March 2016 Greetings from Crestview Lodge

Greetings from Crestview Lodge

February was an easy going month, it was comforting to have a gentle pace of activities to gear us up to busier times ahead. Hockey Jersey Day was fun and we hope our votes counted. We sure had a vibrant assortment of team jerseys that were being worn in hopeful anticipation of Pincher Creek winning Kraft Hockeyville Canada for our community. Lots of great pictures were taken and Crestview was a buzz with giggles and smiles.

We tried something new with our Men’s Club, during a coffee outing we came up with having a poker night. We had two wonderful guys.  Juan Teran and Ryan Falardeau came from Aztec Cabinets to help teach the men how to play. A big thank you to these two gentlemen, our resident Men’s Club really enjoyed the evening. We are hoping to get some games started on a regular basis; we don’t play for money just for fun. If you are interested in joining in the fun please give Charmaine a call at Crestview Lodge. We could use more help and more players to heighten the fun.

Our in-house Valentine’s Tea and Party was so fun, thanks to our Volunteers that helped out so much! We could not have done it without our volunteers, Carol Ann Turnbull, Jackie Wiens, and Sylvia Barbero. A huge thanks from all of us. The left right game we played left us in stitches and then we enjoyed hunting around the Lodge for kisses. They did not expect they were looking for Hersey’s kisses, Ha Ha. Gerda Nielsen won the afghan that Connie Robinson made and donated. It was a super day!

Our Pub Night was fantastic! I think we had a record breaking amount of dancers on the floor this round. Checkmate always plays great songs that get our toes tapping. Of course we took lots of pictures to prove that we got up and danced our hearts out; what a fun evening it was. Thanks to all our residents that got up and danced the evening away.

Wishing everyone fun on St. Patrick’s Day and a Happy, Blessed Easter,
