These projects help meet the needs of over 500 clients ranging from respite care, day hospital and various long-term care accommodations. Did you know that Maimonides supervises Accredited Homes in the community, as well as Intermediate Resources Maison Paternelle and Lev Tov. Auxiliary co-presidents (l-r): Terri Klein, Hinda Adelstein and Joan Ungar t has been a great year! We are thrilled to have Terri Klein working at our side. Terri brings with her a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and experience. She is a member of our young Satellite Group, as well as our former Meals on Wheels Coordinator, (1982- 2002!) In fact Terri was hired by our late Past President Naomi Deckelbaum, (19821984), who just happens to be Hinda's mother! Coincidentally, Terri's own mother Rose Adelman held the Presidential office immediately following Naomi, (1984-1986). This shows us the depth of dedication of the generations to our Auxiliary. Now Hinda and Terri are happily working side by side with Joan! We are happy to report that we have as well installed several new Board Members, some of whom are second generation!! Our Auxiliary membership is getting younger, and we are looking forward to several new and exciting projects! We are very proud to announce that our own Hinda Adelstein has been elected to the Board of AJHSA, the Association of Jewish Homes and Services for the Aging. This association is an affiliate of the Association of Jewish Aging Services of North America. This past year of fundraising has been very exciting and quite successful. Our projects included our fabulous Bridge Luncheon, the opening night of the hit play, Tuesdays With Morrie, our ever popular Raffle featuring amazing prizes, and of course our beautifully, well stocked Gift Shop. These events, 2 I We also fund our Meals on Wheels Program, companions for our clients, a shuttle bus to Cavendish Mall and special outings, as well as our famous Coffee Shop which services clients, visitors, and staff. We are also presently on a Membership Campaign, so if you know of anyone who would like to become an Auxiliary Member, or if you have been contemplating becoming a Lifetime Member, now is the time to register.

Along with the great weather, residents at Maimonides Geriatric Centre enjoyed many exciting events organised through the Therapeutic Recreation Services department. Summer started early this year with our "Adult Education" graduation ceremony held in May. This ceremony marked the culmination of an exciting education program geared for Maimonides residents. June ended with our annual Canada Day celebration. Our Auxiliary ladies took great pride joining in with the red and white team assisting residents to the program and welcomed the residents by handing out flags and pins. Many thanks to those Auxiliary members who helped out that day. The Centre provided a festive environment for the sights and sounds of Tony Barbucci and his group of wonderful musicians and the always entertaining Rod & Mary who were here to provide a great afternoon of music. The residents' bonfire ushered in July. Residents toasted marshmallows and sang along with Doug Rodriguez at this fun annual event. A great time was had by all! July also started off with our very own Maimonides March to Jerusalem. Residents "marched" with great pride to different stations in the hospital and enjoyed the "frailach" entertainment of Mindy Neustadt. The Centre generously supported this year's event, with each resident being sponsored for his or her efforts. Special thanks to the March to Jerusalem committee from Federation CJA who provided the t-shirts and medals for our "March". Following on the heels of the March was the Centre wide BBQ. Always a highlight of the summer, residents, staff, MISSIVE students, volunteers and family members all joined in the fun. At our Summer Carnival in mid July, residents tried their skills at the fishing booth, tossing bean bags other fun games. In August, our incredible summer of fun was marked by our very own unique staff fashion show. Residents, families, staff and friends were dazzled by this annual summer event. Organised by representatives of our own Centre staff, professionals from all departments donned their own formal wear as they danced down the runway. The event was a terrific success. Many thanks go out to the group of dedicated Auxiliary volunteers who manned Boutique Evie during those hot steamy summer months and kept the service open and available to our residents. Evening and weekend concerts have been a great success and resident Garden Parties during the week have been most enjoyable. All summer long, residents have been participating in various outings to "hot spots" in the community and loving every minute of it! Many thanks to those Auxiliary members who volunteered on some of the outings, and to all the Meals on Wheels volunteers who worked closely with our Summer Activities Coordinator to ensure that all the lunches for residents going on those great outings were packed and ready to go! To cap off the very busy summer, residents, families, staff and friends were treated to a very special afternoon of entertainment provided by our very own MISSIVE student volunteers. As a thank you to the residents, the students organised and performed their own talent show, complete with music, comedy, and dance with "Fiddler on the Roof" as the theme, it was a most memorable afternoon. Should you wish to volunteer in any of these, or other projects please contact the Volunteer Services Department at 483-2121 Local 2223.

