Rand Aid’s Ron
Smith Care Centre (RSCC) residents gathered together on 6 May to celebrate
Mother’s Day.
A lovely tea
was enjoyed in the hall where a pink and white floral theme, with beautiful
roses from the care centre’s gardens, donned the tables, and golden oldies
music resulted in some spontaneous moving to music and lively hand-clapping and
dancing.
Residents also
enjoyed an array of sweet and savoury treats, sponsored by AVBOB. Sausage
rolls, mini chicken pies and quiches, chilli bites, koeksisters, milk tarts,
custard slices and lamingtons were on the menu, and residents loved the variety
of the delicious food – so much so, that some couldn’t resist trying a bit of
everything and were so full after morning tea that they didn’t have space for
lunch!
“The Mother’s
Day tea was the second RSCC event this year that residents and staff from all
six residential wings could come together to enjoy music, dancing, food, fun
and fellowship,” says Debbie Christen,
Rand Aid’s manager of recreational programmes.
“Our residents love
these social events and the opportunity to enjoy themselves in the company of
their friends and neighbours,” she adds.
