Oyen Lodge Report: November
“November is the final curtain call of fall.”
By Dianne Spath
Hello everyone. Well, the first half of November was nice, but I think the rest of the month will be in the single digits. I can’t believe November is going fast and December will be approaching soon. The Oyen Lodge would like to welcome Ken and Joan Mick. The Micks have moved from the condos to the Lodge side.

Monday morning, the Legion members were at the Lodge for a visit to talk about Remembrance Day. After that, there was a one-on-one Scrabble game. In the afternoon, there was bingo. Happy Birthday to Bev Haag on November 10th.
Tuesday, the Handi-Bus took some residents to the Oyen Legion for a Remembrance Day service. There were no activities that day because of the holiday.
Wednesday, there was Church led by Catherine, followed by a Phase Ten card game. In the afternoon, there were shuffleboard games. Some residents went to Acadia Valley for the Christmas Market.
On Thursday morning, there were exercises, and ATB Financial was at the Lodge from 10:00–11:00 for residents to do some banking. Also in the morning, there were horse races. Four out of the six horses had all won four races, so there was no winner that day. In the afternoon, there was card bingo.
On Friday, there were no activities, as Dianne was away for appointments. In the evening, there was music by Jorgensons. Decorating started in the Lodge, with a red-and-white theme this year.
Maximum Hearing will be at the Lodge on Friday, November 21st, from 10:00–5:00 in the family room. Have a great week, everyone.
