TRANSCRIPT

Our new bus was such

a precious gift from

Pam and Tom May—

after 8 long months

without transporta-

tion, they saw the

need and made it hap-

pen. Although not

successful in the

Aviva competition,

the residents and

staff alike had such a

great time participat-

ing in all the activi-

ties.

And, achieving certi-

fication with interna-

tional recognition af-

ter 5 years of hard

work was most re-

warding.

We are so blessed to

have the opportunity

to serve, work, and

partner with such lov-

ing and caring peo-

ple—thank you for al-

lowing us to share in

your lives.

Judy Lane, CEO

As I reflect over the

past year, I want to

pay gratitude to the

many many people who

help fulfill our mission

“Giving Purpose and Meaning to Every Life” every day. God has blessed us with so

many wonderful peo-

ple — our sponsor,

Kings Way Assembly,

our residents and

their families, our

Board of Directors

and leadership team,

staff and volunteers

as well as our commu-

nity partners.

Each part that we do

contributes to our

homes becoming a

place where every in-

dividual can live a life

of variety and sponta-

neity, opportunity,

companionship, of giv-

ing and receiving care

and of having purpose

and meaning in their

life.

Our mission, vision,

values and philosophy

(Eden) guide us in our

every-day work. We

believe so much in

what we do and our

team is so committed

to helping people live

life—not just exist to

be cared for.

As I think back over

the year’s work and

activities, I am most

proud of our new bus

at Kennebec Manor

and achieving certifi-

cation in the way we

deliver our care —

through the Eden

philosophy.

day. We are grateful to have the opportunity to now honour

them for what they have done for us.

The People Who Make It All Happen

Our Staff

I am proud to say that

even after twelve

years in this position I

continue to be im-

pressed and inspired

by our staff and volun-

teers who go above and

beyond every day.

Through good times

and sad times, and

even power outages

and boil orders, our

staff work to create

the best day possible

for each and every

person.

Among the many care

and support staff that

we hire on an annual

basis, we welcomed

Carol Kent, Community

Event Planner and Jane

Logan, Director of

Care and bid farewell

to Laura Patterson,

Jillian Jones Reid, Ann

Cregan, Deborah Wil-

son and Tracy Scott.

Fortunately we were

able to persuade Tracy

to come back and help

us with other projects.

Thank you for all you

do and all the extra’s

you do every day.

You Make a Differ-ence!
