Small bingo prizes needed

At Deseret Health and Rehab, residents enjoyed many activities throughout the week. The Activity Department offers a wide variety of activities each week to meet the residents’ interests, as well as the physical, mental and psychological well-being of each resident.

Games throughout the week provided fun and laughter. On Sunday afternoon, six residents played Dominoes with Rudy Stodola winning. On Tuesday morning, five residents played Yahtzee. On Tuesday afternoon, six residents played Dominoes again with Janet Kennaday winning. On Wednesday afternoon, 13 residents played Bingo, and on Friday afternoon, 15 residents played Bingo. Kenny Hoagland, Janet Kennaday, Charlotte Gibbons, Barbara Plummer, and Truth Karstoft won Four Corners. Nellie Wood, Charlotte Gibbons, Pat Rust, and Marjery McAulay won Blackouts. Our Bingo helpers were Lila Worden, Joni Johnson, Gloria Rakness, Dawna Erickson, and Sue Bartlett. On Saturday afternoon, residents played Blackjack.

During the evenings, residents watched Turner Classic Movies. On Saturday morning, residents watched the DVD movie, “The Man From Snowy River”.

On Sunday morning, six residents played Wii Bowling, and on Monday morning six residents did Wii Bowling again.

On Sunday afternoon, Pastor Gene Smith of the Platte Valley Christian Center led church.

On Wednesday morning, Merlynn Hoopes, Ann Smith, Joni Ehret, and Kathy McMorrow gave Hair Care to seven residents.

On Thursday afternoon, residents celebrated the birthdays of Randy Cross and Gloria Kendrick with cake and ice cream.

On Friday for Lunch Out at the Saratoga Senior Center, five residents had roast beef and birthday cake.

On Saturday afternoon, residents enjoyed ice cream sandwiches.

We are in need of small Bingo prizes, including stuffed animals.

We wish to thank Ann Smith for the kind financial donation to the Activity program.

The Activities program relies on the assistance of volunteers to enhance the lives of residents. If interested in being a volunteer, please call Tom Mansfield, Activity Director, at 326-8212.
