The pictures will be hanging in the Evergreen restaurant throughout <strong>February</strong>. In the old days, events like the Edinburgh Tattoo commonly demonstrated military skills and precision marching bands. Now they are usually thought of as body art and are often associated with body piercings. Tattoo parlours are almost as numerous as Tim Hortons drive-thrus. Keep an eye on the restaurant walls to see how our members interpreted the theme. Our theme for <strong>February</strong> is “monochrome.” This could be either black and white, sepia, or any other colour. The defining feature of a monochrome photo is to have different shades of only one colour. When you are in the restaurant next month, look for the ways our members approached this challenge. We are a friendly group of amateur photographers with equipment ranging from mobile phones and point and shoot cameras to fancy DSLR models. We share a common interest in photography as a hobby and we learn from each other. At last count we have 43 members. New members are always welcome. If you are interested in joining, contact Jean McClelland by e-mail: jeanmcclelland@rogers.com. Pickleball Success of a GWSA Evergreen activity is no more evident than the Pickleball Club. Coming up on the anniversary of just four years, the membership has grown to 157 members. That’s about 40 new members every year. Since its inception four years ago, there have been 203 people sign up and pay for a membership into the club. Unfortunately, there had to be a cap placed on our membership due to a consistent attendance of between 35-40 players each day. We are proud to say we are helping in the growth of the membership to the GWSA with more than half of the new members joining the GWSA for the first time. In the new year, there was a clinic in January and an in-house tournament will take place in the spring. A very informative video for this new sport will be released for the website in the near future. Shuffleboard Hi everyone. We hope you all had a good holiday and are glad to be back with us. Shuffleboard will continue on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1:30 pm until 3:00 pm. The fee is $10.00 from now until May 31 or $1.00 per visit. For June and August, the fee will be $1.00 per visit. We hope everyone will come and enjoy the day. Instruction is available. Silvertones The Silvertones Choir was formed over 37 years ago and now boasts over 50 members. The mixed group of seniors share the love of singing - songs old and new. They also love to entertain with their singing and to spread cheer. The choir reconvened after its Christmas break on Friday, January 5 and began working on a new repertoire of music for their winter/spring sing-outs in local seniors’ and retirement homes and residences. Songs include Waltzing Matilda, Ach Du Lieber Augustin, Mary Anne, Allouette, Cockles and Mussels, All Through the Night, Loch Lomond, Greensleeves, La Cucaracha, Hava Nagila, Shanandoah, Something to Sing About, Rain and Go With a Song in Your Heart.
