Delmanor Prince Edward's Resident Holiday Party!

During the hustle bustle of the holiday season, Delmanor Prince Edward residents, families and team members came together for their 2nd Annual Christmas Celebration!

The Delmanor Prince Edward team created a warm and inviting atmosphere that welcomed the spirit and happiness of the Christmas season.  There were beautiful fruit carvings, delicious hors d'oeuvres, festive food displays with irresistible buffet stations.  It was most definitely an evening of some of the finest cuisine guests had ever experienced!  The Award Winning Culinary Team at Delmanor Prince Edward impressed everyone that attended the Holiday Party with their mouthwatering creations!

As guests entered Prince Edward's Dining Room, they were greeted with the soothing sounds of the Grand Piano.  After dinner the party moved to the Old Mill Pub where a 3 piece jazz band welcomed them with an accompanying glass of wine.  The festive music continued on throughout the party, and as the tempo of the songs increased, so did the number of people on the dance floor!

The Delmanor Prince Edward 2nd Annual Christmas Celebration was a wonderful success!  Residents and family members alike were very grateful for the opportunity to spend time with loved ones to create timeless Christmas memories that will be treasured always.

Delmanor Wynford's Support of Wellspring Centre

Anne Armstrong Gibson founded Wellspring in 1992.  After being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1988, she met many fears; but what she feared most was the  isolation that came during her treatment period.  This loneliness led her to attempt to fill this void for others who may be in a similar situation that she experienced. 

Anne worked with oncology experts, families and friends of those living with cancer to create Wellspring.  Wellspring is a  not for profit organization that provides psychological, emotional, social, spiritual, and informational support to individuals and their families that are living with cancer.  Her idea was extremely well received as the need for this type of service was clearly evident by the  number of enrollments she received almost immediately.  Wellspring has since grown to 10 locations across Canada! Since Anne's passing in 1995, each Wellspring location keeps her vision alive by providing an innovative and creative approach to the overall care of a person living with cancer.

The Delmanor Wynford 'Knit Wits' Knitting Club were inspired this year to knit something in support of those that are living with cancer.  After seeing a fellow resident bravely battle her illness, the Knitters wanted to create a project to help support those that are fighting the disease.  After speaking with representatives from Wellspring, the 'Knit Wits' learned that Wellspring requires that all people who enter the building during the winter months wear slippers in order to keep the floors safe and clean for everyone.  The 'Knit Wits' were thrilled with the opportunity to knit slippers and donate them to the Centre for the winter season.

In less than one month, the 'Knit Wits' had knit 22 pairs of slippers, and the knitting continues!  The Delmanor Wynford residents visited Wellspring Centre themselves to deliver the slippers that they had created.  A Wellspring coordinator gratefully accepted the wonderful and thoughtful donations for the house and gave the Wynford group a tour of the building.  All of the Wellspring staff and volunteers were overjoyed with the beautiful slippers and the skill and time that the residents donated to them!  Wellspring is such a wonderful haven for those battling cancer in order to feel safe and less isolated.  Way to go Delmanor Wynford 'Knit Wits"!  You have amazed us all yet again!

Painting with Friends at Delmanor Wynford

'Paint Nights' are trending in the local community.  The events are wonderful opportunities for people of all ages to experience painting and make new friends.  One of the reasons why paint nights are so popular is that they do not require artistic skills in order to participate.  All that is needed is a positive attitude and a desire to try something new.  For those with previous artistic skills, the events allow further growth in their art, along with sharing tips and techniques with others.

Delmanor Wynford has many resident artists of all levels that always enjoy the opportunity to get together for an evening of fun with friends.  Each of the participants were provided with a blank canvas and five colours to create with; red, blue, yellow, black and white.  The artists were then shown the image that they were to recreate.  The residents used their imaginations, along with their paint palettes to create their own versions of the subject provided.  All of the creations were fantastic!  Residents were very pleased with their works and the memorable evening spent with friends.  We are likely going to see more Delmanor Wynford 'Paint Nights' in the months to come!

Delmanor Prince Edward's Gingerbread House Contest!

Wonderful holiday events were taking place all over Delmanor Prince Edward this year!  One of the highlights of the season was when residents and team members came together in the LivingWell Center to create the most lavish, spectacular, and most delicious gingerbread houses! The friendly competition sparked excitement in all of the participants, as each team tried to win the title of Delmanor Prince Edward's BEST Gingerbread House of the season!
 

  
After an hour of creativity, plenty of icing, and a countless number of candies, the LivingWell Centre and the Delmanor Prince Edward decorators were submersed in the colours and spirit of Christmas!  As the contest came to a close, the judges made their final decision........it was concluded that both of the Gingerbread House creations were equally beautiful in their own unique way!  It was a two-way tie!

This event was so much more than a contest to make the best gingerbread house, it was a fun & festive way to create wonderful holiday memories that will be cherished always!
