What a FANTASTIC Saturday afternoon we had here at Moana House. We were very privileged to have Glenn Carley who is a Country and Western singer come and sing to our residents. Glenn played a variety of easy listening songs and even sung songs that were requested by our lovely ladies and gentlemen.

Happy birthday to Lois who celebrated her birthday this week.

Congratulations to Richard who won the bowling game on Monday.

Today, Friday, was Germany Day with Oktoberfest Happy Hour in the afternoon. We are so fortunate to have a resident who is from Germany. Regina spoke about her life growing up in Germany and the things she enjoyed doing.

What a wonderful turn out for our Blue-Ribbon Buffet lunch which we held on Wednesday. Around 30 visitors came, and we all had a wonderful time. We were entertained by five of our residents from the Thursday life story group who did a skit taking off our General Manager, Clinical Manager, a nurse, a resident and the gardener. Thank you Beverley (GM), Faye (Clinical Manager), Graham (patient), Stan (RN) and Erik (gardener). We were entertained by Leo Sayer aka Vicki who got everyone taking part in exercises and jiving to “You make me feel like dancing”. I read a humorous poem written by Bruce Collis about that all important prostate check (I wish I had read it first as I got the giggles) – no disrespect to anyone who has/had prostate cancer. A HUGE thank you to our kitchen and activities staff. The kitchen put on a smorgasbord of food and concluded with a three-tiered platter of high tea deliciousness.

Happy birthday to Peter and Ian who celebrated their birthday recently.

Thank you to Colleen for coming in for line dancing and Robert and partner for singing to our residents.

Some residents have been giving the old concrete outdoor ornaments a redo.

Ahoy there; Arrr, it was dress and talk like a pirate day today me matey! Our buccaneer ”heap o’ bones” joined in with some downtime activities. Long John looked a tad hungry so Kelly and Kayleen from the ‘galley’ brought him some grub!

What a lovely compliment we received from Gaye Barton from the community which was in this week’s edition of the Whangamata Newspaper.
