Humming with activities<br />
BY GORDON HAUSER<br />
Abbotsford Senior Centre is<br />
humming with activity every day<br />
which makes life interesting for<br />
those 55 and older. Take Bridge<br />
for example. It's a quiet intellectual<br />
card game that takes place<br />
every day there. Once you've<br />
mastered the game, it seems you<br />
are hooked, for its complexities<br />
are never-ending and the possibilities<br />
of play challenging and<br />
exciting. But if you wish t o<br />
learn, there is a teacher and a<br />
beginners group meeting on<br />
Fridays. Bridge is one of those<br />
games where skilled experienced<br />
players find it difficult to slow<br />
their game to teach learners what<br />
they should have done. However,<br />
every game ends with a<br />
discussion of what might have<br />
been, so that every player is<br />
constantly learning. So start<br />
playing this fascinating game<br />
with beginners and have fun.<br />
Phone 230-5730 for more<br />
information, or call in and have<br />
coffee while you size up all the<br />
possibilities we have to offer.<br />
One possibility is the Writing<br />
Your Life Experiences course run<br />
by Ruth Latta. Her re-released<br />
book Life Writing - Autobiogra-<br />
Like to sew?<br />
Abbotsford Senior Centre is<br />
looking for people who enjoy<br />
sewing, to join their craft group.<br />
This fun-loving group of<br />
volunteers meets every Thursday<br />
at 1 p.m. and is responsible for<br />
making the beautiful crafts which<br />
are sold throughout the year and<br />
Remembering Mrs.<br />
Dorothy Soros, a <strong>Glebe</strong> resident<br />
who spent a lifetime helping others,<br />
died in January at age 99.<br />
Her former neighbours at the<br />

as a 'person of character' who was<br />
always very active.<br />
A graduate of McGill University,<br />
she became a teacher of retarded<br />
