We now offer an orga- nized program for those with Alz- heimers or related conditions' both Mondays and Fridays. This program provides tempo- rary relief for caregivers, enabling them to keep their family members in their own homes for as long as possible. Last week the participants in this program enjoyed games, ex- ercises, music and outdoor walks. Margie Lougheed is our Alzhei- mers program coordinator. For more information or to make a re- ferral, please give her a call. We also welcomed special guests from Grades 4, 5 and 6 from Sacred Heart School in Wingham , who performed the story "David and Goliath". We thank them for visit- ing the centre. As well, pupils from Grades 3, 4 and 5 at East Wawanosh Public School and their teachers, Miss Mathers and Mrs. Hessels, visited the centre last Tuesday. The stu- dents showed slides and performed the play "The Pied Piper". Follow- ing the presentation, they spent time with the seniors, sharing sto- ries, poems, jokes and songs. What a delightfurgroup it was. We hope they will return for another visit. Last Wednesday, we fastened our seatbelts for a trip to England. Muriel Alcorn of Gorrie shared a wonderful videotape of her recent four-week vacation to England. Rev. Brad Morrison of the Unit- ed Church in Teeswater was our guest last Thursday. His message was on"fhe role of seniors in society and the importance of grandpar-' ents. Mr. Morrison said grandpar- ents can influence the lives of grandchildren by listening, praising and sharing feelings. They also can point them in the right direction if they need help. Keeping the lines of communication open also is im- portant. A question and answer pe- riod followed. In closing, I'd like to share our weekly quotation: "The weak are always strong enough to find ex- cuses." Spring has sprung here at the day centre. The month of May saw many guest speakers, Solvieg Axel- dottir of.Jceland, Rev.
