HEARTLAND CREDIT UNION WOODSLEE CREDIT UNION Uplifting one woman show by Lil' Audrey HENSALL — It was difficult to decide on a highlight of the week because there were so many special events happening this last week of August. Several residents enjoyed a trip to Stratford park for a picnic on the riverbank Wednesday. We had a beautiful day watching the swans and their downy cygnets and residents had a hard time obeying the posted signs, to not feed the swans. One resident was thrilled to meet up with a colleague from his days as a Justice of the Peace. Retirement Home residents had a great day Sun., Aug. 24 when Larry McQuarrie entertained at their barbecue. Residents were pleased to have such a good turnout of their family and friends. The Lakeview Mennonite Singers sang their Gospel music throughout the halls of Queensway Tuesday evening with several residents commenting on what a treat it is to hear acappela music with the four part harmony. "Lil' Audrey" entertained at the August Birthday Party Aug. 28 presenting a great one woman show, full of positive, uplifting energy as she sang all of the old favourites. Thank you to Lillian Beer and Edna Deitz for assisting at the program.
