5 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Have you ever thought about volunteering at Knife River Care Center? If you are interested please stop by the Activity Office to pick-up a Volunteer Application or contact Carey VanPelt at There are a variety of services that we could use assistance with. If you like to play the Wii, board games, play cards, read to the residents, visit in the German language, clean out flower beds, bake cookies, these are just a few of the ideas that you could assist us with. We look forward to seeing you! If you happen to be walking by the Fellowship Hall, you may notice there is a new pet that has taken up residence at Knife River Care Center. This new pet is a beautiful creature, it almost looks real! It neighs, moves it s head, shakes it ears when you scratch them and swishes it s tail. Can anyone guess what it is? It is a Fur Real Horse. This horse came to the Knife River Care Center compliments of Rachel Horning of Zap. It has brought much delight to our resident s who reside here. Rachel, thank-you! For being so generous and kind with your gift. Your generosity will always be remembered!
