Added an Aquatic Therapy pool, another dementia care program, and Wraparound (community-based care).  Our west-side dementia day program moved to current site on Western Avenue in Green Bay, and a successful $1 million capital campaign allowed for the purchase of the building, soon to be dedicated the "Cloud Family Care Center."

We were also involved in many large fundraisers, including the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon, "i am sam" movie premiere, our Annual Golf Fun Day, the Making Life Easier Expo, and Ball-A-Palooza, a helicopter golf ball drop.
