What’s New at Eaton’s? Moose Jaw & District Senior Citizens Association Inc.
We are excited to announce that starting September 6, 2017, Betty Michalski will be offering a Tai Chi class Wednesday mornings. She will be teaching the Chen style of Tai Chi.
What is Tai Chi? Tai Chi is the art of embracing the mind,
body and spirit.. Tai Chi is the most effective exercise for
health of mind and body. There are many styles and forms of tai
chi.. The flowing movements of Tai Chi con-
tain much inner strength like water flowing in a river, beneath the tranquil
surface there is immense power, the power for healing and wellness.
With consistent practice, people are able to feel the external energy, fitness, agility and balance will improve.
Studies have shown that Tai Chi im-
proves muscular strength, flexibility, re-lieves pain and improves quality of life (i.e., reduces stress, improves sleep)
Tai Chi refers to the philosophy of the forces of Yin and Yang related to the moves.
The movements of the form helps to bring about a state of mental calm and clarity.
It stimulates the flow of vital energy known as “Chi”.
Chen Tai Chi has about 20 movements. Enhances control instability
The Yin Yang is an ancient Chinese symbol that has significant meaning about the uni-
verse. This popular black and white symbol essentially represents that there are two
forces in the universe that are constantly opposing each other, yet at the same time
are complementary together.

TICKLE YOUR FUNNY BONE
1. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fish.
2. A man walked into the doctors, he said, "I've hurt my arm in sev-
eral places" The doctor said, "Well don't go there any more"
3. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I
couldn't find any.
4. I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that
he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, No, the
steaks, are too high."
5. My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled
him in..
6. A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shout-
ed, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I
know you can't, I've cut your arms off".
7. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a muscle.
8. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. They lit a fire in the
craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kay-
ak and heat it.
9. Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van cov-
ered with hundreds and thousands. Police say that he topped him-
self.
10. Man goes to the doctor, with a strawberry growing out of his
head. Doc says "I'll give you some cream to put on it."

Leslie Metheral joined the MJDS in
2000, and it was no time at all be-
fore she was actively volunteering
at the Centre. She has done a vari-
ety of volunteer jobs in the last 17
years. She spent 6 years as a board
member, volunteered in the kitch-
en for a couple of years, worked
at the front desk and helped
out with banquets. Most re-
cently she has taken over the
role of sending cards to people
who are sick or in hospital as
well as sympathy cards to the
family of members who have
passed away. Leslie wants
members to let her know if they
know of a member who is sick
or in hospital so she can send a
card. She also volunteers 2 days a
week at the hospital, so always
tries to make time for a visit when
she delivers the card.
When asked what brought her
here, Leslie says, “for something to
do.” She used to spend a lot of
time volunteering with Ruby Jack-
son and they did lots together.
Leslie has children in both ends of
the country. One in Vancouver,
one in Saskatoon and one in Mon-
treal. So, she spends a lot of time
traveling to visit them.
One fond memory she has of the
Centre was the year she road on
the parade float. It was sooooo
cold! The ladies were in long skirts
plus they had blankets under
their skirts to keep warm. She
also recalls putting together a
quilt and quilting it with the
other ladies. It was then auc-
tioned off as a fundraiser.
Volunteers are the heart of the
Moose Jaw & District Seniors.
Without them, we wouldn’t
exist. Thank you to Leslie for all
you have done the past 17
years!

A big thank you goes out to Grace Sorenson for helping out in the kitchen for the past few
weeks. Everyone has enjoyed her delicious baking!
Thank you also goes out to Tina and Barb for all the extra hard work they have done during

Café News
Your help is needed in the Kitchen! One of the ways we keep costs
down is by running the kitchen with volunteers in the afternoons.
Lately however, we are finding we are getting short of volunteer help
in the kitchens from 2:00-4:00 p.m. during the week.
If you are available for a couple of hours once a week, WE NEED YOU!
Please see Lori in the Office if you are able to help. Thanks!
