This morning Kolton Kloosterman, along with his little brother, and parents stopped by Community Living in Campbellford. It was a special visit that Kolton was making. His 6th birthday is Dec 25, Christmas Day and he held his birthday party this past weekend. He invited 25 friends and family to celebrate with him. They had a great time bowling and enoying the party. The special part of the party was Kolton’s idea…the invitations he sent out requested the people attending his party to purchase gifts for donating to the toy drive in lieu of buying birthday presents for him. As you can see from the pictures, Kolton’s donation filled Santa’s Sleigh. Thank you so much Kolton, you will make Christmas morning a happy one for many children this year. Everyone here at Community Living Campbellford/Brighton wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy 6th Birthday.
Thanks to the Rodeo organizers and Cheryl Dunk we enjoyed some one on one time with the horses and the cowboys to explain to us what Rodeo life is all about.
Our organization works hard to participate in community events. Here we are at Campbellford’s Waterfront Festival with information about our organization as well as some promotional items for sale.
Sunday July 12, 2009 was another beautiful day for our first annual golf tournament held at Salt Creek Golf Course in Warkworth. Thanks to many local businesses many prizes were available for everyone to win. A lovely BBQ was enjoyed by all. First place winners came in with a -10 and received gift certificates for dinner at a local restaurant of choice. A total of 54 golfers enjoyed the day and look forward to golfing again next year. Thanks to Ryan Yarrow, Melissa McGriskin, Rachel Petherick, Katrina Joice and Shawn Devries for organizing the event. This was not only a fun day, we raised $1830.00 for the Outcomes Sponsorship Fund as well.

Meilleur also took the opportunity to speak about the provincial government’s investment of $3.3 million in base funding for the 48 developmental services agencies in Central Eastern Ontario. It is partially designed to close the wage gap between agency staff in this area and those working elsewhere in the province. “We are working hard to ensure that social services workers get paid a fair wage and people with a developmental disability and their families have the support they need,” the Minister said. |
