AKRON, Ohio — The stars of a charity calendar are
in their 80s and 90s, but that didn't stop the men and women from
an assisted living facility in Ohio from showing a little skin.
Miss March, who's 88, wears a green top hat and not much else in
the calendar from Pleasant Pointe Assisted Living, and the
centerfolds are two women in their 90s who seem to be playing poker
with strategically placed oversize cards.
Flip to February and you'll see a smiling, white-haired Dottie
Rutter soaking in a bubble bath and flower petals, with chocolates
and lingerie nearby.
At 87, she's the same age as the youngest of three models
standing in the cover photo, where their bare feet and shoulders
peek out from behind a banner they hold advertising the Barberton
facility and the affiliated Pleasant View Health Care Center.
It reads: "Pleasant View, Pleasant Pointe."
Another resident in the calendar is covered only by a large
exercise ball.
Administrator Teresa Morris told The Akron Beacon Journal
(http://bit.ly/1x0K3x3) that the residents were clearly having fun
the morning the photos were taken.
"The residents were like 20-year-olds — giggling, and having the
time of their lives," Morris said. "I do not believe the elderly
should just sit around staring at each other. I want a fun
environment where I challenge them and they challenge me."
Money from the $12 calendars goes toward a fund providing shoes
for children in the local schools in the city of Barberton.
