Mennonite Memorial Home held its annual ice cream social for family, friends and resident last week where everyone was transported away to a distant island.
The theme was Hawaiian and the music and decorations helped turn the chapel into a fresh, brightly-colored island experience.
Participants were carried away to a warmer climate where they enjoyed several flavors of ice cream and toppings. Over 70 people attended.
The residents and staff at the Mennonite Memorial Home paid tribute this last week to the ever-stylish tradition of wearing hats. A nod was given towards the Royal Wedding and also to the upcoming Kentucky Derby, two events where hats are a must.
Many of the residents enjoyed picking out and modeling different types of hat, bonnets, caps and fedora's for each other. A short program was given talking about the traditions of hats. Staff also got into the spirit and sported hats throughout the day.

The Mennonite Memorial Home is needing a volunteer to fill birdfeeders. Residents have a variety of feeders placed around the building and the birds' appetite require a weekly filling.
This volunteer opportunity is once-a-week and takes only 1/2 to 1 hour. The volunteering will begin immediately and the volunteer will be trained. If you would like to fill the MMH bird feeders, please call Mary Ann Ring at 419-358-1015.
Did you miss the pre-prom entrances at The Centre? Or, were you there and would like to see it again. The Icon has three You Tube videos totaling over 25 minutes of "prom entrance" videos.
