Congratulations to our 2026 Pool-Looza Champions!

1st Place - Gerald H.
2nd Place - Henry M.
3rd Place - Doug O.

Thank you to everyone who participated. It was a great 6 weeks of mostly friendly competition, lots of smack talk and a ridiculous amount of belly laughs. We all learned to not take ourselves too seriously and just have fun.

By an enormous amount of requests, our next tournament is getting organized right now!

So much spring over the past week!

Annual egg hunt, Elks Club Easter Bunny paid us a visit, a delicious Easter meal served by our phenomenal kitchen staff.
New hats were donated and prettied up to wear and/or decorate with. Coloring club got together and blew us away with the quality of their work.

Special thanks to our volunteers, our intern Leah, staff and one special rabbit for making it possible!

We've been busy learning, creating, exercising and playing!

Kathy Davis Vickers and Cate Cardella both came for crafts, Pool-Looza is in full swing and we should have a Tournament Champion this week!
Michelle Buntrock continues chair exercise classes and we are getting stronger! NIU students join us for Word Mining to keep our brains strong as well.
Patrice and friends from The Black Atmosphere Project gave us great info about managing chronic pain and inflammation with the use of spices and foods. She made pumpkin and sunflower seed tacos that were absolutely scrumptious!

Our community partners and volunteers continue to make life at BCM interesting and fun. If you are interested in presenting or volunteering at Barb City Manor contact Anne at acheladyn@barbcitymanor.org.
