Missing Items
From time to time items get misplaced, go out with the laundry, and clothing returns from laundry without the name label it left with. If you notice that an item or article of clothing is missing here are the steps you can take.
Fill out a missing item form located near each nursing station and on the information rack just off of town square.
Report the missing item to staff
If you have not heard if the item was found after one week of reporting it missing, con-tact the Social Work Department at 402-591-4869.
It is also helpful to notify staff when bringing new items into the facility so that they can get added to the member’s inventory sheet. Thank You.

Employee of the
Month
August 2017
Kenny Dupell
Food Service Leader
Ken has exhibited outstanding job perfor-
mance and responsibility while performing
many duties as lead cook for the Dietary de-
partment. His willingness to help others, wher-
ever the need is required and a consistent posi-
tive attitude while demonstrating professional-
ism does not go unnoticed. Ken is always striv-
ing to improve his skill sets and leadership abili-
ties and in doing so is a great role model. He
has taken the time to teach and encourage
lesser experienced cooks for success. Ken has a
high level of proficiency in handling any task
assigned. His craving for perfection and humble
attitude creates a harmonious environment. He
leads by example and has 21 years of service
and dedication. Ken’s team player attitude and
the numerous overtime shifts he completes
helps keep the department running smooth.
The morning cooks appreciate when Ken fills in
for breakfast and lunch, which allows them to
enjoy a day off. Several times during the week
Ken makes homemade bread from scratch. The
member’s absolutely love his bread. He wel-
comes feedback when trying different varieties.
This is a tradition he started several years ago.
Ken’s bread gets better and better!

There was an amazing array of fireworks to enjoy on Monday night, July 3.
Thanks to the generous donation from Wild Willy’s!! All the fireworks were brought to the

Have you ever received a note of thanks or word of thanks from some-one for something you did for them? Sometimes maybe it was some-thing significant and you were not sur-prised with their expression of apprecia-tion. But sometimes you may feel that what you did or contributed was so insig-nificant ("that was nothing") that you were surprised by the appreciation.
Jesus mentions that even a cup of cold water given in His name was signifi-cant. God sees the love and intention in even the smallest things that we do in our relationships with one another.
Don't underestimate the value of those little bits of love and kindness that we can show in our daily relationships.
