Nursing Home news PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 12, 1987 -- 17 Sing-song held at birthday party by Wendy Clark Our monthly birthday party was hosted on Monday, April 27 by the Port Perry U.C.W. We all joined in on a sing-song and some readings were read. Other activities were a quiz and a Bingo game. After all of the excitement we had delicious cake and ice cream and our special birthday people received their gift. An enjoyable time was had by all. Tuesday afternoon was bowling. Top scorer was Lionel Blaikie with 105 pts. Congratulations!! Church service in the evening was by the Greenbank United Church. The 29th was manicures. The ladies really enjoyed having the op- portunity to have their naiis done. In the latter part of the afternoon the residents were taken on a tour of the kitchen. They were very impressed with all of the modern equipment that is used. Lots of interesting ques- tions were asked. Thursday was a craft day. At 5:30 the Supper Club got together for a delicious meal of fish & chips from the Galley. Friday, May 1 was Binge. We had a really good time and there were several lucky winners.
