Here in Bishop Hills, most of our activities are developed in creative ways that allow our resident to remain connected and active in the community.
· Kim’s Knitters: Weekly, a staff volunteer rekindles or teaches knitting/crocheting of small squares that connect for baby blankets or shawls. The afghans are shared with North Kent Service Center, new dads on navy deployment or new moms at United Memorial Hospital. The shawls are created for international friends in a nursing home in Dominican Republic.
· Ceramics: Weekly, residents work on items for themselves or to be used as gifts. Everyone helps make the annual gifts for volunteers.
· Navy Support Project: Each dining room table has a photo of a deployed ship and the table prays daily for the crew of that ship. This has evolved to shipments of over 6500 cookies, 9000 treat bags decorated by students and 24 baby afghans since 9/11.
· Chimers: A staff volunteers weekly to teach chiming and new songs for monthly road shows to entertain others.
· Bingo is enjoyed by residents each evening Monday through Friday
· Many, many more opportunities are available, from playing cards to watching travelogues. The biggest problem at Bishop Hills is not enough time and sometimes the residents have to make choices because of scheduling…it is a wonderful problem.
