Mrs. Annie Griffith, Mabel Montgomery, Charles Buck and Ed Pollard all celebrated their birthdays in June. In mid-June, The East Wawanosh Glee Club, consisting of 64 members, lined the walls of the Home and sang a variety of songs; for the residents, They are very good singers and everyone enjoyed listening to them. On the 20th of June, we held our annual Open House. Gordon Harrison, and his friend Francis entertained our residents and their visitors. With Gordon playing the piano and Francis on the guitar, they were an unbeatable combination and everyone en- joyed them thoroughly. The refreshments, supplied by the Brussels Majestic Institute, were delicious and were served by volunteers from the 1st Brussels, Brownies and Guides. Wendy Heibein, a Pathfinder, co-ordinated the student volunteers. Wasn't that a party! Our Staff and Family Talent Night was very successful, Brad.

These two ladies really make our piano "come alive" with their musical talents and are a welcome s light in the. Home.
