Nearly 100 friends and relatives paid a visit to their open house on Saturday afternoon where special entertainment was provided by Marie Flynn and orchestra. We were pleas- ed to have reporters from the area papers here as well as CFPL and CKNX television crews in to take pictures of the event. It was certainly exciting to see Dave and Eva, who reached a milestone that few do, on televi- sion news that evening. We have decided to try a new format for our weekly happenings insert into the local paper. We are hoping to include more of the actual activities happening at the Manor rather than including people visiting the residents. We started off the new week on Monday with Fun and Fitness. After reading and discussing some of the headlines in the daily paper, everyone seems to enjoy the exercise routine. In the afternoon we were pleased to have Carol Carter in to lead everyone in a sing song. Residents always appreciate her beautiful piano playing as well as the oppor- tunity she gives to sing some of their favorite selections. On Tuesday morning we welcomed Grade 6 students for our weekly bowling event. We certainly couldn't get along without their assistance. In the afternoon we worked on some trivia and word games. Wednesday morning, volunteer Mary Chapple was in to help put up a baby quilt. Some of our ladies quilt, so now they have lots of work to keep them busy. Our weekly church service on Wednesday afternoon was led by Rev. William Barber of First Presbyterian Church. Along with Rev. Barber was his wife Laura and Henrietta Brown who assisted at the piano. Residents gathered together on Thursday morning for Fun and Fitness, In the after- noon our indoor gardening project - the amaryllis bulbs, were tended to. It is amaz- ing to see how much they grow from week to wok Fvnr-vnna ie vary anxious to SPP the amaryllis in bloom.
