Isington 2000 Bistro was the setting of a casual reception to say farewell to some dear friends who are moving away to a senior’s residence. A beautiful sweet table made for a festive atmosphere. Thank you to the organizers.

A small group of residents got together to make Christmas wreaths.  Last week they met to gather the required materials and plan. Yesterday they met in the art/activities room to work together. Along with lots of laughs they went home with beautiful wreaths ready for the holiday season. A big thank you to the volunteers who planned and organized this very successful event.

As the seasons change our grounds are still welcoming to those who step outside and make some time to interact with the natural surroundings. We encourage you to put on a jacket and take a stroll, or rest on one of the benches and observe our furry and feathered neighbours and the beauty of nature.

On Thursday evening, September 22, we initiated Trivia Night. This will run every other Thursday evening alternating with Bingo.

The attendance on the first night indicated that we have a winner activity here. Twenty-two residents of all ages showed up.  Even the baby had a good time as we wracked our brains to remember, deduce and wildly guess at the answers to 25 tricky questions. The two winning teams (1st and 2nd place) were presented with a box of prizes and each team member allowed to choose a prize from it.

It was a most enjoyable evening, apparently not just for those who left with a prize. Thank you to the organizers. Come out next time and join in!
