Craigwlel Day Centre
gets pleasure from guests
A1SLA CRAIG - It has been said
that guests bring pleasure in two
ways; some by coming and some
by leaving. The guests in the last
few months at the Craigwiel Day
Centre have definitely been the first
kind!
Mary Mae Schwartzentruber,
pastor of the Nairn Mennonite
Church gave the Keenagers a de-
lightful cameo of life in Zaire,
through pictures and interesting
items that are memoranda of her
time spent in that country.
Evelyn McNaughton's trip to San
Francisco thrilled the group. This
time there was the added mystery
and intrigue of dark waters to add
excitement to the day.
Judge Marshman regaled them
with some stories of his experience
as a judge as he explained the
workings of our legal system. He
answered a lot of questions and
roused so much interest the seniors
have asked him for a return visit.
Ida Regio came to the centre with
the first showing of her art work,
sculpting and gold designing. The
seniors were highly impressed with
her work and hope she shares the
pleasure with others as well. This
talent has all been exercised only in
the lase seven of her retirement
years.
Donna MacCornjick and Cindy
Ryskamp, U.W.O. B.Sc.N. students
were snowed in on their first two
scheduled visits but are more than
making up for it in the pleasure
they've given the group 'with their
exercise program and illustrated
talks on various subjects.
One Monday, the group met at
the South Lounge of the Apart-
ments and were joined by many of
the tenants there to be introduced to
Alliance and Alarm Tech, two per-
- sonal protection systems.
Lifeline had also been invited,
but maybe the weather kept them in
London. These appliances can sure
be peace of mind for people living P'
alone and indeed for their families
as well. Several Keenager have
them and say all kinds of good
things about them. In many cases
they have also been life savers.
On Valentine's Day everyone was
in the spirit. The room was gaily
decorated with red hearts, lace and
flowers, as well as the shadows they
had "caught" in the previous week.
They sat down to a delicious roast
beef dinner with cherry cheese cake
. for desert. The carnations at each
table added a special feeling to the
day. Florence Noxell recuperated
enough from her broken hip that She
was able to be with them to cele-
brate her 94th birthday. At the close
of the day, the carnations were dis-
tributed to go home with the seniors
to remind us of the happy time they
spent together.
As for crafts, the red and white
bear's quilt is in its frame with a few
stitches in it, and patiently waiting
for the thimble crowd. The Keenag-
ers made printed posies and caught
those shadows that leave lingering
presence even after they've gone!
In the last few months, several
new people have joined the fun and
warm companionship the Day Cen-
tre offers, both in the Regular Pro-
gram and our Alzheimers and Spe-
cial Needs Program on
Wednesdays. Give the ventre a adl
if you'd like to join in or make use
of the services. Transportation is
available, so they're only a phone
call away.

Welcome Wagon Bridal Party
Brides -lobe, family and friends lined up for last Monday's Welcome Wagon Bridal Show.
Welcoming them to the show were Doris Weigand, Barb Soldan, and Cathy Seip.
Modelling the latest in tuxedos, top hats and tails were Rick Etherington (left) and Bill
Montgomery at last Monday's bridal show.
104 future brides attend show
Successful bridal party held
EXETER - Last Monday night,
March 2, the dream of the perfect
wedding, and the desire to create
it, blossomed as 104 future brides
and their guests were immersed
in a world of wedding plans.
They sampled products, viewed
displays, admired the chauf-
feured limousine and made con-
tact with various professionals,
as 23 community businesses
came together, once again, for
the eighth annual Welcome Wag-
on Bridal Party at the South Hu-
ron Recreation Centre. The party
was organized by local hostesses
Cathy Seip and Doris Weigand.
Upon registering, each bride-
to-be was given a gift package
filled vith wed tips, sample
produLrs and certificates
courtesy of the sponsors of the
party, as well as a chance to win
a door prize.
Singer Dania Thurman opened
the program in song. The audi-
ence was entertained twice dur-
ing the evening as she performed
two beautiful renditions suitable
for a wedding ceremony.
Throughout the evening, Mas-
ter of Ceremonies, Joanne Din-
ney introduced each participating
business, praising their quality
merchandise and their personal
and professional services.
Then, from the sophistication
of "tails" to the elegance of
"pearls and lace", excitement
mounted as the brides-to-be and
their guests enjoyed a dynamic
fashion show featuring several
local models. The models dis-
played beautiful bridal fashions
by The Wedding Knot, and the
very latest in co-ordinating for-
mal wear from Bud Gowan.
Fashions for the bridal trousseau
and honeymoon were from
Clothes Call. Country Flowers
provided the bridal bouquets and
the unique stage decorations.
Many future brides and guests
complimented the excellent fash-
ion show involving local models.
Organizers Weigand and Seip
say the evening would not have
been possible without the support
of the 23 businesses from Exeter,
London, Hensall, Grand Bend
and Clinton. Each business also
donated a door prize, as did the
hosting Welcome Wagon.
