APRIL 2024

Occasions

Movies with Ed

Some of the planet’s greatest achievements in filmmaking are coming to Northglenn. Every Friday evening at 6:15 p.m. and Monday (time to be determined), your fellow resident, Ed Todd, is screening a film from his top-drawer DVD collection. Films like “In the Heat of the Night,” “Once Upon a Time in the West,” and “Casablanca,” and “The Usual Suspects.”

Ed, the only resident without an accent, (as he might be inclined to remind his non-British family and friends), loves film, especially the kind that challenge the viewer to think.

Ed feels fortunate to be here after having a near-death experience with his health. He is recovering well and feeling more at home every day, even to the point of starting this film screening for what is now his family and friends.

He invites suggestions for the program he is curating. So be sure to add film night with Ed to your calendars. The screenings are in the 2nd floor lounge.

Update from Maranatha

Zambia. It sounds so distant. And it is. But it isn’t too far for Maranatha Volunteers International to make a resounding difference in the lives of school children in this South-Central African country. Crews recently finished transforming the Liumba Adventist School in the nation’s western province. The campus was old and dilapidated, but now boasts beautiful, strong buildings. Liumba’s first phase included the renovation of existing classrooms, and the construction of new classrooms, bathroom blocks, and a water well. “[The upgraded campus] got the attention of everyone in the entire region,” recalled Maranatha’s country director for Zambia, David Woods. For students who started coming from towns as far as 30 kilometers away, a new girls dorm was built within the safety of the secure campus. “[Students] are so excited about the new dorm, bunk beds, mattresses, sheets, blankets, and pillows,” said Woods. To learn more, this code, go to www .maranatha.org or visit the Maranatha channel.

Lautogh

Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman—already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet—who insisted he didn’t need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. “I don’t know,” he said. “She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.”