Within 2 to 3 weeks after their admission, the Chaplain and the interdisciplinary team welcome the resident and his/her family with a traditional ceremony of psalms, a prayer for health and a blessing over the wine and refreshments. This welcome to Maimonides is a way for all members of the interdisciplinary team (admissions' officer, nursing, social services, rehabilitation services, therapeutic recreation, chaplaincy, volunteer services and Auxiliary) to work in a unified format and in the best interest of the resident and family members. Auxiliary co-presidents Hinda Adelstein and Joan Ungar accept the Annette W. & Herbert Lichterman Outstanding programming award along with Director of Volunteer Services Rena Halickman. They are seen with representatives from Associates of Jewish Homes and Services for the Aging who gave out the award. inda Adelstein, Joan Ungar and Rena Halickman were all on hand in Boston on Sunday, April 10, 2005 as Maimonides Geriatric Centre was awarded the 2005 Annette W. & Herbert H. Lichterman Outstanding Programming Award for the "The Welcome Team: ….. an interdisciplinary partnership. This award, given out by the Associates of Jewish Homes and Services for the Aging (AJHSA) recognizes programs that enhance the quality of life for residents. To minimize the trauma of the relocation to Maimonides and to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, the resident and family members are met at the door by a member of the Welcome team, a trained paraprofessional volunteer who greets them and guides them through the admission process. This experienced volunteer stays H with the resident until they are comfortably situated with their belongings in their new room and the nurse comes to meet and settle the new resident. After this, the volunteer works with the family members to give them emotional support and orient them to Maimonides.

Our very large group divided into three, each with their own docent to guide them through this awesome, impressive display. We were all very moved and will return. We then continued to the Bonaparte Restaurant on St. François Xavier in Old Montreal and were well attended to by Mr Michael Banks, Mr. Patrice and all their handsome servers. The décor was charming, the food was delicious and the presentation was fabulous. An extra delight was a personal little box of chocolates for each lady. With full tummies and a great push, we arrived at our third and final stop of the day, the Avi Morrow Museum on historic Sainte Helene Street in old Montreal. The stone walled setting and marvelous artwork (so many interpretations of one theme), were a joy to behold and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The drawing of three coffee table books of the Morrow collection certainly added to everyone's excitement and particularly to the winners' happiness. 4:00 p.m. saw us back on our bus, headed for home, a lot more weary, but definitely willing to laugh, talk and munch on the scrumptious cranberry nut cookies from our very own Coffee Shop. The ending to a wonderful day enjoyed by all. My sincere thanks to Paula and Phyllis in the Auxiliary office for their help and to the staff of the Coffee Shop and Maimonides Nutrition and Food Services Department, whose cooperation made our mini breakfast a success. Anne Nathanson Program Chairman This is What Love is All About Jacob, age 92, and Rebecca, age 89, living in Florida, are all excited about their decision to get married. They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding, and on the way they pass a drugstore. Jacob suggests they go in. Jacob addresses the man behind the counter: "Are you the owner?" The pharmacist answers, "Yes." Jacob: We're about to get married. Do you sell heart medication?" Pharmacist: "Of course we do." Jacob: "Medicine for rheumatism and scoliosis?" P h a r m a c i s t : "Definitely." Jacob: "Medicine for memory problems, arthritis, jaundice?" Pharmacist: "Yes, a large variety. The works." Jacob: "What about vitamins, sleeping pills, Geritol, antidotes for Parkinson's disease?" P h a r m a c i s t : "Absolutely." Jacob: "You sell wheelchairs and walkers?" Pharmacist: "All speeds and sizes." Jacob: "We'd like to use this store as our Bridal Registry.” 8 MAIMONIDES GERIATRIC CENTRE AUXILIARY Board of Directors Meeting Held in Florida n February 24, 2005, Auxiliary Board Members attended a luncheon meeting in Boca Raton.

I have met many new people, staff, volunteers, and most importantly the recipients, whom I have come to admire and respect. They have all made my job easier. This job is all about them. They, the volunteers deliver and pack approximately two hundred meals a week (10,000 meals a year) to our recipients in Cote St Luc, Snowdon and Cote des Neiges. Like the days of the pony express, they tirelessly go out in heat, rain and snowstorms without a complaint. I feel privileged to have met and to work with these remarkable people. We at Meals on Wheels always need new volunteers, with the High Holidays quickly approaching, and the winter season not too far behind, we can use your help. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and healthy New Year.

A Tribute to the late Ray Goldin R ay Goldin began volunteering for the Maimonides Geriatric Centre Auxiliary with one of her closest friends, the late Mollie Schwartz, as Co-Chairman of Membership when the centre was first built on Caldwell Avenue in 1964. As Membership Chairman, Ray persuaded CJA to permit her and her committee of dedicated volunteers to use the phone bank after CJA had completed their campaign. This enabled our team to successfully accomplish their goal of enrolling many new members each year. Ray was a "Friendly Visitor" for a Maimonides resident who had no family. The nursing staff observed how much one of the residents looked forward to Ray's visits and the thoughtful little gifts she would bring. Ray was also very active in B'nai Brith; President of her chapter, Vice-President of Camp B'nai Brith, and was involved at the inception of the "Passover Baskets". As Ray was such an exemplary role model, her daughter Mimi has continued the tradition. 10 MAIMONIDES GERIATRIC CENTRE AUXILIARY Tribute Fund • March 15, 2005 - July 15, 2005 Bayla & Mel Kligman When words are not enough to express your feelings, we invite you to share them through a Tribute Gift.
