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 the membeir who does the work.
