WHAREKAKA NEWS:

The new year has been off to a busy start with the Auxiliary holding a picnic for the residents. Although the weather was not as planned this did not dampen sprites.

We have also spent a lovely day out at the pinnacles and  ice creams in the park at Greytown.

Once school starts up again, we look forward to out regular visits from various school and preschool groups.

The Wharekaka Auxiliary hosted a very enjoyable new year luncheon for residents on 15^th January.  Unfortunately, the weather gods didn’t play their part and the picnic was held in the day room.  Although the venue was moved all residents enjoyed the picnic atmosphere and lovely food supplied.

We have been very fortunate to receive surplus food from Kitchener’s and Neighbourhood café recently.  This makes a lovely change for the residents’ afternoon teas.  A big thankyou to you all.

We sadly farewelled Dorothy Ansell and Gene Brown in December.  Both residents will be sadly missed by the Wharekaka family.

We welcome Gerard Lowe from the Villas as a permanent resident in the home and Judy Palmer and Peg Plowman moved from Masterton facilities to join our Wharekaka family as permanent residents.

We have a Facebook page which depicts activities and things happening at Wharekaka.  Find us and follow us!
