Doing Tea for Mother’s Day

Happy Mothers Day! Working up to this important day of celebration, The Mayflower Community (Grinnell IA) hosted the annual Mothers Day Tea in the Carman Center on Friday, May 10th for Health Center and Beebe Assisted Living residents and their guests. In total 70 women attended, including 34 residents.

Sue Drake entertained with piano music as guests arrived. Grinnellian Marlys Amundsen and friend Gloria Grant from Newton entertained with a delightful “Aprons” program, modeling and sharing stories about their unique aprons. Jo Entwisle provided beautiful music on her harp. Scott Gruhn, Mayflower’s Director of Food Services, set china cups from his personal collection for the occasion and served a delectable dessert. Residents took home a carnation of their choice.
