<strong>Centre</strong> Information 26


FROM THE RECREATION COORDINATOR - Wilma Groen<br />

Hello Everyone!<br />

November is just on the horizon, and we all need to keep active throughout the winter months. Hibernating<br />

is for bears, but we need to do exercises, and enjoy a Pot Luck Lunch, or event at the <strong>Centre</strong><br />

with friends so that we enjoy life to its fullest! We are having a Remembrance Day Program and<br />

Brunch at 10:15 a.m. on November 11 th , with the Fun Chorus. We are also having a trip presentation<br />

with Collette Tours on November 22 nd , so see if you want to travel when the weather is snowy here,<br />

and find a place to enjoy the sun. We are also doing a trip to China in March 2012, which I am sure<br />

you would enjoy. Flyers are available at the <strong>Centre</strong>, so come out and see the great price of this trip.<br />

We would like to do another presentation soon, so that you can see what is available on this trip. Insurance<br />

prices are also available at the <strong>Centre</strong>, so just ask Marlene Smith or staff for the rates they<br />

have for you. Another event that will be here on November 19 th , is the “Nashville Sound”, so come<br />

out and listen and dance to the music.<br />

December is a celebration month, as Christmas programs and parties are taking place at the <strong>Centre</strong>.<br />

Different classes have their own special day for a luncheon, and the <strong>Centre</strong> is having a Christmas<br />

Party on December 7 th at noon. Tickets will be $15.00 and I am sure that everyone will have a good<br />

time. A “Special Guest” will make his appearance early this year! Our evening party did not have<br />

enough people last year, so unless we sell out, we will probably have one daytime party this year.<br />

Make sure you book early, so that you will not be disappointed.<br />

We also have a Pot Luck Lunch on December 23 rd , and a sing-song, so come out and enjoy this time<br />

with everyone.<br />

In January come out and try something new, as we do have a “new” Mosaics Class, and the work<br />

they are doing, is awesome! Other classes are ready to have you come and enjoy friendship and fun as<br />

well! Do not feel bored over the winter months!! Exercise in a nice studio, is also alternative for getting<br />

rid of the “winter blues” as well as a spare tire if we stay fit with Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Dancing<br />

classes, and other fun ways to keep active!<br />

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a Healthy and Happy New Year! Staying young is a secret,<br />

and keeping busy is part of the secret, and the rest is up to each and everyone of us! Enjoy life, it<br />

is a gift that we have received, and we have the obligation to make it better for all who touch our<br />

lives. Hug someone, it makes everyone fell better!<br />

Till next time…..Wilma Groen<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 />

<strong>Ancaster</strong> Keeps Its Head Above Water!<br />

June was a spectacular month at the <strong>Ancaster</strong> <strong>Senior</strong> <strong>Achievement</strong> <strong>Centre</strong>!<br />

Aubrey Smith, a very active member of our <strong>Centre</strong>, has been in the ‘swim of<br />

things’ for many years, but 2011 was a special year. Twenty-eleven actually began<br />

back in August 2010 with a great swimming performance at the Canada 55+ Games<br />

held in Brockville, Ontario. The Canada 55+ Games are held every two years.<br />

These Games provide the silver and gold medal winners from the various Provincial<br />

games held across the country to compete against each other at a National level.<br />

And, it is a big event! In fact, over 3000 competitors from our nine provinces and<br />

two territories participated in 21 events scheduled in a five day period in Brockville.<br />

The Brockville Games were opened by the Games Torch Bearer Walter Gretsky, another area senior!<br />

And perhaps it was a good omen for Aubrey to have a ‘winner’ like Walter on hand. Aubrey won four medals<br />

in the 55+ age category against the top senior swimmers in the country. He finished with Gold Medal in<br />

the 100 meter Breaststroke; Silver Medals in the 50 meter Freestyle and the 50 meter Breaststroke; and, a<br />

Bronze in the 100 meter Freestyle. Smith also was a member of a ‘two man - two women’ medley race that<br />

outpaced the Yukon and Alberta teams. Not only did the medley performances lead to medals, but also enabled<br />

