Volunteer of the Month

We are pleased to have Layton Peck come to

KWCC on Fridays and share his talent.

Layton Peck has been playing guitar since 1964 and has been performing professionally since 1976, encompassing hundreds of venues, many different musical styles, and real life engagements in every Province of Canada, also in The United States, The Caribbean, and Europe. He has taught music, specifically guitar for the Ottawa Board of Education, Ken Parisien Music in Ottawa, privately (on and off over the years), and most recently was

a guitar and Western Music Instructor at the Naad Academy in Surrey BC. He has had success as a guitar teacher, both one on one and in a class setting, making

'having fun, making music' the top priority.

It has also been his privilege to work and perform live with several major Country, Pop, Folk, Rock, Punjabi, and Jazz recording artists, and bring a level of maturity and wealth of experience to the teaching and learning of music through

guitar.

Thank you for sharing with us and God bless you!!

Playground Equipment Donation

Recently, the Boys & Girls Club of Saint John

donated a section of their playground equip-

ment that they no longer needed to the Indoor

Playground at Kings Way Care Centre. This won-

derful gesture will reduce our fundraising ef-

forts by thousands of dollars. To help us reach

our goal to finish the playground, you may

want to consider hosting a Ten for Tea Party – for

further information, please contact the Founda-

tion Office at 847-1131, ext. 1124.

Over the Top

We all feel a little out of sorts when we are having a ‘bad hair day’. One of our Care Support employees at Kings Way Care Centre-Vicki O’Neill also works in our Hair Salon. Vicki goes above and beyond to ensure our residents have their esthetics needs met.

She is wonderful, caring, patient and offers an individual outlook to each and EVERY resident. There are so many wonderful looking hair do’s. Not only that but they are all different to suit each resident in an individual way. Normally what you see is the same hair cut with rollers. We are all so proud to say that her attention to detail while giving care to residents does not just stop at the hair, but their total beauty appearance, like removing facial hair, etc.

Even the male residents get cuts and shaved to suit their needs.

Vicki never seems hurried and know the desires of the residents and of how to improve their looks, just as they would have expected in their younger years. Vicki’s mom, Jean is also a resident here at Kings Way Care Centre and what a joy for her to see her daughter on a daily basis.

If you look good, you feel good!

1. Place your order with Kim Shaw. Simply check off the item and

quantity.

2. Pay for your purchase at time of order.

3. Orders will be placed twice a month – approximately the 15th and

end of month for those items that are paid for.

4. Items will be delivered to Kings Way Care Centre and you will be responsible for picking up. Please contact Kim in Foundation to

make arrangements.

5. If quantities are too large, perhaps consider sharing with a friend or

co-worker.
