We’re nearing the end of determining our vendors for next year. If you are a Lion with a business that benefits the Center please email me @ fcoates@mccunecenter.org. This will be our last month to obtain quotes and we love working with our Lions.

We also have an opening in our nursing department for PCAs and Med Techs. The Center is a very positive place to work with great benefits and even greater people. Again, please contact me if you are a compassionate, organized caregiver.

Volunteers are also needed. The residents are asking for activities on weekends. The people that live at the Center are lots of fun have great stories and like to do things. Please think about spending your free time with us.

Volunteer Day
Under the guidance of Lion DC Cantrell will be reported in the next GNL. Thanks to all of the following volunteers that came out to make our grounds more enjoyable. We appreciate you so so much! We have gravel ready, black dirt, fertilizer, tillers, mulch and lots of flowers. We also had delicious home-made food and lots of fellowship. This is the one event that I look forward to the most.

Bill Smith, Ken Hamlin, Debbie Hicks, Jerry & Barb Catlen, Bess Owen, Dave & Martha, Larry & Sarah, Jim Edgar, Fred Husher, Bonnie Curtis Erickson Lu Price, Charlie Wilhelm, Jim Coates, Billy Morrison, Robert Kirkendoll….Thanks You All

Yard Sale, Bake Sale, and Car Wash and Cook-out
Definitely something for everyone! Please email our Activity Director, Deniece, at Deniece@mccunecenter.org if you have donations for our yard sale. We are not taking clothing but whatnots, kitchen gadgets, bikes, furniture, books, toys, you name it! If you need assistance getting a large item to us please call 828-582-7144 for Jim. We may be able to assist with a pick-up if the item is within 20 miles of us. We also need volunteers but most of all; we need you to come for the fun!

Logo
Is almost finalized with many thanks to the hard work of Lion Debbie Hicks with assistance from Lions Bonnie Erickson and Tony Angel. Once this is completed we will send it out to all of our Lions and offer McCune Tee Shirts at a reasonable price. The logo suggestions have been true art and I can’t wait to see what the Marketing Committee and our Board of Directors decide!
