KETCH

Thank you to board members Jim & Jamie Malone for your sponsorship!

Congratulations to the two winners of our How Green Can You Be Contest! We know the gnomes we sent home as prizes will feel at home with the King and Queen of Green!

Meet Dale, he’s practically the life of the party at KETCH! Whether he's at OSAGE playing BINGO or basketball, collecting WWE figures, or hanging with friends, he brings fun wherever he goes!

We hope you all had a festive St. Patrick’s Day! We certainly did, with plenty of St. Paddy’s day treats and a ‘How Green Can You Be Contest!’. If you aren’t already, follow us on Facebook to see who wins.

A big thank you to our Everything But The Kitchen Sink sponsor, Guardian Pharmacy Services! Your support helps make the KETCH Burger Battle 2026 possible, and we are so grateful to have you on board. Thanks for standing with us to empower adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through every bite!

We’re thrilled to welcome Jumbo's Beef & Brew as our first competitor in the 2026 KETCH Burger Battle!

Thank you to the Chanute Elks Lodge 806 for being a major help in getting us a new carpet extractor! This is an important tool for helping to maintain our locations at a lower cost, and we’re incredibly grateful to now have this tool!

The AbilityPoint hosted their first themed dance of the year, and KETCH joined in on the fun. The Valentine's Day dance was a sweet event, and everyone had a great time together!

Congratulations to Elissia! Not only did she predict the Super Bowl winners, but her name was drawn from among the Seattle Seahawks guesses during our Pre-Super Bowl lunch! Her reward? A king-sized candy bar and all the bragging rights of predicting the winning team!

On Saturday, volunteers from Wichita State University and United Way of the Plains "Wu's Big Event" joined our Facilities Manager to completely refresh the PACE 2 program! This new coat of paint is a welcome change for the program’s environment!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered. Your willingness to volunteer was essential to move this improvement forward, and helps KETCH provide a supportive and positive environment for persons served and their staff.
