2 SPOTLIGHT: Diane Russell Diane has been with Choices Network, Inc. since 2007 and has been here for all the changes within as we moved on to what Choices is today! Diane grew up in Herington, Kansas and attended school in Hope, Kansas. She graduated from Salina Central High School in 1977 and then attended Salina Vo-Tech. She lived at home after graduation and eventually moved to her own apartment, which she has lived in for 25 years with support from her staff. At one-time Diane owned a blue Mustang that was a gift from her father. She said once the horn on the Mustang began honking for no reason and woke everyone up in the apartment complex. She said she wasn t very popular the next day around there! They never figured out why the car did that. One of the things that Diane loves to do is attend concerts, especially the Oakridge Boys. She has seen them many times, mostly at the Kansas State Fair. She also likes the Price is Right and attended the show when it was held in Salina. Diane likes to eat out and some of her favorite restaurants are Chili s, Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse. It s amazing that as much as Diane likes to eat out, over the last ten years she has lost over 200 pounds! She accomplished this by listening to her doctors and staff, watching what she ate and walking lots of miles. Diane also likes going to movies and recently saw the new Winnie the Pooh film. In her spare time Diane likes shopping, spending time with her family, going to church and church potlucks. She loves spending Sundays with her Dad at church and then out for breakfast and visiting. This Christmas Diane and her family are taking a cruise to the Caribbean. They will visit Roatan Honduras, Cozumel, and Puerto Costa Maya! Diane has been on several cruises over the years but nothing as exciting as this! She will have much to see, taste and explore. So, while Diane is soaking up the sun with her toes in the sand, seeing the Mayan ruins, Coral reefs, scuba diving, snorkeling, and visiting all the great shops her friends in Kansas will be wearing heavy coats and snow boots! Bet she will have a big smile on her face! Upcoming events: We will be joining USD #305 students in pumpkin painting on Thursday, October 25th from 9:45 to 10:45 at Salina West Alternative School 501 W. Cloud. The pumpkins are then taken to Ashby House to be given to families! Holiday activities Parade of Lights We are planning to have a holiday float again this year in the Parade of Lights.
