STASIA BUDREWICZ
Since July 2010, Stasia Budrewicz has lived at Post Inn Village in Oakville. However, throughout her amazing life, she has lived in
many other places around the world! Her story is quite amazing.
Stasia’s face lights up as she recalls her story. “I was born in a village in Poland – I had
one brother and I remember we always sang.” Her father was a forester, “if he didn’t
work at cutting down trees and planting more, there were no fires to cook on.”
One day, when Stasia was eight years old and alone in the house, a fortune teller
came to the door. “Don’t be afraid”, she told her “give me your hand.” As Stasia
stood, transfixed at what was occurring and too terrified to scream, the woman
told her, “you will go east, west, south and you will be very happy” and, “it all
happened!” Stasia says, with a sense of wonder in her voice, “and I am very happy.”
After the Second World War broke out, a work camp in Siberia was the next stop for
the family. In the “cattle car” they were deported in “there were no seats”, she tells
me. “It took five weeks”. For two years, the family lived in a one room wooden
shack with seven other people and Stasia worked with her father as a lumberjack.
“We were always hungry in Siberia, believe me, there was no teenage rebellion
going on.” “Only when it was 45 below zero, did we stay inside.”
When her father signed on as a Polish army officer under British command, the family was sent to Tanganyika, Africa for six years.
“Tanganyika is called Tanzania now,” Stasia tells me, “they combined Tanganyika and Zanzibar”. With their father off fighting, and on
their way to Africa, Stasia and her family were detained for three months in Tehran. They lived in a tent with many other families,
slept on the floor, and were taken to the mosques to be fed. During this time, Stasia was a supervisor for meals and because of the
spitting that occurred, has disliked large group meals to this day.
Stasia learned English in Africa, and put that skill to good use daily as an interpreter and it was also here that her choice of career was
born – that of a pharmacist, which she pursued (in Birmingham and Hereford) when she finally reached England. “Oh I loved that
job”, Stasia says happily.
It was in England that Stasia met her husband-to-be, Anthony, and they decided on their next move – to Canada. Anthony and Stasia
were married for 60 years. They had two children, Gregory and Anne, and lived in High Park, near enough to walk over every day.
Residing now on Birch at Post Inn, (and President of Post Inn’s Resident Council), Stasia, now 86, loves to work and can be found every
afternoon at the front desk sorting the mail for delivery to the residents. Her parting words following the interview were “They say
when you are born in the fall, you will be rich. I’m still waiting”. To that, we say…
“See you tomorrow at the front desk Stasia; you’re an important member of our team!”

Message from Regional Chair Carr
On behalf of Regional Council, I would like to thank you for the support you provide to the Willow
Foundation. Each year, volunteers at the Willow Foundation organize fundraising activities for the
benefit of seniors in our long-term care homes (Allendale, Creek Way Village, Post Inn Village) and
adult day programs (Milton Place, Friends Landing, Silver Creek Place). This year, over $87,000 has
been raised by the Willow Foundation through their annual golf tournament and other fundraising
ventures.
In 2011 the Willow Foundation purchased equipment for a sensory cart at Allendale, two new
barbeques for Post Inn Village and five television units for the long-term care homes. Funds were
also used to support the creation of Willow Foundation Tuck shops at Allendale and Post Inn Village;
to provide a built-in book unit for a resident home area at Allendale; and a bookcase/fireplace surround unit at Silver Creek Place
Adult Day program. In addition, the Willow Foundation hosts annual events in the homes such as Strawberry Socials and Tree
Lighting Ceremonies.
Whether you donate your time or money, you are helping to enrich the lives of the seniors we care for in our Regional long-term care
homes and at our Adult Day programs. Thank you for your generosity.
I would also like to express my appreciation to the Board of Directors of the Willow Foundation for your continued dedication to the
seniors in our homes and Adult Day programs.
Together, your efforts help to make Halton a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
Sincerely
Gary Carr
Regional Chair
SMILES ALL AROUND FROM THE SMILE THEATRE
Allendale residents always look forward to
the clever and entertaining Smile Theatre
which performs at Allendale three times a
year. At the most recent presentation of
“Patsy Cline, Entertainer”, faces lit up,
smiles emerged and toes were tapping in
time to the music as "Patsy" played out her life story, speaking of
her childhood and the professional and personal challenges that
she experienced throughout her adolescent years. The actress
sang a variety of songs that explained the message behind
Patsy’s lyrics. Residents were entranced and loved watching her
portray a legend in such an entertaining light.
