Well, we didn’t have a lot of Indian Summer this year but our programs have started back up and there is good attendance.  This coming Tuesday the computer club is starting back up but there needs to be some discussion about the future so please attend.  The Volunteer Luncheon is on September 22 so if you have been invited, please pick up your ticket at the front desk.

Is your group looking for a new place to meet that is level entry and safe?  Our seniors centre rents space when we are not using it.  Check out the “”RENTAL” link on our website for more information.  Contact Bev Birce at the centre.

We all like a deal.  We have put on our “LINKS” page a new link entitled “Seniors Discounts”  check it our.  You may not know of some of them.

Well it isn’t the best summer so far but hopefully it will improve.  Our summer programs are running under their summer hours, check the calendar on the website for changes.  Also, don’t forget we are still offering our great lunches, they are also on this website.  You may bring your guests with you to sample some of the great food.  See you there!

Wow, Spring is here.  We are enjoying lovely weather but others in our province are dealing with flooding.  We should appreciate this weather.

We now have a Director of Communications, his name is Bob Bray.  He has implemented an email program so now we can send you the Newsletter by the internet instead of having to copy it and you pick it up.  Great paper saver!  His new Newsletter format will be on this website soon.  You will now get the Newsletter separately from the Calendar from the Menu.

There is another exciting program coming on April 25.  It is called “Stay on the Road” and it will be given by COSCO volunteers at the Willow Point hall….But, you have to register so when the email comes from Bob, please pay attention to the information if you want to come.  There will be a limit.  They will also spend a small portion of their time on “Navigating the Emergency Department”.  Hopefully we won’t need that too soon.
