My name is Wilma Brink and I am the summer student working at the Wingham and Area Day Centre for the Homebound. As you probably know, this is a community service for the elderly who may not be able, for whatever reason, to participate in social, recreational activities. 1 am sure that my summer employ­ ment will provide me with benefi­ cial experience. Last week, from June 30-July 2, staff took advantage of the warm weather providing clients with a picnic and games in Riverside Park. The weather, picnic, and games are being enjoyed by all. A trip to the African Lion Safari on July 8 was also planned. Because everyone enjoyed view­ ing the play ‘ ‘Bordertown Cafe’ ’ at the Blyth Festival, staff have scheduled July 30 as the day to the see the next play, ‘‘Girls in the Gang”. The centre is once again plann­ ing a Foot Clinic Day. There are, in fact, two scheduled for July and they will be on July 9 and 22. If you are interested in participating in the Foot Clinic on either of these days, please call the centre at 357-1440 to make an appointment. As a special exercise program, the centre is offering Aqua-Fit to clients. This water exercise pro­ gram takes place in Vanastra so members meet at the Centre at 12:15. If you are interested in participating, or know of someone who would be, feel free to give the centre a call. Inmid-July, the Senior’s Day Centre has planned an Entertain­ ment Week. The afternoons of July 14,15,16 from 1:30-2:15 will be filled with the talent of local entertainers. Not only is this week organized for our clients but it is also designed for you, the com­ munity. This is your chance to come to the Senior’s Day Centre in Wingham not only to hear enter­ tainers like Harry Lavis and Anna Johnston but also to come and find out what the Day Centre is all about.
