Page 2, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, July 10, 1985 Bits and Bites by Helene Ballard Hello everyone! Let's see what we come up with this week. It has been another week of things to do which were of interest to the Residents here at Birchwood. Last Friday, June 28th, we had a very nice Ecumenical Service. Participating in this Service were Rev. Bill Legrand, Rev. Keith Milne, Rev. Mather Ber- nard Campbell and Rev. Father Peter Grould. The program was very well ar- ranged - with Readings from the Holy Bible and the Homily given by Fr. Grould. Several Hymns were sung by all present after which all members of the clergy giving us their blessing. It was truly a moving and beautiful hour. After the service The Ladies of the Auxiliary of Birchwood served a very dainty tea which was en- joyed by everyone. We were happy to welcome our friends from Town and also our friends from Schreiber. Ladies our Thanks to you again. On Sunday afternoon the residents enjoyed a Horseshoe Tournament. Those of us who did not play sat on the Patio and watched the game - all in _,all it'was a most enjoyable 'day and our Thanks To All who took part. Could I please ask you nice people to keep those egg cartons coming? We are in need of more as the craft room has been very WINNER Terrace Bay Rod & Gun Club ~* Membership draw for 2 H.P. outboard Forrest Notwell help your Heart Fund busy making flowers and 'these cartons are sadly needed, so please drop them off here at The Home and '*'Thanks". In my dai- ly walks outside, I was happy to see some bicycles parked out of the way against the rec centre, however sad to say there are still some who drop their bikes on the sidewalk right in front of, the doors. Please kids take time to think and remember not to do this, its a bad habit that could result in serious in- jury to someone if they fell over these bikes. For the first time in several weeks I have a bite, and sorry to say, one that really made me very angry - one evening last week a young man drove his pick- up truck through the driveway here at Bir- chwood and believe me he was doing a lot more than 20 m.p.h. If he had come ¥ 5 minutes sooner he would have knocked down one of our elderly gentlemen who had just crossed from the steps to the lawn chairs. I was only sorry that he was driving too fast for me to get his license no. but believe me next time I won't miss and the Police ~ will be notified. So think it over. And now to end Senior Citizen Month remember we have a lot going for us, the trouble is, most of it is already gone. Cheerio.