Other productions that have been presented at Allendale include
Anne of Green Gables, A Joyful Noise and the perennial
favourite Christmas plays. Residents are often found hours after
the events still singing the same tunes from the play and
laughing about the performances that have encouraged them to
relive their memories.
The Willow Foundation is thrilled to bring this live theatre
experience to Allendale, Creek Way Village and Post Inn Village
three times each year. The productions are written by Canadians
and feature professional singers, actors and dancers.
A “WONDERLAND EVENING” AT ALLENDALE
Last December Allendale hosted its first “Wonderland Dance”. The Bishop Redding School Jazz
Band performed some much-loved Big Band tunes and residents, staff, family members and
volunteers danced the night away. The Bar/Café at Allendale was all decorated for Christmas,
which added to the wonderfully festive atmosphere.
Partygoers got dressed up for the occasion and enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres served
throughout the evening. Many residents and family members took to the dance floor for a
turn or two and the entire evening was a splendid success.
One family member recounted how he had tears in his eyes as he watched his parents
twirl around the dance floor – something he knew they had really loved to do in their
younger years and once again revisited on this “Wonderland” evening.

SWEET STRAWBERRIES
One of the highlights of
The Willow Foundation’s
yearly agenda is the
presentation of
Strawberry Social events
at all three long term
care homes. Occurring
in June, at the height of
strawberry season, the
event always features
live entertainment, lots
and lots of sweet fruit
and ice cream.
For some reason, Allendale has a special link with the weather
forecasters. Each year the Allendale Strawberry Social has the
best weather of all three residences, and this year was no
exception! The blue sky, breezes, plentiful sunshine and live
entertainment by the Escapade Trio was enjoyed by over 120
guests, family members staff and volunteers. Pink and white
balloons (always a staple at any garden party), graced the
gardens and everyone was reluctant to leave when it was
all over!
At Post Inn Village, residents, staff and volunteers filled two long
tables, busily hulling and cutting countless strawberries in
preparation for the party. Peter Baumann provided the
accompaniment for the event and everyone participated in a
sing-along to perennial Irish and Scottish favourite songs.
“Seconds” of strawberries and ice cream were widely enjoyed!
Creek Way’s event was held outdoors for the first time in three
years! There have been drastically unfortunate storms and
clouds in the past and everyone was thrilled to have the event
outdoors. The balloons created an unmistakable party
atmosphere and residents were serenaded by a steel band! The
music evoked beaches and relaxed vacations and everyone was
immediately in a party mood. The irrepressible Halle, as always,
had been industriously working behind the scenes preparing the
strawberries and they were extremely delicious!
The Strawberry Socials signal the start of the summer season of
programs and events at all of the long term care homes.
CHIRP, CHIRP, CHIRP!
CRAFTERS UNITE!
The Willow Foundation
funds many programs
throughout the year, not
only at the three long
term care homes, but at
the Adult Day Programs as
well. These programs
include Friends Landing
and Milton Place at
Allendale and Silver Creek,
the newest program, in Georgetown. Early in 2011, The Willow
Foundation was approached to fund a Chick Hatching Program!
An incubator with 12 fertilized eggs was delivered to the Silver
Creek site and the process took 4-5 weeks until the baby chicks
were hatched. Participants numbered the eggs and were
involved in the daily “turning” of the eggs as well as ensuring
that the correct temperature was maintained in the incubator.
Everyone participated in checking in on any daily progress and
eagerly anticipated the arrival of the chicks. Hatching took two
days and chicks were left at Silver Creek for two further days to
allow residents to give each and every one lots of cuddles.
In conversation with Tracy Faulkner, the Coordinator at Silver
Creek, I discovered that the entire experience was extremely
interesting and involved not only the residents, but family
members and family members of volunteers as well! Tracy
concluded with “the residents loved it and I would definitely do
it again and recommend it for any group!”
One of the Willow Foundation’s funded programs involved the
crafters at Silver Creek Adult Day Program in Georgetown.
A representative from
Stampin’ Up, an extremely
creative and innovative
rubber stamping company,
came to visit with the
participants and show them
how to create greeting cards
using Stampin’ Up products.
The residents loved the
program. Many of the
clients have had experience
with making personal greeting cards for birthdays and special
occasions and were thrilled with the range of new products and
techniques that the representative was able to show them.
A wide variety of stamps have been purchased for the Silver
Creek program and clients are free to use them whenever
they like or as a planned activity
for the day. “It gives
everyone a wonderful sense of
personal fulfillment” reports
Tracy. Perhaps we will see some
of the creations for sale in the
Willow Tuck Shops!

