Hands On St. Nick - A Makeover
St. Nicholas Family Clinic
1901 Kentucky Ave.
8:00 am - 6:00 pm
Come help us give this 20 year old organization a NEW LOOK! Help us paint, clean, organize and create a welcoming environment for our patients and the community.

Specific needs include: taping & mudding supplies, paint & artwork groupings, rugs, blinds & plants/interior foliage, soft fluorescents, baby changing station (x2), office organizers, L-shape desk, chairs, coffee tables, flooring – wood laminate & vinyl or tile, and volunteers.

Having served almost 7,000 patients since opening in 1994, St. Nicholas Family Free Clinic has made a significant impact on the health of our community and region. We are looking forward to giving back to the clinic by recruiting local businesses and volunteers to help lay new floors, freshen the walls with new paint, and organize the space for people to be proud of. Featuring JLF Interior Designs.

Where in the World is Keith Ford?

alt textOne of our fave event photographers, Keith Ford, has been conspicuously missing around P-town lately….and no, he’s not off selling his patented scopes for high-powered weaponry again.  Keith is also the systems engineer and documentation specialist (photographer) for a group called Adhesive Process Solutions, and he is traveling the world working on scientific engineering stuff, taking cool photos, riding in fast cars, and smoking fine cigars.  Doesn’t it all sound so INTERESTING and James Bondish?

Right now he is helping a company in Zhangjiagang manufacture a long life coating for the solar panel industry and they will eventually be making solar panels as well. The same gentleman that owns the plant in Zhangjiagang is setting up a HMA facility in Beijing and Keith and his team partner will be doing the engineering, set up, start up and training there as well. So far the places he has been to are Zhangjiagang, Gunagzhao, and Shanghai, China, Dubai and Abu Dhabi (wonder if he saw the Sex and the City gals there??), United Arab Emirates, Mumbai and Delhi, India, Istanbul, and Turkey.  Shortly, he should be in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

Keith states “It’s very hot and humid here, just like being at home. Zhangjiagang is small compared to Shanghai, but very, very clean, very polite people and so much neon light at night.  The hotel is wonderful, nice, very clean and inexpensive! Food has been good, so far no snake, dog meat or dog testicles like in Guangzhou!  The building and industry boom here is unreal.  Everywhere you look its constant building and its 24 hrs a day. Every day we have a personal driver pick us up in a BMW or Mercedes and bring us to the plant and back to the hotel or where ever I want to go. I have never seen so many Ferraris, Mercedes, Bentleys, BMW’s and Buicks anywhere. Every place I have been to in China has been ultra modern. The people are a very polite and gracious people. They love it when you take the time to show them how to do something. But the best thing about China so far has been the Romeo and Julieta and Cohiba Cuban made cigars. My God, they are amazing. “

Obviously, Keith Ford enjoys his cigars with an ice cold Dos Equis. Keith, come home and visit us soon!

Kudos to Keith.  I can say “I remember him when!” I worked with Keith when he was a student worker at WKCTC.  We miss him but are proud of him!
