Syl-View Happenings By Betty Scarborough There has been excitement in the air at Syl-View for weeks, as we celebrated the moments of our lives. “Hat Day” was a fun-filled day as residents, volunteers and staff wore hats for the party. Glen Walden and Vicki Bragg pro vided the entertainment with country music. The residents en joyed eating home-baked cake. There was chocolate, red velvet, coconut and pound cakes to se lect from. They drank coffee or milk with the cake, which was baked by Ada Teston of the nurs ing staff. We had a Martin Luther King celebration, and the community joined the residents for a pro gram which was planned and di rected by Jerry Hunter, Syl-View volunteer. There was special music and speeches for inspira tion. It is a dream of mine, which has come true, as residents and community gather together for special events being led by com munity volunteers. Following the service, those attending were treated to refreshments as they enjoyed fellowship. The Betty Carpenter Mission Group of the First Baptist Church of Sylvania met at Syl-View re cently. This group provides sup port for the activity program. Following Bingo recently, we celebrated the 89 th birthday of Anita Thompson. Ms. Thomp son has been active in the vol unteer program at Syl-View since the doors opened in 1969. Her grandmother was one of the first residents to call Syl-View home. Ms. Thompson has re ceived local and state honors for her volunteer service, and she was one of the "Bingo Angels” receiving national honors last year. Volunteers and staff ex pressed appreciation for her faithful volunteer service and friendship. Ms. Thompson re ceived a bouquet of flowers and gifts as the group enjoyed cake, party sandwiches, tart shells filled with chicken salad and lemonade. We celebrated Chinese New Year with hats, decorated fans and parasols. There was fun and laughter as fortune cookies were broken and fortunes read. Good luck was wished for all. We recently traveled to Atlanta as Amanda Long, State Teen Vol unteer of the Year, and Memo rial Mission Group, who are State Volunteer Group of the Year, were honored and recog nized as "Stars of Long Term Care.” We were thrilled to be a part, and grateful for our volun teers. I was grateful for the Activity Appreciation Party given by Toni Ellison to honor the Syl-View activity staff. It is a privilege to work in activities, and I am grate ful for 27 years of service at Syl- View. Come and visit us soon.
