Golden (impscs ZURICH - What a party! Our annual Christmas party for the Residents and their families was held on Sunday afternoon with a record number in attendance. Prior and during the dinner hours, Idella Gabel played the organ, Bob Hey- wood took his turn on the accordi- on and finally Carolyn Love fin- ished off with a number of organ renditions. All during [his time, families were visiting. and enjoy- ing the turkey and ham pre - Christmas dinner complete with all the trimmings. Without the hard work of all of the staff, par- ticularly the kitchen staff, mem- bers of the Auxiliary who worked their shifts and some Board mem- bers and their wives who also pitched in to help, all this would not have been possible. We extend our appreciation to each and everyone for whatever part they may have played to assist in this successful event. Residents enjoyed the video pro- gram on Monday evening which showed scenery of winter in Colo- rado, Central America and a perfor- mance of Sea World in Florida. On Tuesday evening, we were , pleased to have the Christian Re- formed Choir singing for the Resi- dents. The sunshine on Thursday after- noon prompted some of the Resi- dents to accept the invitation to go for bus ride in and through the Grand Bend arca. Thanks to Marc Chalut of Bayfield for the outing.
