Every Monday and Wednesday afternoon, the ClubHouse offers a "Quiet Time" Program for members who prefer a more tranquil atmosphere than what the morning ClubHouse hours offer. The hours of this program are from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Mental Illness Outreach Specialist Cindy Mitchell heads up the "Quiet Time" Program for the ClubHouse.  Participation in this afternoon program is by   referral only.  Past activities for the program include movies, bowling, nature hikes, fishing, picnics, miniature golf, going for rides, crafts, "make a meal" sessions and relaxation, stress, and fitness sessions.  Future activities are the Clay County Fair, Fort Dodge Apple Orchard and continuing the activities we have done in the past.

As the program coordinator, Cindy had recently asked the "Quiet Time" members what they liked about the afternoon program.

¨  Sue enjoys getting away from the "City".
¨  Dean likes "Quiet Time" because it gives him something to do.
¨  Duane enjoys being with others.
¨  Kevin likes "Quiet Time" because it's quiet and he gets to be
     outdoors.
¨  Connie likes that the group shares nature…and takes it all in.
¨  Chris likes "Quiet Time" because they do things that he enjoys.
