Ron Smith gets nostalgic
The Ron Smith Care Centre gets nostalgic and everyone dresses up for their Vintage Day
Rand Aid’s Ron Smith Care Centre celebrated with nostalgia at their Vintage Day on 23 May.
Staff and residents were invited to sport some popular fashion from the past and spend some time at the Vintage Day Happy Hour at the centre’s Lakeside wing.
Spokesperson for the centre, Cathy Grosvenor said, “Earlier in the day, activity staff helped residents to make cheese straws, savoury biscuits and sweet corn fritters, which were all on the Happy Hour old-fashioned snack menu, whilst other staff decorated the venue with old record covers on the walls, old records and gold and black balloons.
“Fashion and music from the good old days were the order of the day, with partygoers dancing, moving and singing along to well-loved show tunes and golden oldies.”
The residents were also divided into four teams and participated in a quiz. They were shown pictures of various movie stars and celebrities from yesteryear and asked to identify the people.
Grosvenor said, “Many residents were seen leaving the party with smiles on their faces and hopefully, fondly-remembered songs or memories in their hearts.”
