Seniors' Day Centre News By Christine Gibson On a sad note, we said goodbye to our meals supervisor, Bonnie Rupert, last week. She is planning to update her hairstyling qua- lifications. We will all miss her cooking, especially those tea biscuits. We also welcome Catherine Casemore, our new meals supervisor, to the centre andare looking forward to the new dishes she will be planning for us. Our next foot clinic is Oct. 19 in the afternoon. Please call 357-1440 to make an appointment, We enjoyed visiting the local high school last Wednesday and Thursday. I think we 'surprised the family studies class about what the seniors' lives were like when they were teenagers. How times have changed! We hope the information we could give was helpful to the students. Last Friday we held a potluck dinner for our volunteers. After a great lunch we enjoyed the film "Communication Roadblocks", Thanks to all the volunteers who came and enjoyed this day with us. We have two bus trips coming up. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we will be heading to Kitchener to celebrate Oktoberfest- at --the. Victoria Place Retirement Lodge. We also are looking forward to seeing the fall colors on the way to Kitchener. We visit the Gingerbread Doll Museum at Wroxeter on Oct. 18. A small reminder to all our clients: there will be no program on Thursday, .Oct. 20, due to the hospital auxiliary rummage sale. We will be having our Hallowe'en party on Oct. 27 in the afternoon. All the ghosts and goblins can dance to Gord's Olde TymelWusic and prizes will be awarded for the best costumes. Everyone is welcome. I'll leave you with this thought: "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious. 99 Towle of Wingham GARDEN REFUSE PICC -UP Notice is hereby given that , the town will pick up garden refuse on Wednesday, October 19, 1988.
