Clay Center Presbyterian Manor
Make Plans to attend the Annual Banquet and Fundraiser
The 25th Annual Clay Center Presbyterian Manor Banquet Fundraiser for the Good Samaritan Program will be April 22 at the United Methodist Church Family Life Center. The buffet supper will run from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
There will be a silent auction that will start at 3 p.m. and conclude during the event, and a chance drawing for prizes including two halfhogs, Kindle Fire HD, $100 gift card to Leiszler Oil, $50 Farmway gas card, $100 beef bundle and an Oak Cabinet home audio system with turntable. Chances are offered 1 for $1 and 6 for $5. The donor can choose to put their tickets in the specific pot for each item that they want. The meal is whole hog (smoked and cured) from Dieck/Clay Center Locker, and the fixings will be created by Clay Center Presbyterian Manor’s Dining Services. We have had generous support from local businesses and we hope a large crowd will come out and support us.

“Many of our employees view what they do as a calling, not just a job,” said Bruce Shogren, president and CEO. “Our dedicated employees make it possible for us to sustain PMMA’s mission, which directly impacts the wonderful care our 2,400 residents receive every day.”
Watch for details about Clay Center Presbyterian Manor’s Founder’s Day celebration activities.
Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America’s roots go back to 1947. Alice Kalb, a widow from central Kansas, appealed to a Presbyterian Church organization to establish a home for seniors. Her vision became the first Presbyterian Manor community in Newton, Kan., and inspired others to do even more. Today PMMA remains true to the spirit of Alice’s vision, providing quality senior services guided by Christian values.
