Uniting’s Central Coast aged care home resident Margaret Scholz has ticked a major item off her bucket list at the age of 87.
It all began when Uniting’s Lifestyle and Wellness Co-ordinator Bettie Taylor came up with the idea of publishing a Movie Magic Calendar to raise funds.
The calendar features residents recreating scenes from iconic movies such as The Shining, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and The Wizard of Oz, with the project featuring on Channel 9’s Today show.
Margaret features as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and is the second resident to tick an item off the bucket list thanks to calendar sales.
Long fascinated with all things Egyptian, she made the trip down to the Australian Museum on February 29 to check out the Ramses: Gold of the Pharaohs Exhibit.
Margaret and Bettie Taylor enjoyed lunch at the museum prior to beginning the tour at 1pm.
“I am so excited,” Margaret said as she went into the exhibition.
“I have wanted to do something like this since I visited Egypt many years ago.
“I can’t wait to learn more about Ramses as he was the greatest Pharaoh that ever lived!”
After the visit, Margaret said she had been especially enthralled with the coffins, especially that of Ramses himself.
“And the jewellery was just beautiful,” she said.
