On August 6th the Suwannee ADT visited the County Extension office for an educational day. Cathy Rogers, Extension Agent explained the of daily water intake. The classroom talked about what product shave good water and when it is important to drink water. A great hands-on project was included as the clients made their own water beads. A bead is moved from top to bottom each time a serving of water is drank. This project is a great visual reminder to drink plenty of water in a day.

Part of CCS mission goal is to provide the necessary training to function as independently as possible and each client is provided opportunities to participate fully in the community. The Suwannee IFAS extension agents did a great job providing education towards independence.

CCS visited Leslie Jacob and her equine buddies at Jacob’s Ladder Therapeutic Riding Center in Hahira, GA. The center is certified with NARHA, instructors who teach at NARHA Centers are required to achieve multi levels of Instructor Certification status. NARHA centers advocate for equine assisted activities and therapies and the equines in this work that inspire and enrich the human spirit.

Many of the clients choose to ride and groom the well mannered horses. With the help of CCS staff and Jacob’s Ladders volunteers the day turned into a memorable event.  Board Member, Cliff Adams is hoping to find away to make this adventure happen more frequently for those individuals who show interest in equine therapeutic activities.

Horseback riding for the disabled is recognized as one of the more progressive forms of therapy. The ability to control a horse as well as one's own body inspires self-confidence, responsibility and teamwork. Best of all, it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience,which creates a special relationship between rider and horse and promotes personal challenges.

Four areas are considered during this therapeutic session.

THE 29TH BANQUET WAS A HOME RUN!

altThe Sports Fan theme brought over 140 fans out to celebrate another year of success. Guests dressed up in their favorite team colors, or as their favorite sports player.  The tables were colored with centerpieces made by the clients and staff, displaying a variety of sport genre and favorite teams.
The CCS singers, along with music coach Dick Grillo entertained the crowd with sport songs including the Gator Chop and the Seminole War Chant. Guests joined the fun by participating in the Macarena and the Limbo. At the photo booth, silly caricature shots had everyone smiling and helped to get them feel like part of the lineup.

CCS Executive Director Bobbie Lake expressed his appreciation to all the First Federal Savings Bank Employees who donated their time and talent in helping serve the sit down dinner at the Cerveny Conference Center.
