We are looking forward to 2023! 2022 ended in great success. During the last week of December, we ALMOST reached our capacity of 25 guests in one day. If two weren't sick, we would have hit that number! That would have been the first time for this year. We have 3 families working on the enrollment process to hopefully start the first of January. We are blessed to offer amazing services to our surrounding community to offer a safe place for loved ones to go while caregivers get the respite they need also. If you know someone in need of day services, please have them contact us for more information.

January we will be replacing our carpets in the activity room and replacing the carpet in the dining room and art room with laminate flooring. We will be purchasing 25 new chairs to put in the art room. Thanks to all that supported during Giving Tuesday to help us meet this goal! Look for pictures in next month's Enews.

Starting in January our Butler students will return to finish the second phase of their music study with our guests. Our IUPUI graduate student, Tori, will be returning to provide art therapy Mondays and Fridays for the remaining semester. We are so blessed to have such a great relationship with our local universities to bring such diverse programming opportunity to our guests.

Every day at Still Waters I see the impact of Dr. Martin Luther King. At Still Waters we are building a community and a culture of inclusion. Our guests and staff are all connected and invested in the well-being of one another. We celebrate the uniqueness that we each bring to the center. The love at the center is contagious.

This month we will participate in various service projects to support our community. Look for them in next month's edition.

'Love is the greatest force in the universe. It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. He who loves is a participant in the being of God." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Special shout out to all the volunteers and families that supported our gift-wrapping fundraiser in December. We wrapped hundreds of gifts over 10 days. Our volunteer elves brought magic to families for the holiday season. Don't forget to mark this on your calendar for next year. This is a great way to get your gift wrapping done while supporting Still Waters.

Thanks again to all our gift-wrapping volunteers.

We would love to invite all our donors, volunteers, and staff to our first annual appreciation event! We will provide food, entertainment, and laughter for all!

Fowling Warehouse, Indianapolis

We will celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through a drum circle offered by Bongo Boys and various community service projects.

A Caregiver support group for those providing care to loved ones with age related disorders/diagnosis. It is a safe and confidential place to share experiences, listen, learn, and reflect. This is open to anyone providing support to an aged loved one anyone is welcome to attend at no cost.

This beautiful gift of devotion to another human being often results in self-neglect. When we can access and honor our own feelings and needs, share similar experiences with others, and discover the lessons along our paths, we return to our loved ones strengthened and replenished.
