OYEN LODGE REPORT: Garage Sale is the highlight of the week
By Dianne Spath
Hello Everyone. This has been a busy week. The weather has been fantastic if you like it warm. Monday morning was exercises. At morning coffee time, Connie Heath, with her clay cup business, was at the Lodge serving refreshments and fresh baking. Sara Heath and baby Nixon were also here for a visit. Sara loves being a mom. Monday afternoon was bingo.
Tuesday morning was the regular bus runs downtown, followed by One on Ones with the residents, which was some morning walking around the Lodge. Tuesday afternoon, our activity was baking, which we sold in our bake sale on the weekend at the garage sale.

Wednesday morning was exercises, then getting items ready for the garage sale. Wednesday afternoon was shuffleboard and more baking. Wednesday was National Seniors Day.
Thursday morning were card games in the morning, then more garage sale organizing. Thursday afternoon, the residents went to the South-Central High School to play games and enjoy ice cream treats with the summer camp kids in the schoolyard. Thanks to Dayna Wilson, who is the high school librarian and to Amanda Yake and her helpers for inviting the residents for the afternoon. Thursday evening was setting up garage sale items. Thanks to everyone who donated, it was greatly appreciated.
Friday and Saturday was the garage sale from 10-4, along with a bake sale and a hotdog lunch. Thank you to the kitchen staff for preparing the lunch and to Erin V and Gloria J for helping serve it. Also, a huge thank you to the residents who helped at the garage sale and kept things running smoothly for me, again greatly appreciated. And thanks to all who supported and purchased items. The proceeds will go towards new outdoor furniture in the courtyard. Friday evening there was music by the Jorgenson’s. Have a great week, everyone.
