Tuesday between 9:00 and 11:00 AM in the Roundhouse, everyone welcome. Some of the current activities include knitting, crochet, quilting, tapestry, bag making, embroidery and any other handicraft activity that is of interest. If you would like to join for social interac-tion, or to learn a skill, or even to teach a

different activity then we would be delighted to see you. None of us are experts but we all help each other and have a lot of laughs. Every two months we go out for lunch following our session as a so-cial get-together. Join us for morning tea at 10:00 AM any Tuesday to see what we are about or contact Fran Fleming (unit 44) or Bev Bender (unit 87).

SOCIAL COMMITTEE

Our Saint Patricks Day function was attended by over 50 happy

laughing people.

We celebrated in true Irish form with Irish Cream on arrival, which was followed by Irish Stew & all the green & orange trimmings ( in-cluding green bread ). Dessert also had green & orange trimmings.

The Circles entertained us with their music & songs that we are all familiar with. So we danced, sang & laughed to our hearts content. A great night was had by everyone who attended.

Our thanks to those who lent a hand.

- Janet Myers, President
