Oyen Lodge News: Preparation for Holidays

By Sarah Heath

Hello everyone! I hope everyone has had a good transition into November; it’s so strange not to have snow and cold weather yet. We are sure enjoying it and taking advantage of these warmer days with walks outside. I want to send a huge thank you to the legion members that came to the lodge last week to help perform a remembrance service for the residents. It was very much appreciated! Now, we are in preparation for the upcoming holidays, planning our resident Christmas party and planning out the decorations.

Thanks to our wonderful community, we are so busy with new puzzles; thank you so so much to everyone who donated puzzles. They will sure be put to good use. Our residents love puzzles. We have also been doing fun crafts lately, creating mittens on a canvas with buttons, and this week, we created a Christmas wreath from folding green paper in patterns! This month, we plan to get all our Christmas decorations up and do lots more festive activities. The residents are also enjoying a card game called Phase Ten. We have a group that plays this game every morning!

We hope everyone is having an amazing week!
