Hearing Improvement

fellow citizens with hearing loss by co

who deal with it; promoting
hearing accessibility within our own
community; holding regular information
sessions to encourage greater
understanding of the problem and what
is available to help it.
We meet the first Wednesday of
each month from October through
May from 2-3:30 pm. We discuss
problems affecting those with hearing
loss and try to find solutions. Our
meetings also have a social component.

We teach basic steps 15 minutes before
each class.
Come dance with us and have fun

Into Focus Photography Club
The January theme for our club photographs
was Silhouettes. These are pictures
in which the foreground subject
forms a dark outline against a brighter
and lighter background. These can be
used to express a mood, or to create a
mystery. You can see how our members
tackled this theme when you go
into the Evergreen Restaurant this
month.
Our theme for February is Frames. A
window, a door, a fence, or just about
anything can frame the main subject of
the photograph and direct our eyes
straight to the thing the photographer
wants us to see.
To see the photos our members have
taken, see our photo-sharing website
at: https://intofocus.smugmug.com/.
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. New members are always
welcome. Our regular meetings are on
the last Monday of every month.
If you are interested in joining,
contact Jean McClelland by email:
jeanmcclelland@rogers.com.
Pickleball
Pickleball is a sport in which four
players use solid paddles made of
wood or composite materials to hit a
perforated polymer ball over a net. The
sport shares features of other racquet
sports: the dimensions and layout of a
badminton court and a net and rules
similar to tennis, with a few modifications.
This sport is for people of all ages
who are looking for some fun, laughter,
socialization and exercise. It’s easy
to learn, but can be challenging for
those with a competitive nature. All
levels of skill invited. Pickleball
equipment is provided.
Scrabble
Our Scrabble group meets Thursdays
from 1:00 to 3:45 pm at the tables in
the Evergreen Hallway near the Library.
Cost is $1.00 per visit. We play
relaxed but challenging games using
the Scrabble Dictionary 5 th Edition as
our reference. Skill levels range from
beginner to advanced. Come play at
whatever table you wish. Enjoy a
