A Mother’s Love

No gift on earth is greater, no treasure held above.

The joy that comes from knowing, a Mother’s endless love.

In spite of how it’s tested, it grows from year to year,

providing strength and comfort… it “gently” draws us near.

It warms and it protects us,

and guides us from afar. Shedding light upon us,

like a bright and shining star.

And when all things are measured, not one shall rise above, or be compared in value,

to a Mother’s endless love!

Volunteer Corner…. By Bernice Middlestead

Greetings to all volunteers.

Again a very big thank you for all you do, all year long. April is the month that we recognize and express our thanks at special appreciation events, but each and every day that you are here, you are appreciated. There was a high attendance at the Pastoral Luncheon and the Appreciation Banquet and I hope that everyone had a good time. This year we gave out new “Park Manor Care” pins to all volunteers who have contributed more than 100 hours. We were surprised and delighted that 72 volunteers had surpassed that number. Names of the people that are in this exclusive club are listed in the next column. Also on the next page is a list of all people that were recognized with awards or words of thanks.

Hello, Hello, Hello …

From the Adult Day Program

We hope everyone is getting a chance to go outside to enjoy the nice weather. We were busy last month exercising our brains. We learned some things about money and where some old sayings come from. Did you know that the expression “to throw in the towel” comes from boxing matches? The manager would throw in a towel or sponge to stop a fight. We also played some cards, dominoes and “Wheel of Fortune”. We tried a new game called “Noodle Hockey” using pool noodles as hockey sticks. There was a lot of action and everyone had a great time. Ring toss was also a big hit. Tuesday’s group went out to Smitty’s for lunch while Thursday’s group went to Perkins. It’s always nice to go out for good food and great company. Here’s hoping the weather cooperates so we can all get out in our gardens! From the ADP Staff
