The activities at Action Now Senior Centre during the holidays and early January were not well attended due to the extremely cold weather and flu and colds that were affecting many, causing them to stay indoors and recover. However with temperatures moderating this week, we expect normal attendance from now on.
Earlier in December, a Christmas dinner was held with 55 guests attending. Always the favourite of the year and catered to by Second to None, everyone enjoyed a delicious meal followed by an afternoon of Kaiser and socializing.
Also following the dinner, where 10 birthday celebrants for November and December were honoured, the annual donation of $5,500 was presented to Claudette McGuire from the Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation on behalf of the club members and including funds they receive from Sask. Lotteries. McGuire thanked everyone for their support over many years and assured them the money was appreciated and would be put to good use.
Get well wishes are extended to a couple of our honorary members who have suffered pelvis and hip injuries as a result of falls. Speedy recovery wishes are extended to Clara and Irene and we hope to see you back soon.
All activities will continue as usual throughout February with the birthday dinner being held Feb. 8. All members, regular and honorary, who don't come on a regular basis are still welcome to attend. Dinners are usually potluck or $5 if you don't bring food and begins at noon followed by cards.
Hope you all enjoy the good weather while it lasts and happy new year to all.
