PINECREST
HAPPENINGS
By Paddy Ann ten Pas
April has been a busy and a
happy month at Pinecrest Manor as
we have enjoyed such lovely spring
weather with the exception of a
couple of snowy days. Easter is
always such a lovely thankful time
of the year. We know that winter
is behind and a delightful summer
season lies ahead. It is also a joy to
reflect on the death and resurrec-
tion of our Lord and the price which
He paid, for each one of , us at
Calvary. /
The flowers at the 'Home have
been' particularly beautiful this
month as lovely yellow daffodils
have resided on all the dining room
tables and throughout the Home.
The children of the Christian
Reformed Bible • School were very
Much appreciated and enjoyed by
the residents as 'they spdnt Easter
Saturday morning at the Home and
presented everyone with some
delicious fruit.
One Sunday afternoon the Lang-
side Young People put , on an
impressive program which was so
well received and they left with
promise "they will be back in
June".
The programs this month at the
Home have been outstanding. We
have had children singing, danc-
ing, musical numbers and each
one, from the smallest tiny tot to
the Oldest visitor has been so
appreciated by residents, manage-
ment and staff alike.
We have been pleased to have
with us during the • month of April
the following -groups: Unit three,
Lucknow United Church; Kings-
bridge C.W.L.; ' Bethel Church,
Ripley; Brookside Public School
and Ashfield Women's' Missionary
Society. The Christian Reformed
Church Ladies, Bible SehOol and
Calvinettes have all been with us
this month. A special thanks for all
the effort!
The April birthday party
honouring five of our residents was
very well attended and featured the
'Olivet Group Of the Ripley United
Church who are "old friends" to
the residents. Once again a
beautifully decorated cake was
prepared by our own staff and
every crumb was enjoyed by all.
Those honoured that day were. Mr.
Wm. Rutherford, Mrs. Anna
Wright, Mrs. Margaret Hall, Mrs.
Gardiner and Mr: Marshall Gibson.
We do welcome this month the
residents of Pinelodge Retirement
Home to the area. We hope in the
future we will be able to enjoy some
pleasant times and activities to-
gether.
I neglected 'to mention last
month, and I apologize, the March
Communion service which was so
beautifully administered to the
residents of the Home. This
service is given to us by Rev.
Douglas Kaufman and Rev. Glenn
Noble and' is so 'appreciated by all:
LIFE'S LIKE THAT
It takes several persons to
make up a committee, but the
committee is no stronger than
