Katie’s FUNd has been up to some great adventures lately!  In early February a group of 10 participants and a few staff took our first ever trip to DISNEYLAND!!  We drove down to Anaheim on Sat afternoon and checked into our hotel which was almost right across from the main entrance.  We had a simple dinner and then settled into the hotel for the night.  The next morning we grabbed a quick breakfast at the hotel and then headed over to the...

By: Amy Buesker, Katie’s FUNd Coordinator On Sunday night a group from Alpha went on the Holiday Trolley of Lights Tour with the SB Trolley Company.  If you’ve never been on this trip, we definitely recommend it.  For the past 4 years the Katie’s FUNd group has rented one of the trolleys and packed it full to kick off the holidays.  Sometimes parents, family members, or friends join us on the trolley too.  The night begins...

The Katie’s FUNd adventures of the past few months have been joyous and fun-filled.  The summer original musical production was a huge hit yet again.  This year’s show was entitled “Survivor: Fantasy Island” and pitted nursery rhyme characters against fairy tale characters in the ultimate battle for survival.  The actors worked hard for 6 weeks perfecting their lines and songs and finally performed for family and friends at...

The weather was perfect – sunny and warm, but not too hot with a cool breeze.  First stop on the adventure was Ostrichland which is right off the 246 between Buellton and Solvang. A few people in the group had been there previously, but for most of the group, this was a new experience.  We started by checking out everything in the...

The annual Katie’s FUNd camping trip was last weekend and it was a huge success yet again! Every year the anticipation of this event starts months ahead of time; participants begin making plans, discussing tentmates, and even packing their bags in preparation. This year we headed to Refugio State Beach for the weekend and although the weather was gloomy and cold almost the whole time, it couldn’t dampen our spirits! We arrived at camp at...

DJ Gavin “O’Roy” Friday night was the 9th annual semi-formal Starry Night Dance for Katie’s FUNd.  This year the dance happened to fall on the day before St. Patrick’s Day so we had a combination of people dressed up either in semi-formal attire or St. Pat’s Day garb.  DJ Gavin Roy even magically changed into a leprechaun for the night!  As always he kept the night exciting with a variety of music and...
