Queensway volunteers appreciated HENSALL - There is a special place in heaven for volunteers. This is a line from a poem read on Thursday night at Queensway, at the annual volunteer appreciation night. "This night is to thank all of you volunteers for having been here during the course of the year," said Mary Ellen Groves, activity co- ordinator. The evening included entertain- ment from volunteers, residents and staff. Some people sang hymns, others played the piano, and read poems. Bill Clark, a recipient of meals on wheels and father of one of the staff members, played the fiddle. A touching moment was felt when Carol Gascho, a health care aid and Marg Coates, a resident, shared a duct. Both partners sang with strong, beautiful voices. Gascho, later explained through tears, "Marg has Altztimers Disease very had, and usually she has great difficulty forming sentences, yet she can sing. She did just wonder- ful tonight." The evening concluded with warm snacks from the kitchen, and many shared words of gratitude. Ao0ifiir • eep YJ. The Original Jeep.
