Parkview residents learn how to prevent scams LUCAN - Activities started early in November at Lucan Lion's Park- view Place. Due to the scams in various seniors homes, two constables from the O.P.P. were asked to speak to the tenants. The speakers gave many suggestions on how to step up security inside and out of the building and protect themselves regarding hank accounts and credit cards. The ten- ants also had a meeting with the Lucan Fire Chief John Riddel to discuss safety procedures in the apartments or anywhere in the building. Later in the month Bob Benner gave instnictions on the issue of power of attorney and wills. There were many questions from the tenants and a better understanding of the new law was reached. On November 14 Parkview residents had a nicc turnout for their month- ly social evening. The liderton Entertainers provided a musical evening, which was greatly appreciated. These seniors are gifted with musical tal- ents. The group had a lovely lunch with a birthday cake to celebrate six November birthdays. Residents extend their sympathies to the families of Ilabelle Harlton. She was formerly from Granton and had been at Parkview a short time be- fore passing away suddenly. A speedy recovery is wished to the sick in hospital, Lill Ashton and Reg Bloy.

Entertainment was provided by Richard Knechtal of Walker- ton, who delighted children with songs a* -•guitar, puppets and magic tricks. There were draws for door prizes, refreshments and balloons. This was also an occasion for Algarva #168 to present a cheque for $500 to Community Living. Sir Noble Philip Walker pre- sented the cheque to support worker Liz Herman, for their Sibling Workshop and to defray costs of their annual Christmas party and summer picnic. The adult workers of ARC bakery in Dashwood helped bake the treats, and the Challenging Learning Needs students at Ex- eter High School not only baked, but packaged 150 treat bags for the event.
