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 QUEENSWAY NEWS. residents, Gerald Heffron formerly from Blyth, Winnifred Irving of Seaforth, Olive Heal of Hensall and James O'Sullivan from Seaforth. The most recent newcomer is Isobel Troyer of Hensall. 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. Queensway is presently looking into hosting a Foot Care Clinic for Seniors with services provided by the Huron County Health Unit. If you and anyone you know may be interested in receiving such a ser- vice here at Queensway, please contact us at 262-2830.
