We are thrilled to celebrate our incredible Chef Anthony Neal on successfully completing his CEC (Certified Executive Chef) certification! This achievement reflects months of dedication and hard work—from a rigorous written exam to an intense practical test where he crafted a four-course menu for Chef Evaluators and showcased his skills with market basket ingredients.

From deboning chicken and filleting fish, to working with live lobsters, mastering classic cuts and sauces, and countless hours of practice on his days off, Chef Neal poured his heart into every step of this journey.

Anthony has always had a deep passion for cooking and he dedicated this milestone to his late father, Orlandus Neal Sr., and his dear friend Chef Nate Dirnberger—both of whom he knows were cheering him on from above.

We couldn’t be more proud to have a chef who brings not only incredible talent to Mackenzie Place, but also heart, perseverance, and a true commitment to excellence.

Please join us in celebrating this amazing accomplishment—Congratulations, Chef Neal! 👏👨‍🍳✨

A heartfelt thank you to The Gazette for the beautiful article featuring our very own Wanda Stockwell. We had the joy of celebrating Wanda’s 103rd birthday on Friday, and this touching tribute was the perfect way to continue the celebration.

We are incredibly lucky to know Wanda—she truly is one of a kind.
Another big thank you to Abode Hospice for going above and beyond to make all of Wanda’s birthday wishes come true.

Talk about a full-circle moment! Mary recently had the chance to reconnect with former Mackenzie Place employee Nate—now a NASA flight controller. She always loved chatting with him about his dreams of working at NASA, and now he's living them. During a recent visit to town, Nate made a special stop to see his dear friend.

He brought Mary a meaningful gift: a mission patch from NASA’s Crew-10, designed by the four astronauts aboard a Crew Dragon that docked with the International Space Station in March. One of the crew members, Nichole Ayers, is from Colorado Springs and is a proud graduate of the Air Force Academy.

The crew is currently wrapping up their nearly five-month mission, during which they conducted hundreds of experiments aimed at improving life on Earth.

Mary, now 100 years young, still dreams of seeing Nate reach even greater heights—perhaps even space itself someday!
