Spring and Summer because we get to have so many neat outside
activities and upcoming events.

opportunity to see all of the staff, mingle with other families and for
your family member to introduce you to their JP friends! This is a super
fun day for all ages– all families and friends are welcome! Please RSVP to
Alisha at 770-441-1188 or [email protected].
FAMILIES: None of us are getting any younger...please make sure that we
have your plans or attorney contact information if something happens
to you. Many families have sent their information in a sealed envelope
marked confidential to be placed in a file just in case. It is important for
us to have written plans in place so we know how to advocate for your
child/family member when you are gone. Sometimes the best laid plans
go awry, please help us empower your family member by providing us
the information to assist them as we all want to make sure there are no
or little surprises for them.
HALL COUNTY: Burns has officially been sold in order for us to get the
construction financing for the new property. This does not change much
of anything moving forward for the individuals living at Burns. Our
contract is pretty tight and the new owners are very aware of our
needs, etc. Contracts are being signed, trees have ribbons and
topographical studies are being completed– we are hopeful that we will
open our Hall County doors by November 2017.
Kevin & Becky are on their annual trip– they started in Australia and will
end in Singapore. If you need anything while they are gone that is not able
to be handled by the case managers, please call the office or
Call/text Kelli 770-480-7511 for JP and Kyle 678-598-2080 for Beckel. Please
be on your best behavior as Becky calls regularly to check in and we only
want to give a great report!
HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS AT THE ACTIVITIES!!
July 24, 1930-Feb. 26, 2016
JIM RUWOLDT
Our friend, volunteer and confidant
YOU WILL BE MISSED.
You may have seen him sitting on the porch,
driving a van, handing out meds, serving food
or cleaning up. You may have assumed that he was an
employee with as much as you saw him, but he was actually the
guy who we knew we could count on for anything! And you
never saw him without his wife of 60 years, Bonnie!
Mr. Ruwoldt was Cindy’s father. At 85, he was always the first
one to respond to watch the group, serve a holiday meal, etc
and never left without asking if there was anything he could do.
He spent hours talking with families, attending Just Families
meetings, advocating for others and just being available to the
clients. Most importantly, he was a friend to all of us.
Our thoughts and prayers to Cindy, Bonnie and Kathy as the
days pass. Thank you for sharing Jim with us. We will never
forget the impact he made in all of our lives.
Per the families request, donations can be made in
Mr. Ruwoldt’s memory to Just People.
SPECIAL THANK YOU!
Thank you to Ann Stillwell, Lisa
Majdi and friends for helping
with Easter dinner and to Gail
Laddin for her monetary
donation to the food.
GOT STUFF?
Just Stuff is always
accepting donations of
furniture, clothing and
household items. Please call
678-291-0696 to schedule!
