Sttítótp fyíglüíQljis English Church Services Now Available Each Sunday Recently our new Chaplin, Reverend Joseph Posta offered to hold English Church Services each Sunday following the Hungarian Church Service. The service will begin at 11 a.m. in the Solarium and last for one half hour. The times have been scheduled this way due to the different lunch times. We'd like to "Thank" Reverend Posta for his thoughtfulness and support in an area where we find great need. English Church Service by Reverend Oesterlin will also be held on the first Monday of each month. Any resident having any questions concerning the services may contact the Activity Department or Reverend Posta. A Note Of Holiday Cheer The Activity Department wishes all the residents, staff and their families a very Merry Christmas and a blessful New Year. Sincerely, Ann Woodall and Sherry Hűmbertson Residents Involved With Pet Care During the summer months resident, Blanche Demangone, among several other residents went for a daily walk out by the Home's chapel. One day during Blanche's walk, she discovered several baby kittens hiding under the chapel. Well just one look at these cuties and the residents were in love. Several of the residents, including Blanche, have adopted the kittens and have been caring for them ever since. The residents seem to enjoy watching them grow and become more friendlier to the patients. Special "Thanks" to those residents that sneak milk to them along with the extra cat food. You folks are doing a super job of caring for them. King And Queen Of Hearts Contest Each year on Valentines Day the crowning of the King and Queen of Hearts is held at the Valentine Party.
