to really enjoy making the crafts. There was a lot of laughter and questions about what we were going to do next time. Along with the craft evenings we ahve had other activities we have had. The pot luck dinner went so well the food was wonderful and everyone had such a good time. We also has a New Year's Eve party and toasted the New Year with sparkling cider and sparkling grape juice. Everyone had a great time dancing the evening away.
We have plans for more evening and weekend activities. We have a karaoke and pizza evening event plannd and we have had a movie and dinner night for a long time. New ideas for future evening or weekend activities are always welcome. Come and see what we are doing and maybe you will just find out that you are havinf a great time. Fun and food? What more could you ask for? We may have to do our art classes in the evenings also, the accreditation process is going into effect a little at a time and we will just have to wait until the process has been fully implemented to know what direction the art class will have to take. Everybody will have to adjust to all of the new changes. Who knows they may even be better than what we were already doing/
