Nineteen residents of Jackson-Feild Homes recently spent a day at Lake Gaston thanks to some very special friends.
Mrs. Carol Weigel
and Mrs. Jane Roundtree are neighbors and members of the Lake Gaston
Ladies Club. This club has been very supportive of Jackson-Feild and its
residents. They enlist other neighbors and friends to help sponsor this
outing.
The boys and girls
arrived at 9:00 and were greeted and welcomed by their hosts after
which they headed for the water to swim or hop in a paddle boat. Three
volunteers provided motorboats and the children were given a tour of the
lake. For most of the residents it was the first time they had ever
been on a boat. They returned to lunch which was a meal fit for a king.
Carol Weigel had prepared a detailed schedule of events to keep the
residents busy when they were not in the water. After lunch lawn games
were held with each winner receiving a prize and then it was back to the
water for more swimming.
At the end of the
day residents thanked everyone for their hospitality and kindness. This
marked the second year in a row that the children were able to spend the
day at Lake Gaston thanks to members of this club.
A good time was had by one and all and it is a day that will be long remembered by the residents.
