Please join us on Friday April 17th for a FREE movie which is Elvis (2022). It has a Rotten Tomatoes audience rating of 94% and, according to their website, the audience says “Like the man himself, Elvis delivers dazzling, crowd-pleasing entertainment that provokes a wide range of emotions.” Doors open at 1:00 p.m., movie starts at 1:30. We will provide tea, coffee and snacks. This event is provided in partnership with the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula’s Senior Active Living Centre (SALC) funding with support from the Government of Ontario.
Also, this month, we are holding two ‘Lunch and Learn’ events:
- Friday April 24th, 11:30-2:30 “Lets Talk about Age Friendly Communities” with Emily Kussman of Bruce County
- Wednesday April 29th 11:00 am-2:00 pm “Let’s Talk About Options for Housing for Older Adults” with Angela Yensson, lawyer for the Owen Sound Community Legal Clinic.
Just a reminder that weekly Tai Chi classes are Fridays, 9:30 to 10:30. The classes are open to everyone so, if you’re interested, please come out a few minutes early, and bring a dry pair of shoes with you. The focus of the moves is to improve balance, stretch and of course, to have fun. This is not a “hot” workout so casual wear is fine.
Join us on Mondays and Thursdays (except the first Thursday of the month) at 1:00 pm for a fun round of darts. Doors open at 12:30, play begins at 1:0 and it costs $3 to play. Saturday, April 4th, we play “darts for meat”, where you play for a chance to bring home a prize cut, entry is $4.00 plus $1 per game (maximum $10 depending on your skill/luck). Our address is 6 Hellyer Road. Contact me at branch202pro@gmail.com
We will remember them
