Thanks to all who brought plants and - cuttings to get us started again, Many seniors with green, thumbs enjoy this program and it brightens up the centre. A very successful volun- teer workshop was held Sept. Funder the direction off Mil Stuart, coordinator of volun- teers. Without the valuable contribution of the volun- teers, the total day centre program would be im- possible, The Tuesday group at the centre has been invited to Brookhaven for a social afternoon on Tuesday, Oct. 27. This will be a good chance for those attending the day centre to renew old acquaintances with those living at Brookhaven. This Thursday, Oct. 15, the regular program will be can- celled to give the hospital auxiliary time to set up for its rummage sale the following day. The next foot clinic will be held Nov. 18 in the Armouries; anyone wishing to take advantage of it who does not attend the day centre should call and leave his or her name. The purpose of column is two -fold: to inform seniors who attend the day centre what will be happening and to inform the general public what the day centre is, whom, We are serving and what is being accomplished. The day isn't fast ap- proaching, it's here right . now; that continued rec- reation and social programs need to continue throughout the retirement years.
