Today something spectacular happened… I received a package in the mail from an anonymous donor that contained some new jewelry for our residents. Thank you so much to whoever sent such a thoughtful gift. Here is the article that sparked the whole thing:

Greetings from your fabulous friends at PNC! On February 12th, we did something new here at PNC. Any guesses? I’m not sure what you guessed, because surprise…I can’t read minds. Although please don’t tell my children that I can’t actually read minds... Sometimes I tell them that I have that “power” to ensure they are on their best behavior. Anyways, I am pretty sure whatever you guessed, you were wrong! So, what was it?

Imagine a drum roll in your mind…It was… a JEWELRY PARTY! We had received many donations of beautiful jewelry around Christmas time, and had lots left over. So, we decided we would have a jewelry party for the ladies right before Valentine’s Day. We had a fabulous day of showing jewelry and letting the residents pick out some new “bling” to adorn their necks and wrists. Kelsey and Jacy showcased the jewelry by walking them around for each resident to oohh and ahhh over. Everyone left with new “bling” and big smiles. The party was a hit, and many are looking forward to the next jewelry party.

Donations of new jewelry for our next party are always welcome. Thank you to everyone for always being so generous to our residents!

We are going to take a break from football for a week. Although, Richard does want to remind all of you that he did pick the Seahawks and Patriots to win this weekend… and he was right!

In last weeks PNC article (which can be read in the Borderland Press or the Cavalier Chronicle) our YouTube Jamfest was highlighted. We want to know if you were jamming out with us, what would be your song request?

Today is a celebration here at PNC… why you may ask??? Because the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers to advance to the next round of playoffs! Richard being the true Vikings fan he is, still isn’t rooting for the Bears. He wants the Seahawks or the Patriots to win. As upsetting as this is, Heather and Richard both agreed that since the Bears pulled off an amazing win, it would be appropriate to give away an amazing PNC cookbook. All you have to do is comment who you’re rooting for during the playoffs and you will be entered into a drawing to win. Go Bears!!!
