Lots of love at Ron Smith Care Centre
JOBURG - A lovely Valentine’s Day tea took place on the lawns next to the duck pond at the Ron Smith Care Centre on 12 February.
Gazebos were gaily decorated with pink and red hearts while tables were adorned with pretty floral tablecloths. Every table was set with all the tea-time essentials and sugar fixes including scones, grated cheese, strawberry jam and, of course, freshly whipped cream.
The residents of the Rand Aid Association-run care centre enjoyed dressing their own scones, all adding different toppings to suit their own tastebuds.
On hand were plenty of staff members and volunteers, all decked out in red and white, to serve the tea and to assist where needed. The residents enjoyed the opportunity to chat and socialise while enjoying the beautiful, sunny morning outdoors with friends and neighbours.
Debbie Christen, the manager of recreational programmes at the centre said, “On Valentine’s Day itself, all 150 residents were presented with a box of chocolates, lovingly prepared and packaged by the staff. There was indeed lots of love going around on the Valentine’s weekend.”
