The Creston Rotary Club recently presented the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors (TAPS) with $1,034.17, the proceeds of last year’s successful Christmas card project, in which fabric artist and painter Eileen Gidman worked with seniors and Prince Charles Secondary School students.
TAPS co-ordinator Bridget Currie and community liaison development co-ordinator Maureen Cameron were guests at a recent Rotary lunch, and received the cheque from project organizer Brenda Silkie.
Currie also spoke about the “big picture” for TAPS, including the Better at Home program (helping seniors with non-medical day-to-day tasks so they can continue to live independently), and Cameron related that the Christmas Card project was a positive experience for the seniors and the two PCSS students from PCSS that participated in it. She mentioned that the funds from the project might be used to start an art program for seniors.
