Ministry of Labour Ontario Employment Standards Branch THE BRUSSELS POST, MAY 13, 1981 — AT Callender residents enjoy PI ay BY JANIS ACHESON On Sunday, April 5th, Rev. LeDrew was on hand to provide communion for staff and residents who wished to take part, In the afternoon, Mrs. Freda Pipe was at the Home to play the piano for the residents. On April the 7th, many residents went to East Waw- anosh School in Beigrave to enjoy the students' perfor- mance of "Going West." The play was excellent and• everyone enjoyed it thor- oughly. Afterwards, tea and cookies were served by the students. Their gentleness and genuine concern for our senior citizens was lovely to watch. Transportation for the day was provided' by volun- teers from the Belgrave area. Their assistance was very much appreciated. Mrs. Margaret Exel and Mrs. Cathy Bridge of the Brussels Majestic Institute made some lovely crocheted tray favors for each resident for Easter. They were colour- ful and unique and we appre- ciate the thoughtful gesture. Just before the Easter weekend, Paula Keifer, a staff member, brought two "Easter Bunnies" to the Home. They were at the Home for the whole day and were the centre of attraction. Each resident had the op- portunity to hold them and the bunnies seemed to enjoy the attention and affection they received. Once the East- er mood was established, we had many willing helpers to paint and decorate some eggs, with the assistance of Mrs. Ida Evans. On Good Friday, Mrs. Bev Cardiff came to the Home to conducte a Bible study pro- gram. She showed some religious slides and gave a very inspirational talk. Our Easter Sunday wor- ship service was provided by St. Ambrose Catholic Church The program was very mean- ingful and much appreciated by the residents and staff who were unable to attend a service outside of the Home. We would like to thank Mait-Side Orchards for bringing apples to the Home over the Easter weekend. Our residents enjoyed them very much. There were lots of oohs and aahs on the 20th when Betty Graber brought her new son, Phillip, to Calland- er for everyone to see. He seemed quite content to be passed around from resident to resident. Debbie Trollope, a staff member, had present- ed Betty with a large baby quilt the week before; the residents had secretly been working on it for quite some time. Everyone was overjoy- ed to see the new baby wrapped up in the new quilt. The staff and residents wish Betty and her new son all the best in the future. O ur April Birthday Party was presented by the ladies from the Cranbrook Insitute. They showed slides of Cran- brook as it used to be and as it is now. After the slide presentation, the ladies ser- ved beautifully decorated cupcakes and tea. Our April birthday people were; Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, Mrs. Beatrice Cardiff, Mr. Jack Thynne, Mrs. Orvilla McCu- tcheon and Mrs. Olive Shera. Orvilla McCutcheon won the Women's Bowling trophy in April and, after a tie between Mr. George Hislop and Mr. Frank Dunn, Mr. Dunn won the Men's Bowl- ing trophy. Mrs. Beatrice Cardiff won the Bingo trophy. Qn the 28th, we had a special treat when Mrs. Freda Pipe and Mrs. Alice Brothers teamed up to play a large number of piano dnets. The Home fairly rocked with music as these gals enter- tained staff, residents and visitors alike. The sitting room was packed, with an appreciative audience. On May 19th at 1 p.m. sharp, the Callender Nursing Melville Ladies Aid met at the home of Mrs. Allan Smith with eight members present. Mrs. Elsie Evans was lead- er and opened the meeting with all singing, Blest ,be the tie that binds, followed by praryer. Elsie Evans read a poem about Mother.
