Christmas gathering
Residents of Maplewood Manor enjoyed
another busy week as they prepared for
other Christmas activities. Everyone was
certainly in the Christmas spirit as they
took part in the Santa Claus parade on Fri-
day evening and entertained their guests at
the 's Christmas Gathering held Sunday
afternoon.
Euchre was the popular card game this
week. Tables were in action Mon. Tues., and
Wed. On Tues. there was a great deal of en-
thusiasm shown with four tables in play.
Wednesday morning, church service was
held in the upstairs lounge. Residents
welcomed Rev. Jones from the United
Church for his first ministerial service at
Maplewood. During the service, Rev. Jones
remembered Les Oliver with a prayer.
Winona McDougall provided piano accom-
paniment for favourite hymns after the
service.
Anne Downey and Marj Maloney were on
hand to give assistance to residents with
Lions TV bingo. Everyone hopes were high
but no winners were reported.
Friday afternoon residents were in the
dining room trying their luck at bingo with
Ruth Bock in charge., Winners were Elsie
Shaddick, Ethel Coleman, Anna Agar,
Willie Tremeer and Pete Tremeer.
Friday evening residents had the pleasure
of watching the spectacular Santa Claus
parade from the warm show room at Bill
McLaug)ilins. Everyone admired the dif-
ferent entries and bright lights and gave
particular attention to the float that
Maplewood had entered.
Agnes Hunter and Steve Lupul, residents
of Maplewood, were anxious to be even
more directly involved in the parade and
chose to ride on the Maplewood float. Their
willingness to participate was greatly ap-
preciated. Special thanks to Frank and
Leona Nigh, Steve Hook, Deb Dillon, Sandra
Poland and Tracy Nash for their great effort
