Byron Health Center continues to celebrate 50 years as a licensed nursing home in 2016 by performing 50 acts of kindness throughout the year. The 50 Acts of Kindness volunteer campaign mirrors Byron Health Center’s theme for 2016: Pay It Forward. Byron Health Center is emphasizing doing an act of kindness, out of compassion, not competition, without expectation of returned kindness to its team members and residents throughout the year realizing “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give”.
The next Act of Kindness in the community will be helping the gallery at Wunderkammer Company maintain its space on Sunday afternoon, February 28th. Byron Health Center residents, family and team members will volunteer to clean, organize, paint and much more to keep everything in the Wunderkammer Company building at 3402 Fairfield Ave in Fort Wayne looking fresh.
Bold. Provocative. Experimental. Unexpected. From the new 7,000-square-foot contemporary art center in the heart of Fort Wayne, Wunderkammer Company carefully curates exhibitions, educational programs, performances and special events that push boundaries, defy convention, spur conversations–and yes, sometimes court controversy. The art presented isn’t always easy to digest, but Wunderkammer Company is committed to sharing challenging work that otherwise might not find a home while welcoming audiences that are hungry for transformative personal experiences, meaningful dialogue with emerging artists, and stronger connections to their communities.
Another Act of Kindness will quickly follow on Leap Day, Monday, February 29th, by participating in the WBCL Leap Day Serve for Burn Survivors. Byron Health Center residents, family and team members will help with the item drive for The Burn Council of Northeast Indiana’s Burn Family Suites located at Saint Joseph Hospital in Fort Wayne by collecting Tide Pods; full-sized, neutral colored sheets and comforters; standard sized pillow cases and gas cards for families.
