HENSALL — There were a few worrisome moments
about the weather when we set out for the St. Jacobs
Market on Thursday but after just a sprinkle of rain
when we arrived, the day was beautiful. Every resident
had a volunteer or family member with them as they
chose their lunch location from the many vendors avail-
able. Following lunch they could wander through the
indoor markets or spend time in the fresh air absorbing
the sights, sounds and scents of the numerous outdoor
vendors. It was an exhausted group that met back at the
bus for the return home.
Queensway Volunteer Auxiliary met Tuesday morning
and finalized plans for the St. Jacobs trip along with
organizing and offering their assistance for numerous
upcoming programs. In the afternoon Pastor Les Hills
led worship with Belva Fuss as volunteer organist.
Volunteer Kay Mock was in to assist with ushering and
hymns.
Wednesday morning residents benefited from their
thrice weekly exercise session outdoors on the deck, fol-
lowed by quizzes and games. In the afternoon Donna
Smale was in to assist with Euchre.
Lisa Stewart, Registered Music Therapist was in Friday

Aug. 3 at Pinery Provincial Park. It is

the area to search for the suspect.
They were unable to locate him. The
suspect is described as being a white

short dark hair and clean shaven.
He was last seen wearing a blue

to preside over the Chime Choir, our newest program. It
was nothing short of amazing to hear the residents
chiming recognizable tunes by the end of our 40 minutes
together. The Chime Choir will meet and practice the
first and third Fridays of each month at 10:30 a.m.
Sunday afternoon Sharon and residents hosted a tea
party. This once a month Sunday afternoon program is

welcome their family members and friends to join them.
