Spotlight Stories
KRISTEN GOES TO INDONESIA
Kristen D. had an experience of a LIFETIME! Her Host Home Providers, Juanita and Lendy took her on an extraordinary adventure to their home country of Indonesia for several weeks. She was immersed in the Indonesian Culture. She met new friends, she experienced new foods, she learned about the culture, she saw many parts of the country, she experienced dance and music, she experienced all types of transportation, she learned about the history, and she LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! Kristen, Juanita and Lendy helped many of us here at CSSI feel like we went on the adventure as well. They shared a slide show and many Indonesian foods while we watched and heard all about the adventure. We are ever so grateful for Juanita and Lendy for giving this experience to Kristen! It met the meaning of 'Once in a Lifetime opportunity!'

Spring Fling, May 30, 2024
SPRING FLING will be a lasting memorable event! Many came in their disco attire and danced the night away to Klassy K the DJ. This year we held our Spring Fling at Noonan's Bar and Grill, enjoying the lovely atmosphere of the event/dancing room. The dance floor was filled most of the evening and the energy in the room was filled with laughter, smiles and genuine fun. This is an event we will want to repeat!

April 2024 Yoga Night
On April 25, 2024, Guided By Humanity hosted a heartwarming yoga event for Community Support Services, Inc. It was an afternoon filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful connections as our community came together to embrace the beauty of adaptive yoga. Participants and their staff joined in on the yoga session, tailored to accommodate diverse needs and capabilities, followed by a soothing sound bath experience. Through the guided yoga session, participants had the opportunity to explore movement, mindfulness, and self-expression, empowering them to connect with their bodies and minds in new ways. A special thank you to Guided By Humanity for hosting us!

Bingo Night, March 2024
We were able to gather again for another fun and exciting night of Bingo! Focus and determination were in the air, as each participant listened intently for their number to be called. We had many winners, wonderful prizes, great snacks, and most importantly we shared time and space as a CSSI Family again for another memorable event.
ANNUAL MOUNTAIN RETREAT
August 2023
The Annual Mountain Retreat was a favorite for many! About thirty people came together and headed off to the Woodland Park area to Quaker Ridge Camp on August 22nd, 2023. Our days and nights were filled with fun, laughter, hiking, archery, team building course, evening campfires, playing pool, games, a mountain slide and more!!! Everyone had fun together, helped one another, developed friendships, and just enjoyed being together in our beautiful Colorado mountains in this lovely setting!
What a joy to return to this fun annual event! We can hardly wait for next year!!!
October 26, 2023 Halloween party
We had a great turn out and the perfect weather for our annual CSSI Halloween party!
CSSI Halloween costume contest was "Vote For Your CSSI Peers" theme this year. We let all the people we support that came to our party Vote for each other.
Categories were:
Most Creative: the winner Selena was a homemade mirror.
My Favorite: the winner Chris was an Angel with white robe, wings, halo and a harp.
The Scariest: the winner Ryan was a mysterious "Kyeday Predator" with a helmet that he personally synchronized CSSI names to digitally read across the top of the helmet including Jayne , Teresa, Nicole, and the letters "CSSI" to cover everyone's name.
The Funniest: the winner Beth was Super Mario with a great mustache.
First, we started the evening with a Halloween photo booth, and each person then took their polaroid picture to a conference room to place the picture in a frame and decorate their keepsake picture. Then everyone gathered into another conference room to decorate their very own pumpkin with stickers. We laughed, danced a little and enjoyed treat bags filled with yummy snacks while fun Halloween/dance music played in the background. Then last but not least , everyone's favorite part of the evening was to vote for each other's costume. Each winner received a $25 gift card to Walmart.
Field Day, July 2024
On July 18 the CSSI family got together at Tierra Park for fun and friendly competition at our Field Day event! Participants were able to try out activities like an obstacle course, badminton, ladder toss, tug of war and hula hooping. Lots of loud cheers were heard as everyone showcased their skills, and our community was celebrated as we shared a light meal and called out the prize winners!
