It’s hard to believe it’s time for the December Echo!
What an eventful twelve months it has been. I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks for all of the support I have received personally and on behalf of the Centre. It will never be forgotten.
The Centre is humming along with many new and returning members. Activities, lunches and rentals are energized. Bus trips are continuing through December. Let Kathleen drive you to Vancouver for a casino trip or some shopping.
The latest dance starring Blue Western band with line dancing, regular dancing and socializing was a success.
Again, thanks to the Special Entertainment Committee—Jay, Collene & Ken, bartenders Alison & Jurgen & ticket desk greeters Mike & Richard and everyone else who helped out and attended.
So, what’s next? Mark your calendars for December 10th and make sure to get your tickets early. The Kilbirnie Station concert promises to be a wonderful Christmas Ceilidh!
The annual Christmas Luncheon will be on Friday December 16th. As usual, Emily has already started planning and preparing for a delicious buffet lunch.
Tickets are available at the front desk during office hours. A member has anonymously donated $100 towards our “Button Program” where we can pay forward our own good fortune to those who need a bit of help affording meals and is urging us all to contribute, now or at the luncheon.
The last regular lunch of 2022 is Wednesday December 14th. Emily and her marvellous kitchen volunteers will take a well deserved break, returning on Tuesday January 3rd. The Centre will be open the week of December 19–23rd from 10am-2pm and closed the last week of December. Some activities will continue. Check with your coordinator about this.
Watch for info about a New Year’s Eve dance (on New York time—phew!) which should be available soon.
Again, thank you for supporting our amazing Centre.
Wishing you all Happy Holidays and a wonderful 2023!
