Fun & laughter in the New Year

The facility’s Activity program is based on residents’ interest and allows residents to achieve a greater level of self-esteem. It provides for continuing contact with the community because of the many volunteers that assist residents in activities.

Games provided fun and laughter throughout the week. On Sunday afternoon, six residents played Dominoes with Pat Rust winning. On Monday afternoon three residents played Yahtzee with Pat Rust winning. On Tuesday morning four residents played Uno with Pat Rust winning. On Wednesday and Friday afternoons residents played Bingo. Barbara Plummer, Doc Alexander and Koreen Spoon won Four Corners. Truth Karstoff, Elaine Burge and Barbara Reed won Blackouts. Volunteers at Bingo were Lila Worden, Gloria Rakness, Dawna Erickson, Elder Maake, Elder Coleman and Elder Saunders. On Thursday morning, four residents played Dominoes again with Pat Rust winning. On Saturday afternoon residents played Blackjack.

For exercise, residents did Wii Bowling on Saturday and Sunday mornings and Sittercise on Monday and Friday mornings.

Residents enjoyed the Turner Classic Movies channel with movies in the evening. On Tuesday afternoon residents watched a VCR movie and had popcorn.

On Sunday afternoon Pastor Arlen Hughes led church.

On Wednesday morning three residents had their hair done, and nine residents had their fingernails done by Georgia Schroer and Janice Kerpan.

On Wednesday, during supper, Teense Willford sang and played country western music.

On Thursday afternoon residents helped Kathy McMorrow, the Activity Assistant, take down some Christmas decorations.

We greatly appreciate the continued support of our volunteers throughout the week. Anyone wanting to become a volunteer, please contact Tom Mansfield, Activity Director, at the facility
