EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION
GIFT FUND CAMPAIGN 2024
Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today! The fundraising campaign for the Employee Appreciation Gift Fund (EAGF) is underway. It is our opportunity to show our gift of love to the many loyal employees who work on our beautiful campus and provide us with the many services we enjoy daily. The EAGF program was started in 2012 as a way to express our appreciation to ALL of our employees, not just the ones we see every day. As a community, our giving efforts will express our gratitude and thanks for a job well done! The campaign this year runs from April 1 to June 30, with check distribution in July and August.
Please take time today to make your contribution to this effort. We contribute to the fund as our financial situation and our hearts direct us. Collection boxes are located near each of the dining facilities, the MHCC Main Lobby and the Personal Care Lobby (lower level). If you prefer, you may make your contribution at the Peoples Bank in the Clubhouse or send a check directly to Glenn Achey at 202 Guest Drive. Checks should be made payable to EAGF.
By your generosity, we will demonstrate how highly we value our employees and their service to us!

Did you know that we build airplanes in the Rooster Woodshop? Well, not exactly. What you see in the photos is a child’s rocker made to look like an airplane. There is a large flat surface above the modeled exhaust manifold that provides for a play surface or even a snack table. This would be a novel gift for a young child. It is featured in our showroom if you want to visit us and check it out.
