It was certainly lovely weather for the last holiday of the summer. That "Special Person" we had a surprise party for last week was Rev. Stan McDonald. Our dining room was Med with our residents as well u several United Church ladies and friends of Rev. McDonald. It was a lovely afternoon as Theodore Gray and Lorne Johnston played four pieces for us on the piano and violin, and Bill Gibson played several old memorable songs on the piano as well. After the entertainment, Rev. McDonald was presented with a silver platter in appreciation for everything he has done for Queensway over the years he has been in Hensall. We will certainly miss him when he goes to Corunna to his new church. Following the entertainment and presentation a lunch was served to our guests and residents. It was an afternoon we at Queensway will remember for a long time. Rev. McDonald was our minister for this week's church service. That is how we got him to Queensway for his party! Needless to say, it was very well attended. Our Residents' Council met on Wednesday afternoon for their August meeting. We discussed upcoming events and various issues were brought up to council members. It was a very good meeting. Later that afternoon a Bridal Tea was held for Ruth Johnston, our dietitian, and Dale Gooding, our ac- tivity co-ordinator, as both girls will be getting married this September. Special thanks to the residents and staff of Queensway for the lovely party. On Wednesday evening we enjoyed our movie presentation entitled "Cir- cus Town". It was a very exciting movie about how the performers trained for their various acts and then the final performance. It was thrilling. On Thursday morning Rev. McDonald was with us again to hold communion for any residents who wished to attend. Mrs Dorothy Brint- nell came as a volunteer to help out with the service. Thursday afternoon our residents made their monthly trip to Zurich for bowling. We ended up with very close scores, but Florence Johns captured the ladies' high score and Lorne Johnston scored the men's high for the day. It was a fun afternoon.
