Living Well Launches Fundraiser!

Living Well College has been given the opportunity to run the concession stand for Perdenales Youth Soccer Association for 8 Saturdays and 8 Monday evenings to raise money.  We have had our first weekend with approximately $400.00 profit.  We are selling drinks, hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, chips and candy.  Thank you to Board Members and parents who have signed up to help!  If others are interested in helping please call Catherine at 990-4799.  It’s lots of fun!

LW Volunteers will attend Hospice training on Monday September 20, from 1-3PM.  Students will then help with a Hospice Ice Cream Social at Windcrest Nursing Home from 3-4:15pm.  Remember all Hospice Volunteers need a TB test.  They are free at Hill Country Memorial Hospital.

LW Volunteers will also start volunteering at the Fredericksburg Food Pantry in October.

Family Picnic a Success!

Many Families, Board Members, and volunteers attended the Family Picnic at Lady Bird Park on August 28^th.  Fishing, painting, volleyball, basketball, flying kites are some of the fun activities attendees participated in.  Not to mention the great food and a visit from Dog Flea the Clown!  Thanks to McDonalds for donating orange juice and cups, to Dog Flea for stopping by and showing us magic and making balloon animals and to everyone who helped make this a lot of fun.

Anne celebrated her Birthday with her fellow students at an LW Cooking Class.  Anne chose her cake and made it too!  Students sang her Happy Birthday!

On September 13^th, at Student Council, Dee was elected President.  Dee will help to create the meeting agendas and will chair the meetings.  Thanks Gregory for serving as President in July and August.  Student Council terms are six months.  Also discussed was Business Initiative profits, new ideas and how to get the word out about Living Well.  Students discussed adding another Business Initiative class in the spring.

Three students attended the field trip to the Johnson City Zoo.  We arrived early and got to feed the baby deer by bottle, then visited with deer, goats, a pony, and a moose in the petting zoo.  We got a private tour of the zoo on a trailer pulled by a tractor.  We fed all types of animals including a camel, a zebra, bison, ostrich, all types of deer, and so many others that I have forgotten.  The bison were the most amazing to me.  They were huge and ate right out of my hand leaving it wet and orange when they were done.  It was so much fun and the students had a great time too!  We found out we can get discounted entrance if we have a group of 10 or more and they have a nice picnic area for future trips there.

Debra Agnew, Executive Director of the Hill Country Community Needs Council announced that The Needs Council is able to assist with scholarship funds Living Well students in need.  Please contact Catherine Jeffrey at 990-4799 for more information about scholarships.  Debra is also assisting LW to find additional volunteers and resources for our students.  Thanks Needs Council!
