Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-02-10, Page 11r Seniors Day .Centre by Pam Williams With the month of February upon us we are that much closer to the season of spr- ing. The question of the month will pro bably be "Did the ground hog see its shadow?" For the next six weeks we will have a student from Fanshawe College in Londoh helping us with our programs. Joelle Reavie is studying Recreation Leadership at college and she will be gaining ex- perience in the recreation field for older adults by assisting at the centre. Miss Reavie will be conducting a program survey at the centre as well as helping to plan special activities, and help with our regular routine at the centre. During the time period ( Feb. 13 - 28th ) that the XV Winter Olympic Games will be in Calgary, the Day Centre will also have Olympic Events. Of course they won't necessarily be the same events as the of- ficial winter games but hopefully they'll prove to be just as exciting. The foot clinics at the centre will be on February 11 and 24. The clinics are provid- ed by Community Nursing Services "but call the. Day Centre to book an appoint- ment ( 357-1445). The last week in February we will be try- ing to warm up from winter by having a "tropical week" or Hawaii week. Par- ticipants will be asked to wear bright, col- ourful summer clothing and the Day Cen- tre will provide leis, tropical food and hula dancing. That should warm us up a little in preparation for spring. The Day Centres' main aim is to provide social and recreational day program for homebound older adults in southern Bruce county and northern Huron county. Transportation to and from the centre is provided as well as a full course noon meal and daily activities. Please call us for more information. A thought for the month of February could be "Worry is like a rocking chair. — it gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere." We need extra volunteer drivers from the Lucknow area to drive on Wednesday or Thursday for our Day Centre program. Mileage is paid to basically cover a bit of "wear and tear" on your car but otherwise we are a non-profit charitable organiza- tion. A four door car is the most accessible so therefore that would be a preference. Please call 357-1440, 357-1445 for more information.

This year's study book "Eyes to See, Ears to Hear", was introduced by Mary Mac- Donald and Betty Johnson. The study cen- tres on Christian life in the U.S.S.R. Chris- tianity is alive in the U.S.S.R. but those practising this faith must maintain a low profile. They may worship, but must not spread the Gospel to others. Those who do practice the Christian faith forfeit any chance of promotion in the work place. As well, Christian children attending the schools are pressured into joining the communist youth party. If parents do not allow their children to jdin they live in danger of having their childrentaken from them and placed in a boarding school run by the party. It is certainly not easy to be a Christian in the U.S.S.R. In keeping with the theme Mary Mac- Donald and Betty Johnson served a borsch and rye bread for lunch. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ GODERICH ROTARY CLUB jss and THE SULLY FOUNDATION Present Brian Jackson and + ORCHESTRA LONDQN ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19 G.D.C.I.
