yed many activities throughout the week. The Activity Department offers a wide variety of activities each week to meet the residents’ interests, as well as the physical, mental and psychological well-being of each resident.
Games throughout the week provided fun and laughter. Bingo draws more residents than the other games, and we play Bingo twice a week. We receive periodical donations of money and candy for Bingo. We also hand out various prizes. However, we are currently very low on prizes for Bingo. Donations of small prizes, including small stuffed animals, by anyone would be greatly appreciated.
On Wednesday afternoon, eight residents played Bingo, and on Friday, 11 residents played Bingo. Bill Bartlett, Carol Higby and Richard Williams won Four Corners. Mae Harris, Sunny Behonek, Jeanette Baker, Richard Williams, Dora Martin and Kenny Hoagland won Blackouts. Lila Worden, Betty Dean, Joy Martin and Donna Erickson were our Bingo helpers.
