fice has been moved to the
former Oesch shoe store
building, and Cleve

snow storm to celebrate their
special day.
Last Tuesday evening, the
residents enjoyed a musical
program and fashion show
presented by the Junior
Members of the Mennonite

refreshments.
Now that housecleaning
time is here, perhaps you
might have nylons or panty
hose which are beyond wear-
ing that would be very useful
for our residents' projects in
the Hobby Shop.
A video program was en-
joyed on Wednesday evening.
Residents who were out
during the week were Messrs.

evening followed by
