For the second year in succession, The Meadows Nursing Center Auxiliary sparked off the
Christmas season at the center in Dallas by hosting a festive tree-trimming party for the
residents. This party also marked an anniversary because it marks one year of special projects
planned by the auxililary since its inception in 1984. Members of the auxiliary provided home-
baked cookies for the event and assisted the residents in decorating the Christmas trees.
Entertainment for the party was furnished by the New Community Singers under the direction of
Shirley Mahle. The group presented a lovely progrfam of carols and holiday music and led the
residents and auxiliary in singing their favorite carols. The Meadows Nursing Center Auxiliary is
now conducting their second membership drive and invite all local residents to be part of this
worthwhile endeavour as active or sustainer members. For information on our auxiliary and the
volunteer opportunities: available please call Marilyn Gregorski at 675-8600 or president of the
auxiliary Dianne Corby at 675-4893. Pictured at the tree trimming party are from left, standing,
are Irene Tribender, auxilian; Rachel Hale, auxilian; Hilda Laning, resident, Meadows Nursing
Center; Marian Hungerford, resident, Meadows Nursing Center; Irene Transue, Auxilian.
