SPRING
1999Sandy Ridgway, Board of Managers
Esther Richman, a resident and art club member, has recently won a calendar art contest held by Neighborcare—our provider pharmacy. The contest was open to all facilities for which Neighborcare is a provider, and Esther’s painting depicting winter was chosen as the winner for the month of January. An afternoon tea was held in her honor, and an executive from Neighborcare presented her with a framed copy of her artwork. A photographer from the Sunbeam was there to capture the moment.
Congratulations, Esther!
In other news:
A Tiger Cub group from Mullica Hill visited Friends Home, bringing cookies and games to share with the residents. Everyone had a wonderful time socializing and playing checkers, Old Maid, and other card games.
There’s a certain anticipation in the air as the Annual Pancake Olympics approach. The event is held in the Nursing Unit as well as in Residential. On February 16 the athletes will compete in pancake relay races, pancake flipping contests, and other exciting events.
Hazel Houghton, a resident since November 1993, turned 104 on January 26. We wish a very special happy birthday to Hazel!
All welcome:
Judge John Jordan will speak at Friends Home on Friday, February 19, at 2:00 pm, in the Recreation Room. He will discuss the topic of power of attorney—how important is it, and what does it do for you?
The Friends Board Training and Support Project, as part of its Board Effectiveness Training Series, will present a seminar, “Fundraising and the Board,” at Friends Home on April 7 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. There is a $5.00 charge. For information, call (215) 241-7280.
Volunteers needed:
We are still in need of a few hostesses for coffee hour. Each volunteer does one coffee hour a month (9:45 to 11:00 am). This person brings some type of baked goods to share and helps to serve coffee and tea. I hostess one coffee hour a month, and I highly recommend it!
Another area looking for volunteers is the Adopt-a-Grandparent program. Each child is matched with an “adopted grandparent” and visits with that same person once each month. Visits are on the second Friday of every month at 7:00 pm.
If you are interested in either of these activities, call the Home at 769-1500 and ask to speak with Ann in Activities. You’ll be glad you did!
