Bits and Bit by Helene Ballard Hi folks! Time is sure going by fast. There's no shopping time left and still so much left to do. We had a busy week here at Birchwood Terrace.

Our very ad Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Tuesday, December 24, 1985, page 7 able driver Joanne Jourdain was very kind to us as well as a good, careful driver.

On Tuesday evening a group of ladies from St. Martin's Catholic Church came to Birchwood to entertain us. They call themselves *'The Gem of the North Shore.' They put on a Christmas skit which was all about Santa' elves. These ladies who did such a good job were Mary Hale, Betty Hanley, Mary Roberts, Kathleen Mik- konen, Mary Dashkewytch, Maria Hermes, and their narrator Edna Ramsay. Their little play was all put to music by Betty Hanley who also has a beautiful voice. She made the French speaking residents very happy by singing *'O Holy Nite** in French. All in all it was a very nice way to spend an evening, so we all say thank you and God Bless. On Thursday afternoon the Catholic Women's League from Holy Angel's Church were hostesses for our monthly Birthday Par- ty, complete with a Penny Auction. The residents always look forward to this. Our thanks to these hard working ladies. Our bridge players would like to thank all the ladies who came over on Wednesday afternoons to enjoy playing bridge.
