Athabasca & District Seniors Society Newsletter May 15, 2025
The Board met last Tuesday and reviewed our financial reports, several maintenance issues, and plans for a kitchen renovation, among other items. The next Board meeting isn’t until August and thus there won’t be a Newsletter in June or July. Our expenses for the period ending April 30, 2025 exceeded our revenues by roughly $2,100.
Thursday, May 22 and May 29, are the last two Restorative Yoga classes (both floor and chair) until the Fall. Classes are from 11:00 to noon. The cost is $5/class session. Line dancing is now over until the Fall. Exercise, Cards, and Snooker will continue through out the summer, as will Bingo (see below for days and times of these activities). We still urgently need someone to volunteer to be the Bingo Coordinator. If no one volunteers soon, we won’t be able to hold Bingo at the Seniors Centre anymore. If you can help, please speak with Stuart McMillan.
Over the last couple of weeks there have been two very successful bus trips. The first was to the Mayfield Theatre to see Jersey Boys and last week were the greenhouse visits and a Chinese buffet. Bernice is now planning a bus trip for August 28 to the Metis Crossing at Smoky Lake. Upon arrival at the Crossing, soup and sandwiches will be provided, followed by a 1 1/2 hour tour and cultural experience. Total cost for the trip is $75 and payment is due no later than August 12. Contact Bernice at 780-689-8067 or at bhhewko@gmail.com for further information.
The Centre will be holding another Art Class on Saturday, June 14 from 1-3 pm. Tanis Klein will be the instructor again and the medium this time will be acrylic and the theme will be flowers. Cost is $7/person. Sign-up sheet at the Seniors Centre. Members only.
