Advisory Board
Notes & News Keeping active is very important for all of us as we transition into our "Golden Years"
With this in mind, your Board of Directors have decided to subsidize two events coming up in June.
First is a free BBQ for seniors on June 9th in conjunction with a showcase of Senior's Activities in our centre. Everyone loves a BBQ!
Second is our year end luncheon on June 22nd. The entertainment is a "Tribute to the 50's & 60's". Come out and enjoy the good food and sing your hearts out to the songs from our youth!
My challenge to you: Bring 1 non-member guest with you and persuade them that this is the place to come for fun, exercise and food!!
