She introduced the guest speaker, Karen Brand, who spoke about her experience with kidney disease. Her kidneys shut down while she was on vacation in Mexico five years ago. She was transferred to a hospital in Arizona where they had the proper equip- ment and medical services to deal with her condition as kidney failure effects other organs. Later she was returned to London for further treatment. Eventually she chose to be on the Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis. This is done usually at night for eight to 10 hours with a small machine called an automatic cycler which performed exchanges while she slept. By doing the dialysis at home it gave her more freedom and control when to do the dialysis and greatly improved her qual- ity of life. She also had to observe a strict diet. About 1 1/2 years ago Karen received a kidney transplant. It was a suc- cess and now she no longer has to diet but must take rejection medication. She is now a volunteer and strong supporter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada which is working to help people prevent kid- ney disease and to improve the organ dona- tion rate in Canada. June Essery thanked her. President Bev Delbridge called the business meet- ing to order. The secre- tary and treasurer reports were given. Discussion was held on the upcoming Daffodil and Founders Day events. A lovely lunch was served by the hostess and Essery. The chapter met at Upstairs Hansen's on March 21 with Elaine Bogart and Pat Paterson as hostesses. The meeting began with Bev Delbridge conducting the business. Members were reminded that Daffodil Day is March 31 with all proceeds going to Huron Perth Cancer Society, and we will be working out of Edward Jones Investments. The daffodils will be selling for $6 a bunch. An election of officers was held and they are: Pat Patterson - president; Ada Dinney - vice presi- dent; Lynda Deelstra - sec- retary; Marian Rider - treasurer. A silent auction with a large variety of items available to choose from was held and proved to be very successful. The meeting closed with a deli- cious refreshment served by the hostesses. Queensway residents dialogue with Paul Steckle, M.P. HENSALL — Fun and Fitness had everyone off to a good start Monday morning when residents met in the sunroom for their workout that stimu- lates body and mind. The range of motion exercises are geared to maintain or improve joint mobility and the games called "Mental Aerobics" help us all to work at developing a more agile brain. In the after- noon bingo was sponsored by the Hensall Legion who provided prizes and assis- tance for Residents. Lori Burt Registered Massage Therapist provided her service to several residents throughout the day. Rue Brenner of Faith Tabernacle in Centralia led worship Tuesday after- noon for residents. She shared her personal faith journey with residents and spent time following the service with those wishing to speak with her. Wednesday afternoon volunteer Marg Cole orga- nized a group of euchre enthusiasts for an enjoy- able afternoon of their favourite game. March birthdays were celebrated on Thursday following the Seniors Dining program. Marie Flynn and The Huron Strings provided the musi- cal entertainment that drew a good crowd to the dance floor throughout the evening. Birthday greet- ings to Virginia Klopp, Marjorie Carey, Maria Roobal, Beth Knox, Winnifred Homuth, Adelaide Young and Bill Osmond Sr. Greetings were given to birthday cel- ebrants that are now in the retirement residence "Over 90 Club". We are so thankful for the many family members and friends that joined resi- dents for the evening. Retirement residents welcomed a special visitor Friday afternoon when Paul Steckle M.P. spent time speaking with them in their lounge over coffee and refreshments. The visit was precipitated by a request made during the residents' monthly Operations Group meeting. An invitation was extend- ed to Mr. Steckle and he graciously accepted. Residents commented that his talk was inspiring and they appreciated his thoughtful, respectful answers to their questions. COMING EVENTS: Tues., April 4 9 a.m. Volunteer Auxiliary meet- ing.
