P.O. Box 8-0657 HOLIDAY ISSUE • DECEMBER 1998 ptígíjltgíjis "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" Several months ago the Activity Department took on a project that was suggested by resident Mary Grace Smith. She suggested we hold a prom. So, with that in mind, the Activity Staff went to work. October 22nd was the night of the "Harvest Ball". Our lady residents were dressed in evening gowns donated by staff and families. The men looked very handsome in suits and dress jackets. Father David Griffin, who is head of Campus Ministry at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, PA, provided us escorts for the ladies that evening. As the students arrived that evening, they were assigned a date with one of our lady residents and would present her with a wrist corsage and be her escort for the evening. As the students returned with their assigned resident to the Dining Room, they had their photo taken underneath our lattice archway. The Dining Room was decorated beautifully in a fall theme. An evening of fellowship, dinner and dance was enResident Betty Queer with her handsome escort under the archway Resident couple Andy and Evie Aitkens were dancing up a storm joyed by all.
