As a salute to the week and a promotion for the centre, one of our board members, Rev. Doug Zehr from Brussels, designed a bulletin cover to be circulated among 50 area churches this Sunday. The cover, illustrates the activities and operation of the centre and' also has, a very fitting poem on the aged. Don't kid yourself, aging is a biological process that we all experience. Please read the bulletin cover, it was compiled for the community so it would be made more aware of the centre. Although we now set vice a good number of semors, there are many more in the community who could benefit from attending the centre. About 40 seniors enjoyed a bus trip to the Waterloo County Mennonite area of St. Jacob's, Elmira, Hawkes- ville and West Montrose last Tuesday. Thursday, at 1:15 p.m., Sheryl Gilbert, a health educator from the Huron County Health Unit, will be our guest speaker. Ms. Gilbert will be addressing the topic of misuse of medications and other drugs. Any senior from the community is welcome to come and hear her speak. Next Thursday, June 23, is the date of our annual meeting at the centre. This public meeting is for any interested citizenwhowish. to attend. We encourage a full attendance from the community from which we receive so much support. Our chairman, Janet Reid, will give a yearly report, I will give a yearly report, the financial audit „will-- be verified and the 1983-84 hoard of directors will be nominated and elected.
