January News

January brings newness to the year, a fresh beginning full of anticipation. The job of an Activity Director must be a constant search for ideas to keep residents eager and anticipating what will be the next enjoyable part of their day.

At the Pender Care Centre residents will be doing Jazzy January chair dancing. Special musical performers will be Erv Schmidt, Genevieve Hermelbracht and Delores Bellar. Music keeps listening senses alive.

Informative sessions on the Moslem religion and the Emancipation Proclamation will be conducted. One afternoon we will have a demonstration of the computer and will do some hands on trying to use the mouse.

We will travel to Georgia and also to France and study the information we collect.

Residents will enjoy making and eating ice cream "snowballs" and "snowflake" brownies.

Games that will be played include Alphabet Soup, Monopoly, Bingo, and Hangman.

We'll enjoy craft sessions and writing Thank-you notes.

We are most grateful to all of the people who spent time and shared so many smiles with us during the month of December. We enjoyed visits from young and old that caroled, gave piano recitals, visited, shared gifts, and brought MOUNTAINS of joy to our facility. May this be the beginning of many more visits from you. Thank you and God bless you.
