Queensway welcomes new residents
It has been another busy week at
Queensway. The week started out on Mon-
day morning with an enjoyable workout at
Fun and Fitness. The feature of the after-
noon was Ladies Hour. Over a cup of tea the
ladies listened to some stories, had
manicures and a little extra pampering.
Tuesday afternoon Reverend Bender
from the Lakeview Conservative Church led
the worship service. The message he gave
was appreciated.
On Wednesday morning the Activity room
was the scene of lots of action as Fun and
Fitness took place. Residents have thought
many times how fortunate they are to have
air conditioning as it doesn't seem to affect
the activity involvement too much. Wednes-
day afternoon residents gave a "Welcoming
Tea" to officially welcome several new

On Thursday afternoon beautiful sounds
of music could be heard coming from the
Activity room as residents sang some of
their favorite selections. In the evening they
had their movie feature of the week, a
musical, "The Glenn Miller Story".
Residents enjoyed the life story and the
music of one of their favorite musicians.
Residents finished the week with Baking
Club on Friday afternoon. As they mixed up
the chocolate chip cookies it was good' to
reminisce about old favourite recipes.
Sampling the freshly baked product seemed
to be the task everyone enjoyed the most.
