(photo/PatBolen) 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 Dashwood Community Living Party; July 16 at 7 p.m. Friendship Friday with Harvey Smith and Friends.
