Bowling Club Annual Charity Day<br />
The bowling club in Houston - John G. Fleming - is once again holding it’s Annual<br />
Charity day on Sunday 8th <strong>July</strong> when 64 ladies from across Renfrewshire will<br />
compete in a Ladies Rinks competition - however the bowls are secondary on<br />
the day and our primary focus is to raise as much money as possible for the<br />
St. Vincent’s Hospice. As usual we will be having a large home baking sale and<br />
we would ask any members and friends who are skilled in this area to provide<br />
donations. We will also be holding a large raffl e and again would ask members,<br />
friends and local businesses to consider donating prizes and also it would be<br />
great if a large number of the general public would come along to the Bowling<br />
Club on the day to support this event by purchasing home baking and raffl e<br />
tickets.<br />
For more details on the home baking sale and<br />
to arrange home baking donations please<br />
contact Isabel Gilchrist on 01505 613316. For<br />
donations of raffl e prizes please contact John<br />
Gilchrist on 01505 613316.<br />
To purchase home baking items or raffl e tickets<br />
simply come along to the club any time between<br />
10am and 5pm on Sunday 8th <strong>July</strong>.<br />
Over the many years the Bowling Club in<br />
Houston have been holding this Charity Day we<br />
have raised thousands of pounds for the very<br />
worthy cause in the name of the St. Vincent’s<br />
Hospice - with your help we hope to beat last<br />
year’s total of £1,315 this year.<br />

The Importance of<br />
Eating Well<br />
Home Instead Senior Care<br />
works throughout Renfrewshire<br />
and Barrhead with an ambition<br />
to provide excellent support at<br />
home for the older generation,<br />
and to build the name of Home Instead as the most trusted company for<br />
personalised home care.<br />
Home Instead Senior Care provides a range of supportive services.<br />
Sometimes this includes the preparation of meals and encouraging a client<br />
to enjoy a healthy balanced diet. Where Home Instead are involved, we can<br />
ensure that clients are eating properly and monitor any changes in health<br />
and wellbeing. Our latest campaign aims to help and assist families who<br />
are providing care for their loved ones themselves, to be aware of an older<br />
person’s risk of becoming malnourished.<br />
The best way to ensure someone is eating a healthy<br />
balanced diet is to be there in person during mealtimes<br />
however, we know that when families are caring for their<br />
parents or relatives, there isn’t always enough time in<br />
busy schedules to sit and enjoy every mealtime together.<br />
Our guidance on Staying Nourished will hopefully provide<br />
some advice on ways to ensure your loved one stays<br />
healthy at home.<br />
Why choose Home Instead Senior Care?<br />
• Minimum one hour visits gives time to develop positive relationships<br />
• A reliable service with continuity of CareGiver to their clients<br />
• Carefully matched Caregivers to Clients<br />
