Thank you to the Chanute Elks Lodge 806 for being a major help in getting us a new carpet extractor! This is an important tool for helping to maintain our locations at a lower cost, and we’re incredibly grateful to now have this tool!

The AbilityPoint hosted their first themed dance of the year, and KETCH joined in on the fun. The Valentine's Day dance was a sweet event, and everyone had a great time together!

Congratulations to Elissia! Not only did she predict the Super Bowl winners, but her name was drawn from among the Seattle Seahawks guesses during our Pre-Super Bowl lunch! Her reward? A king-sized candy bar and all the bragging rights of predicting the winning team!

On Saturday, volunteers from Wichita State University and United Way of the Plains "Wu's Big Event" joined our Facilities Manager to completely refresh the PACE 2 program! This new coat of paint is a welcome change for the program’s environment!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered. Your willingness to volunteer was essential to move this improvement forward, and helps KETCH provide a supportive and positive environment for persons served and their staff.

Who’s ready for the Super Bowl? KETCH is! And we celebrated with a Pre-Super Bowl lunch; chili dogs, nachos, and plenty of pop! We also made predictions for who will win this Sunday. Which team do you think will come out on top?

While Devon is a fan of basketball and playing on his Special Olympics team, he is also known as the king of the dance floor and loves to attend The AbilityPoint dances.

When he’s not cutting a rug at Club Rodeo, practicing his basketball skills is his preferred activity with his teammates.

Thank you, Reddi Industries, Inc, for hosting several of our own basketball stars as they practice with their Special Olympic Basketball teams! We were able to use one of these practices to catch up with Philip.

When he's not volunteering in the concession stand at WSU, he's displaying his famous 3-pointer during these practices. Wish him luck in the upcoming regionals!
