THE MARTIN BOYD BANNER

2nd Quarter 2025

Happy Spring! ������

We had a wonderful winter at Martin Boyd Christian Home, enjoying snow days filled with fun activities while staying warm indoors Our dedicated staff, including myself and administration, spent several nights on-site during snowy and icy conditions to ensure our residents were well cared for

Now, we eagerly welcome spring! We're thrilled to see the grass turning green, flowers blooming, and hear the birds chirping. We invite you to visit and enjoy time outside in the courtyard, on the swings, or take a stroll around the building as we prepare for the full bloom of our spring flowers

Sunday, April 20th: Special Easter Sunday Lunch – Please let us know if you plan to join your loved one

Thursday, May 8th: Annual Mother’s Day Tea – Celebrate with tea and treats; we'd love your company Saturday, June 7th: 2nd Annual Father’s Day Car Show – Bring the family for sun, treats, and classic cars.
