Queensway schedules Senior Diners
HENSALL - The poll at Queensway was
a busy place Monday as a good number
of residents turned out to exercise their
right to vote. Several residents also men-
tioned that they were pleased that Barb
Fisher, Conservative Candidate and Paul
Steckle, Liberal made time in their busy
campaign schedules to visit Queensway.
Rev. Alex McGillvery of the Zurich and
Dashwood United Churches led worship
Tuesday with Belva Fuss as volunteer
organist. Rev. McGillvery also sang a few
gospel songs.
The Lakeview Singers gave a beautiful
gospel music program Tuesday evening
with their four-part harmony. Residents
especially welcome the visiting that takes
place following the program while every-
one enjoys refreshments.
Thank -you to volunteer Klaas Van
Wieren for his skill at the barbecue
Friday as the nursing home residents
feasted on hotdogs, hamburgers and sal-
ads in the courtyard. Mrs. Murray East
and Edna Deitz also lent a hand. The
beautiful sunny day, slight breeze, deli-
cious meal and good company made for
increased appetites.
Canada Day was well-recognized at
Queensway when Lisa Stewart, regis-
tered music therapist, was in for the
morning with games and Canada Day
music. Her patriotic red maple leaves on
ribbon and balloons as well as her red
and white attire left no doubt as to the
day being celebrated.
Residents also benefited from exercises,
massage with Lori R.M.T., breakfast
group, euchre, manicures and friendly
visits throughout the week.
Coming Events: July 8 at 6 p.m. Senior
Diners; July 15 at 4 p.m. Trip to
