Calcutta Health Care Car Cruise


This past Thursday, September 17, the Activities Dept. of CHCC held their 2nd Annual Car Cruise. It's a party for that department to raise funds to finance activities for the patients and long term residents of that facility. That department arranges different types of entertainment for the residents. They are an enthusiastic group that try to make life a little more enjoyable. Just because you're going through rehabilitation therapies or are there needing help in some of life's needs doesn't mean you're cut off from some entertaining diversions once in awhile. Betsy and her staff at CHCC are dedicated to making that possible and sometimes bringing activities in requires a little more cash than what is in their budget.

This year the theme for the Cruise was the 50s. It compliments the older cars that you see at such events. The staff dressed up in styles of the 50s with jeans & rolled up sleeves on t-shirts. There were ladies with poodle skirts and bobby socks. A lot of the residents got a kick out of just reminiscing the day away.

There are a lot of Wellsville people that both work and live in that Calcutta facility. I tried to get pictures of all the ones I could and some of the more impressive cars. There were even ladies from MurLynz Catering cooking up and serving food & refreshments. That's a Wellsville catering outfit that specialize in receptions, showers, and other type of parties. There was even a dunking tank that a few of the nursing managers and office staff volunteered to be targets to get dunked.

It was a beautiful day filled with sunshine and it appeared a good time was had by all, even the ladies getting wet. If you need any catering services keep Wellsville in mind. You can contact MurLynz by calling 330-532-9036 or 330-532-2762 after 4 P.M. You can click on either picture to enlarge for a better view. You might recognize some of those folks.
