Center turns green for
St. Patrick’s Day contest
By SUZANNE WILLIAMS
Brian Center Activity Director
March was a very busy
month for the Brian Center.
We had a “green” contest for
St. Patrick’s Day. Residents
and employees competed to see
who could wear the most
green. Winning residents were
Lorraine Twine, first place
and $5; Marjorie Chappell, sec
ond place, and Mildred
Walker, third place. Employee
winners were Ann Felton, first
place and a gift certificate to
Golden Corrall; Carita Hall,
second place; and Shirley
Smith, third place.
Also in March, the residents
have started a flower garden
that is now starting to peek
through the soil. Plans are
now for cherry tomatoes and
strawberries. Sounds good to
me!
On March 16 we had a very
special treat from Albemarle
Taekwondo. This group of
young men and women dazzled
us with extraordinary demon
strations of skill, strength and
showmanship. They broke
boards with their bare feet and
hands and displayed a great
deal of respect for their
instructor. The team had a
