Residents of the Peninsula Retirement Residence stepped back in time to help raise money for the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation.

I Love LucyThe sale of a 2015 calendar featuring more than two dozen of the residents posing as characters from vintage television shows raised $2,135 for the foundation.

Shows represented included I Love Lucy, I Dream of Jeannie, Charlie's Angels, Davy Crockett, The Three Stooges, Laverne & Shirley and MASH.

Retirement counsellor Jennifer Nelson said the project was the inspiration of a Peninsula staff member and two residents. The recreation team spent months sourcing the costumes and props and co-ordinating 33 volunteer models, Nelson said.
