What a week we have had here at Moana House.
A HUGE thank you to Geoff, Lynn, Pam and Des from the RSA, members from the Whangamata Garden Club and volunteers who came and assisted the residents to make wreaths for ANZAC day at the RSA. There was a lot of natter going on and quite a bit of mess but nothing that a vacuum couldn’t cope with. The residents thoroughly enjoyed it.

There has been golf and the baking of ANZAC biscuits. We had a lovely visit from Billie who is Mark’s little 10 week old new puppy. She brought a lot of joy to us all. Hopefully Mark will bring her back in for lots of visits.

Don't forget to book in for our Pink Ribbon event. Wednesday 20th May.

Happy birthday to Susan who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday.

Our knitting group has a lot of fun and there is certainly a lot of natter going on. We are now having a few visitors/acquaintances coming in with their knitting to join our residents for an hour or two on a Tuesday at 1:00 pm. In our rest home. All welcome.

Date scones were made for afternoon tea. They came out lovely.
