Hello Everyone!
January has passed by quickly, and we are looking forward to the short month of February, when we enjoy Valentine’s

chocolates and cinnamon hearts. Let the office know if you can join us for a Chinese lunch with Kim Shan. Cost will
be $10.00 per person. We will also have some entertainment, so come out and enjoy this time of fun and fellowship
with each other.
Grandkid’s Day will be on Friday, March 6 th , and we would like you to bring your grandchildren to this
event! We will have fun in the exercise room, as well as some entertainment for everyone!
More details will be available at the Centre by February. Put this day on your calendar, as the places we have
available fill up quickly. Cost for this event will be $4.00 for Children and $9.00 for Adults. Make sure to mark this
date on your Calendar, as we do have limited space for this event!
Wednesday, April 11 th , is Golf Registration Day, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. We will be having our partnership with
Oak Gables again, and hope that every golfer will join our ASAC league and play in our monthly scrambles, as well as
enjoying their excellent rates. Please see Golf prices on page 6, in this Journal for more details.
Our Annual General Meeting is on April 25 th , at 10:30 a.m. Come out and find out what your Advisory
Board has been planning for the future for your Centre. This is the day to find out about the work that is involved to
keep your Centre an active and viable place to keep us all Young! All the members on the Committees work hard
to keep the Centre running smoothly, and Staff are always here to help everyone so that they enjoy their leisure time,
to take classes that they find fulfilling to learn something that they find of interest! We have a booklet available for
everyone so that they can see the operations of the Centre and you might be interested in volunteering by working on
one of the Committees, who hold monthly meetings. Please sign up at the office, as we need a quorum for this meeting,
and we also have a lunch provided for everyone that attends, compliments of your Board of Directors, so we need
to know the numbers.
Check out some “New” trips on our Trip Board, as we do have trips going to China, and the price is spectacular.
See page 27 for more information. We also have some trips from Maxima Tours and Regency Tours so check out
the “Trip Section” on Page 17, and go somewhere exciting this year! 2012 will go by quickly enough and going new
places will enhance your knowledge of the world we live in, as well as enjoyment by meeting different people and
places. We will be having a trips presentation to Ireland by Collette Tours on Wed. Feb. 8th, 2012 @ 1:00pm.
Take advantage of some “NEW” classes, like Paper Tole and Mosaics. Nordic Walking, Hiking and Biking
will start again in April, so watch for signs at the Centre! You can also Dance, Exercise, Sing. or learn to play the Ukulele,
or on an electronic Musical Keyboard to keep everyone Happy and Healthy for the whole year! Check out our
Craft classes, Painting Classes, Music, or just come out for some social events like Pot Luck Lunch, Cards, Scrabble,