THE ARTISTS’ CORNER
There is a wonderful new addition to the Allendale Bar Café! The Life
Enrichment Staff have encouraged residents to create an “Artists’
Corner” Exhibit for everyone to enjoy.
Residents were invited to create a piece of art that meant something
special to them or that appealed to their “artist within”. All of the
creations are wonderfully displayed in groupings on the wall.
Every type of art has been encouraged and portrayed in the exhibit,
from pastels, to acrylics to watercolours – many mediums have been explored and it makes a striking addition to the venue.
Their efforts are to be applauded and greatly enjoyed. The creation of art is a joyous thing and as the artists create further items, the
exhibit becomes an ever-changing, life exploring effort. Be sure to drop by and have a look!
FAMILY DAY BBQ AT POST INN VILLAGE
The Family Day BBQ has become an
extremely popular annual event at Post Inn
Village and this year was no exception. On a
perfect, sunny summer Sunday in June, over
300 people attended this year’s extravaganza
- a wonderful opportunity for residents,
family members and staff to mingle and
enjoy themselves. There were activities for
the children too – balloons, a kids’ craft
station, popcorn and a magician. Guests
enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs (expertly
prepared by the Post Inn Life Enrichment
Staff) salads, watermelon, desserts and
freezies. Everyone had a marvelous time –
Thank you Post Inn Life Enrichment Staff for a
wonderful day! The Willow Foundation
purchased two new BBQs for this and future
events for residents and family members to
enjoy for years to come.

LIFE ENRICHMENT SUPERVISOR ~ MELISSA DARASKA
Hi there! I’m Melissa Daraska, and I am
excited to be the Life Enrichment Supervisor
at Creek Way Village while Emily is away on
her maternity leave. I have an honors degree
from Brock University in Sport Management
and a bachelors degree in Inclusive and
Therapeutic Recreation.
engagement in meaningful activity is what
makes our days so bright and encourage
everyone to find what makes them happy and
pursue it.
I have been fortunate to work with many
wonderful teams in a variety of settings
including many long term care homes
throughout the Niagara Region. I am excited
to begin this new journey with such a
wonderful team, whose energy, commitment
and creativity have made such a positive
impact on the people they serve. I look forward
to sharing this year with everyone here at
Creek Way!
I began teaching therapeutic aqua-fit for
seniors while I was in high school, this is
where my passion for helping others began. I
enrolled in Sport Management to develop
my skills in leadership and continued with
my second degree to further my knowledge
on the benefits of leisure. I believe that
RUBY ROSE 100 YEARS YOUNG!
Residents, family and friends were on hand July 4th, 2011 to help Creek Way resident Ruby
Rose celebrate her 100th birthday. Ruby looked wonderful in her pink outfit and beautiful
smile.
RALEIGH GIRL
It is very sad for me to tell you that our
beautiful, amazingly delightful pup Raleigh
passed away suddenly in early February. She
had, unbeknownst to us or the vet, a hole in
her heart.
She is profoundly missed not only
by us, her family, but by her family
at Post Inn Village. She will be in
our hearts forever.
PENNY THE HOOLIGAN PUPPY
P.T.H.P., as she is affectionately known at our house, is our
golden retriever puppy. Personally, I had been angling for a
lapdog, but the men in my family vetoed that in a hurry. When I
picked her out of the litter, she was a sleepy, adorable, quiet girl
and since we were hoping for a calm puppy we decided that she
was the one. On the day we took her home, the breeder casually
mentioned that Penny had weighed more than any other puppy
in the litter, coming in at 12 pounds,and that should have told
me that Penny was going to be BIG right there! But of course,
we were already smitten with her and away we went.
At four months, she is growing straight up from her feet and I
predict my puppy hugs will soon involve her paws on my
SHOULDERS when she greets me. Currently, she weighs in at 30
pounds and is a happening, ever-moving little bundle of energy.
One of her favourite tricks is making “Lake Penny” in the kitchen,
(where she is still corralled for the most part). Leaving any water
down on the floor results in wild pawing at the water dish to see
how big a lake she can make.
We tried putting a towel
under the water dish only
to find that she thinks
towels are wonderful
toys to drag around and
great fun to take out
from under the water
dish!
We have just about given up
taking things out of her mouth because
that would be a constant and futile exercise.
Sticks of any variety are a huge treat for her. She is
very adept at holding the stick between her paws and
tearing off the bark for a tasty treat. It is great fun to watch her!
Hopefully, Penny will step into Raleigh’s “shoes” as a visitor to
everyone at Post Inn Village – time will tell!
