(photo/submitted) Christmas light tour Dec. 12 and 13 HENSALL — Queensway's Volunteer Auxiliary members gathered for their regular monthly meeting Tuesday morn- ing and an appreciation Christmas brunch. These women provide many volunteer hours of assistance with breakfast groups, church, euchre, visiting, parties, manicures, and much more to enhance residents' lives. They are an integral part of pro- grams offered at Queensway. Fun and Fitness started the week for residents Monday morning in the sunroom as they worked their way through the exercise program. In the after- noon several gathered for some pampering hand soaks, mas- sages and manicures. Tuesday afternoon with the scheduled speaker unable to attend due to the blustery weather residents brought favourite Scriptures to read and a devotional from our Daily Bread was presented at the church service. Volunteer pianist was Idella Gabel. Volunteer Donna Smale had a great turnout for the regular afternoon of euchre. It's wonder- ful when family members join in for euchre and various other games in the cheerful Unit Dining Room. Through the big windows there's also lots of action to observe with the birds and squir- rels competing for time at the feeders. Thankyou to Stephen Dennome for the donation of a big bag of cracked corn for our feeders. Coffee and current events was held Thursday morning followed by food committee when resi- dents offered their opinions and input regarding meals and snacks and preferences for refreshments at special events. They are looking forward to the seasonal treat of eggnog and special Christmas baking. Friday morning Lisa Stewart, Registered Music Therapist led her small groups and worked as well with several residents indi- vidually.
