Mt. Lindesay Branch Ride to St Paul de Chartres Aged Care facility
Jun 3 2011, 7:14 PM EDT
The Ulysses Club, Mt Lindesay's Branch's 5th Annual Visit to St Paul de Chartres. St Paul de Chartres is an aged care facility and Retirement Village at which we make an annual visits for the old folks to enjoy rides on our bikes & trikes. We also host a BBQ lunch for them on the day & donate several thousand $$$'s each year to aid in their Diversional Therapy. Our visits have had a profound effect on so many of the residents over the years, bringing back fond memories for the them. It has always been a joy for our members to see and hear stories from them. Especially meaningful to us, are those tales of their times as children when their fathers returned from the wars, so often remembering their days when motorcycling was the only form of transport affordable to them. We remember the first visit made, when the residents were a little hesitant to go for a ride, one dear old lady opted to be the first to mount up on a bike. After she returned from her ride, with the biggest smile on her face, she proudly proclaimed that as of now everyone could call her "A Pillion *****." Needless to say, even our members were a little surprised at her statement. However it wasn't long before there was a line up of residents and staff for rides. And so the story of our annual visits continue to this day. If your club, branch or group hasn't ever been on one of these excursions, do yourselves a huge favour and consider organizing a run to one of your local facilities, we can assure you, you won't regret it. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.
