J..... By Christine Gibson The long-awaited spring weather finally has joined us. Last week we enjoyed completing our ceramics and starting new projects. I can hardly wait until they come out of the kiln to see what they look like! We also took advantage of the warmer weather by getting out into the sunshine and taking walks around the centre. Our Tuesday group did some shopping last Tuesday at our local Shopper's Drug Mart at Zehrs Plaza. They all enjoyed the, dis- counts, friendly service and refresh- ments provided. It's nice to know that our local merchants make this extra effort for seniors. This week we will be making tray favors for the hospital for the months of June, July and August. We enjoy being able to help other organizations in the community Next week we are looking for- ward to a week in China. Many special activities are planned around our armchair travel to China. Dawson Pollock will be here Tuesday to tell us what it is like to visit China. On Wednesday we'll try to eat as the Chinese do as we try our hands at using chopsticks. On Thursday we'll glance into the future as our fortunes are told by fortune cookies. Our next foot clinics are sched- uled for June 1 and June 21. Please call the centre at 357-1440 or 357- 1445 to book your appointment time.
