€% st. Andrew's ~ Centennial Manor Newsletter tells of local happenings | St. Andrew's Cen- tennial Manor is pleased to announce that Mrs. Linda McConnell is the new Activity Director for the First Level, as of the beginning of Sep- tember, 1981. Par- ticipation in various activities has "mushroomed" since Mrs. McConnell's arrival on the scene. It is Our pleasure to welcome Mrs. McConnell to the Staff of St. Andrew's Centennial Manor, Walter & Loreen Ens Most of September was a lime of "'getting to know each other", for Mrs. Linda McConnell and the Residents and Staff of St. Andrew's. One of the first ac- tivities planned was the making of placemats for our Dining Room. Severai Residents took a walk around the neighbourhood, __toge- ther with Mrs. McConnell, in order to find suitable leaves for the project. The leaves were then placed on coloured sheets. of paper, and covered with clear Mac-Tac. The résults were enough pretty placemats for our First Level Dining Room, where they are still in use. Several "Baking Sessions" have been held, with the ladies baking special treats for Our tea-time on Thur- ~sdays, after the Chapel Services. the Chapel Services are Our weekly Church Meetings, led by various ministers from Midland and the surrounding eOmmunities. The singing of "old favourite" hymns is always enjoyed by all those who attend. Sometimes, there are special musical num- bers presented by those in charge of the service. The ministers - always have Scripture Readings and Prayers, and usually, a_ short message. We appreciate the time and effort of those involved in this ministry, which enriches the lives of the people at St. Andrew's. Oct. 1 was the starting date of our Plant Club. We are grateful to the Horticultural Society for sending us Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Lind- say. These ladies meet with our Residents every second week. Let it be enough to say that our plants are now looking "alive and well"! On the evening of Oct. 13, the Pentecostal W.M.C. presented a lime of entertainment and joy! There was a rousing Sing-Song in the Chapel, the strains of which were also heard on the First and Second Levels. Tea was later served in the Activity Room along with lots of home- made "specialties". Many Residents par- ticipated and enjoyed this event. The Reading Club meets every Wednesday afternoon under the able leadership of Mrs. Esther Addison. On October 7 and 14, Mrs. Marchand led the Club, since Mrs. Addison was away on vacation. The "cosy" atmosphere of the T.V. Lounge on the First Level may have to be given up for a larger space if the "crowd" keeps 0n growing! The Salvation Army Ladies came for a Sing'Song, a chat, and afternoon tea, on Oct. 21. All who participated really had a good time that afternoon. Each~ month, the Legion Ladies pay us a visit. They come to have fun with the people here, to chat and have a "cup 0' tea"' or coffee. Our Birthday celebrations this month were for Mr. Gordon Herring, and Mrs. Irene Johnson, A group of ladies from the Knox Presbyterian W.A. came to present a short program, On Oct. 26. They also brought the birthday cake and gifts. A lovely time was had by all who participated. A successful Hallowe'en Party was held on Oct. 30 in con- junction with the Grade 3 & 4 class from Regent Public School. Mrs. Carol Finlayson brought her class over to St. Andrew's at 2 p.m. to show us the costumes the students were wearing for Hallowe'en. The class sang some songs for us, and with us. They encouraged our participation, and gol us involved with the actions for some of their music. Our Chapel Room was almost filled to overflowing with Residents and students. The Residents had prepared some little "treat" bags, and the Kitchen Staff prepared some juice for the members of the class. After that, Mrs.-° Ens took the students on a tour of the Manor. A few people even got to have a ride on the Whirlpool Chair Lift!! What fun!! The enthusiasm and warmth that the students displayed at being part of our Hallowe'en Party was something special for us to see! Mobiles of pumpkins, witches, bats, black cats and ghosts, which the class had made for us, were hung up in the Activity Room, and were admired and enjoyed by all who "entered there". Bingo is a Fun Night! Mrs. Barbara Fox is the Volunteer who organizes and leads this activity One evening each week. Interest in this weekly event is quite evident, and it's kind of special to win a prize once in a while! Oh-h! Those aching muscles!! It's about 11 a.m., and Mrs. McConnell and several ladies are exercising in the Activity Room. Mornings are also used for Reality Orientation. We are proud to an- "nounce that the month of October brought us a special event here at St. Andrew's - namely, the 57th Wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Durnford.
