The Wingham Advance-Times, 1989-06-20, Page 20c� Ti • N NEWS. Welcome to summer! Our swim- ming pool opens this week. Pool schedules are posted outside the facility next to the °`Wmghan Dis- trict Swimming Pool" sign. After an extensive training ses- sion, our staff is looking forward to opening the pool. Our aquatic staff has asked me to review the pool policies which we have developed to ensure the safety of all communi- ty members. Please abide by these policies. The safety of you and your family depends on your support of our aquatic staff. Enjoy the pool, but please help our staff run a safe pool by following the policies that mem- bers have developed. These policies include: SENIORS' DAY CENTRA NEWS By Gloria Workman National Seniors' Month has been a busy one for area seniors. The slogan for the month is "Tap the Potential". Aging adults are a great source of volunteer power. If you are walking past the day centre, take a look at the flowers planted in half -barrels. The seniors had a great time digging around in the dirt! They were definitely the experts. Everyone enjoyed the music sup- plied by Gordon Wall's Old Tyme Music lasts -Wed nesd..A1nost -every person here took his turn on the dance floor. A special thank - you goes to the band members. The water exercise program in Vanastra started recently. Exercising in water is a gentle way to exercise. If you are interested in volunteering or attending the program, please call for more information. Thanks go out to those who par- ticipated in the fashion show for the Hewitt Therapy Fashion dis- play last Monday. Please note that we are scheduled to see "Sticks and Stones, the Don- nellys" instead of "Perils of Perse- phone" on June 22, as we originally thought. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The next foot clinics are sched- uled for June 21 and July 13. Please call 3574440 or 1445 for an appointment. The Day Centre's annual meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 26, at 1 pan. Follo -the-meeting, a video entitled ` . + king for Yester- day" by Naomi Teil will be shown.. The video looks at methods of help- ing the "old, old" senior validate his or her personal feelings and emotions. It's a good video, and worth seeing. This week seniors were sched- uled to do some ceramics; instead, they are going to work on -some Tray Favours for the Hospital Aux- iliary, Next week the Tuesday Group will be visiting with the Huron Day Centre for the Homebound. Each year members take turns hosting a visit with each other. Seniors are looking forward to the visit.
