Art Bowes, Irene Britt, Earnest Durham,<br />

We extend our deepest sympathy to<br />

all who have lost a loved one<br />

“MEMORIAL DONATIONS”<br />

A very special thank you to the families of our late members who, at a very<br />

difficult time in their lives, have remembered the <strong>Centre</strong> in different ways<br />

— by mentioning their loved one’s membership here at the <strong>Centre</strong> and<br />

by suggesting donations may be made to the<br />

Special Projects Fund.<br />

Our best wishes for a speedy recovery to those not in the best of health!<br />

We have a limited number of bricks<br />

still available for sponsorship at $100.00 each<br />

The “Corporate” Portion of our Brick Wall still has spots available - this is for donations of<br />

between $1,000 and $4,999 (bronze); between $5,000 and $9,999 (silver); and $10,000 and above (gold).<br />

We are keeping track of all donations received since the beginning of our Brick Wall project (that have not been<br />

acknowledged with either a Brick or a Teddy Bear) and once an individual’s donations reach the $1,000 mark<br />

they will be acknowledged on the “Corporate” wall.<br />

Thanks to all who support the <strong>Centre</strong>’s fundraising efforts<br />

Tax Receipts will be issued for all donations.<br />

ASAC CHRISTMAS PARTIES 2011<br />

Both our Christmas Parties were a hugh success.<br />

Thank you to all our Music Groups & their leaders,<br />

for their talents, that were enjoyed by everyone. Santa<br />

and his Elf were also appreciated, as we know that<br />

everyone was on their best behaviour all year!!

POT LUCK LUNCHES<br />

I just wanted to let all our Pot Luck people know, that if you do not feel like cooking, there are other alternatives.<br />

You could pick up some sliced cold meat, salads, jellos, possibly a meat pie, or other frozen entrée, (and heat it in the<br />

oven before you come); or ice cream, pies, (the bakeries in the stores do some great baking)!!<br />

This would help our Staff who are now spending some valuable time cooking, instead of doing their own particular<br />

jobs. This makes it hard to find the time to do everything. Please see if these ideas will work for you, as it would definitely<br />

work for the <strong>Centre</strong>.<br />
