Hearing Improvement<br />
The Hearing Improvement Committee<br />
of Guelph has the objective<br />
of helping fellow citizens with<br />
hearing loss by co-operating with<br />
and assisting professionals who<br />
deal with it; promoting hearing accessibility<br />
within our own community;<br />
holding regular information<br />
sessions to encourage greater understanding<br />
of the problem and<br />
what is available to help it.<br />
We meet the first Wednesday of<br />
each month from October through<br />
<strong>May</strong> from 2-3:30 pm in the Boardroom.<br />
We discuss problems affecting<br />
those with hearing loss and try<br />
to find solutions. Our meetings also<br />
have a social component. For further<br />
information, call Marianne at<br />
519-822-3946.<br />
Line Dancing<br />
Line dances are choreographed<br />
dances with a repeating series of<br />
steps that are performed in unison<br />
by a group of people in lines, rows<br />
or circles. One of the great things<br />
about line dancing is that no experience<br />
is necessary. Line dances are<br />
easy to learn, and as with any other<br />
style of dance, the more you do it,<br />
the better you will become. Instructors<br />
do a walk-through before each<br />
dance and then demonstrate and<br />
call the steps as the music<br />
plays. You don’t need a partner,<br />
just come have fun. We dance all<br />
year to a wide variety of music.<br />
Everyone welcome!<br />
Our classes are for beginner to improved<br />
(beginner plus):<br />
Mondays – 9:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.<br />
We teach basic steps at 9:15 a.m.<br />
Thursdays -1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.<br />
We teach basic steps at 12:45 p.m.<br />
Into Focus Photography Club<br />
A long time ago, some academics<br />
researched what people would<br />
change about themselves, if they<br />
could. Most commonly, it was their<br />
hair. People with curly wanted<br />
straight and the other way around.<br />
No one wished they were bald, but<br />
a lot of people are. Our April theme<br />
