Adopt-a-Client Holiday Campaign
by Diana Gornik
On December 23rd, at Midlane Country Club, Santa and Mrs. Claus, compliments of TINY'S SOCIAL CLUB, put the HO HO HO in Northpointe's annual party for the clients.
The season was celebrated with performances by members of the "Northpointe Choir", dancing to PALS the DJ, while the tables were topped off with peppermint topiary centerpieces created by the Art teacher, Cathy Kanvik, and students of ST. PETER'S SCHOOL in Antioch. The excitement built as presents were distributed by volunteer "elves", including Miss Zion and Miss Lake County, to nearly 300 clients.
Thanks to so many friends of Northpointe, families, businesses, Board of Directors and staff for donating these wonderful gifts that caused screams of joy and miles of smiles at the party. A special thanks to Julie Pendleton and MIDWESTERN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER in Zion for "adopting" 80 clients. And to Bo Thompson and ST. PETER'S SCHOOL in Antioch for "adopting" 40 clients. In addition Kathy Carroll along with her family and friends "adopted" 15 clients and Jonathan Harris and CONGDON FUNERAL HOME in Zion "adopted" 10 clients.
