The first Monday of each month, we have a Birthday Bash to celebrate all those who have a birthday during that month. Although the third of April was a chilly day, the special guest for our first birthday celebration warmed us with his poetry. We enjoyed Art Gingerich so much we had him back later in the month even though it wasn't .a party. His poems evoke so many memories and awake an awareness of the beau- ties around us in our usual worlds. That's not all that's new. Marga- ret Robinson has joined our staff. She comes in to do baths and now, thanks to her expertise, we will be able to offerfoot care each day we are open! Her friendly smile and quiet humour have added a touch all their own to our days here at the Centre. Since April was designated Na- tional Humour Month, we celebrat- ed by watching some old comedies such as "There's No Business Like Show Business," and the hilarious "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." Last fall we enjoyed discovering St. Marys so much we decided to investigate some other towns and their history. Exeter was the first on our list for '89 and we spent two successive days there with a total of 21 people. We even saw one of their famous white squirrels! The Times has always played an important part in the life of Exeter.

Twice we've visited East Wil- liams School. The first time was to see the gymnastics team do their routines and the'skipping! Double Dutch was enough for most of us to conquer, but try it while skip- ping your own single rope! That was just ONE of the feats they ac- complished. A week later we were back to watch the "Trial of the Big Bad Wolf'. A whole van -load had a night out when we went to the Lamplighter Inn to the final night for the Com- munity Club Awards. We came home $235 richer and celebrated on the way home with donuts that blew some diets to smithereens. We made all the curfews though, so no one was locked out! With our bazaar coming up May 26, we're painting up a storm. Not only ceramics, but we're adding silk scarves to our repertoire! At the end of our first day of painting those scarves, our fingers were almost as colorful as the scarves themselves, but it sure was fun! We'll be open bosh afternoon an evening on the twenty-sixth, so we'll hope to see many of you there! Dutch Style Beef Croquettes Full size or ball croquettes, excellent party snacks.