Ontario to win the swimming portion of the Canada Games. Clearly, Aubrey and his colleagues made<br />

waves in Brockville!<br />

Following his outstanding swimming performances in the Canada 55+ Games, Aubrey was invited to<br />

represent Canada at the prestigious International 55+ Summer Games held in Houston Texas last June. The<br />

55+ Games, although clearly focused on performance, are dedicated to encouraging older adults to not only<br />

compete at their highest possible level, but also pursue healthy lifestyles through participation in sports and<br />

personal fitness. The 55+ Summer Games, organized by the National <strong>Senior</strong> Games Association, have<br />

grown to become one of the largest multi-sport events in the world, and now draws athletes in a broad range<br />

of sports and activities from across the US, Europe and Canada,<br />

The Houston event was ‘no small potatoes!’ More than 10,000 women and men athletes competed in 18<br />

sports held in 14 different venues in the Houston area over the course of 15 days. One hundred and four of<br />

these athletes were from Canada participating in activities ranging from archery, badminton, basketball,<br />

bowling, cycling, golf, horseshoes, walking and racquetball to shuffleboard, softball, table tennis, tennis,<br />

track and field, triathlon and volleyball. Oh yes, and did we mention swimming!<br />

Well Aubrey did very well! He competed in four events, and despite a shoulder separation just prior to the<br />

Games, he trussed himself up, gritted his teeth, and managed a 14 th place finish. Well done Aubrey! We are<br />

delighted you were part of the 55+ Games in Houston, as well as the Canada Games in Brockville. And, we<br />

congratulate the 104 Canadians for their participation in the Houston Games and applaud them for returning<br />

home with more than twenty plus Medals. These seniors help us to focus our attention on the importance of<br />

fitness and the potential that lays dormant within many of us! Whether it is chair exercises, painting, golf or<br />

swimming, our challenge is to exploit our opportunities. Aubrey and his colleagues have demonstrated the<br />

possible each of us have to explore and develop. While Aubrey is getting ready now for Canada Games in<br />

Halifax in 2012, let’s all of us start tomorrow setting goals to improve our fitness and get on with it!<br />

Wow! It sure was a great June in <strong>Ancaster</strong>!<br />

ANCASTER FAIR 2011<br />

Many thanks to all our volunteers for<br />

promoting the <strong>Ancaster</strong> <strong>Senior</strong> <strong>Centre</strong><br />

@ the <strong>Ancaster</strong> Fairgrounds. Special<br />

thanks to the Golden Swing Band for<br />

sharing their musical talent with<br />

everyone.<br />

The ALBERTONES &<br />

TWENTY CHOIR<br />

Sang some wonderful songs and created an<br />

entertaining atmosphere at <strong>Ancaster</strong> <strong>Senior</strong>s<br />

<strong>Centre</strong>. A delicious luncheon was provided.<br />

Everyone appreciated the songs that they<br />

sang, as quite a few were familiar tunes that<br />

we all knew.


INFORMATION CHANGES: Please let us know if you’ve moved or changed your phone number, doctor, emergency<br />

contact, etc.<br />

FOOD SHARE: We have a box at the <strong>Centre</strong> for donations to the food share and we welcome all donations. Many thanks to all who<br />

donated. Our donations have been acknowledged, with thanks.<br />

SUGGESTION BOX: Just a reminder that the suggestion box is on the wall in the main hallway, and we are always<br />

open to suggestions.<br />

ALUMINUM TABS: We still collect aluminum tabs (from pop cans), which we pass on to the groups who collect the tabs.<br />

Our donations have already helped in purchasing several wheelchairs. 2½ million are needed for one wheelchair.<br />

BOUTIQUE: Remember we still have gifts of various types available in our boutique area now located in the Main Hall.<br />

REGISTER TAPES: We accept ZEHRS. Please separate your tapes into groups.<br />

We DO NOT COLLECT: Ron’s Food Basics, the Barn or Fortino’s. They do not participate in the Save-A-Tape program. If you<br />

include them it makes it more difficult for our volunteers who then have to check every tape.<br />

JOURNAL ADVERTISING:<br />

If you are interested in advertising in The Journal,<br />

please contact the office at 905-648-3466<br />

or e-mail Pamela at Pamela.Clark@hamilton.ca<br />

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 />
