A picturesque scene surrounded happy folks at the monthly birthday party for the residents at Century Park on July 25.
The celebratory ladies and the achieved ages are Theresa Minish-95, Bertha MacBeth-101, Donna Oleksyn-83, Joan Dimmock-90, Hazel Holyk-96, Clara Flindt-94, and Eleanor Lutzak-85.
To add to the enjoyable time, Tony Mapa performed piano music and led the attendees in singing Happy Birthday.
To complement the event, there were elegant table settings and exquisite china tea cups, plates, and saucers. There were also petite sandwiches, delicate desserts, tea, and birthday cake, as well as fruit, punch, tea, and coffee.
Recreation Coordinator Milene Rozmahel shared that the garden tea party was done in honour of Bertha's 101st birthday, and of course, it was meant to recognize the other ladies too. “Every resident's birthday is very special.
The ladies enjoyed the party! They were happy, laughing, dancing, and chatting, which was very nice to see, just a great feeling for all of us.”
In an interview on Bertha’s 100th Birthday, she reflected that she on having lived this long. Bertha said, “I had a good life. I tried to be kind to others. The advice I would give others is to be yourself. Be patient, and treat people the way you would like to be treated.”
