Deer Tick Warning I hate it when people give you bogus warnings... but this one is real, and it’s important.

But those dreams have remained and they’ve turned around. The learning curve! By Mark Moran, Publisher Thanks to readers like yourself and a great collection of local businesses, our first issue, released earlier this year, was a huge success. Now we all start to ask ourselves, and you, where we should be going next as far as the style of this magazine. We don’t wish to dive into politics or get tangled up in controversial issues, but I do wonder if Welcome To The Club can advocate for older people in Sarnia Lambton, inform you of changes that may affect your every day life, or just celebrate who we are and where we live. We were thrilled to see a number of readers take us up on our offer to contribute to this new magazine with articles, recipes, constructive comments and many replies to a questionnaire that was published in the first issue. Your thoughts are always welcome. I’m a phone call away and I answer the phone when I’m in the office. We’re hoping to cross paths with people in our community who are acutely aware of issues facing the older generations, have their finger on the pulse of what is important to them and the desire to use this magazine to get that message across. Quite frankly, I’ve started a senior’s magazine but don’t know a whole lot about what it is to be a senior. I’m 55 and will get there, God willing, but your advice is needed and is welcome. We are in the mood to learn from your experience. Seniors is a strange term. It’s a little too all-encompassing and has been the hardest part for us to wrap our heads around while publishing “The Club,” which is officially for those 55 and up, all the way up. That’s a big age group to define with one word. As you well know, there are young old people, and some old young people too. They’re not all seniors and most sure don’t want to be called that (Unless it comes with a discount, right?). Please keep us on our toes in this regard. Having published Daytripping Magazine for 26 years I am quite sure "We are safely open and ready to help your health” Book your Appointment t 519-339-8999 ext. 2 or Shop Online at www.tywc.ca Plan your Foot Cleanse, Aqua Massage, HRV Scan, Biofeedback, X’Tract Cleanse, or Low Level Light Therapy We are Excited to Serve You! 141 Mitton St. South, Sarnia that “The Club” will find a home in Lambton communities and a way into your hearts. Like the “Daytripper” this magazine offers an honest, feel good read, a bit of fun, and is something you’ll hopefully keep hanging around your house for a few weeks or even a few months. Hopefully you’ll pass it on to a friend instead of throwing it away. Many of the articles are from the Daytripping archives and we make a donation to charity for every one we reprint. Another thing that struck me while working on this is the bounty of incredibly talented photographers that we have locally. There are a few Facebook sites like “You Gotta Love Sarnia” and “Lambton County Photography” where photographers are showcasing their latest works and showing a lot of love and support for each other. We’re looking forward to having some of their striking photos on the covers of the magazine but might also incorporate more inside the paper. It’s a shame to have only four covers in a given year and to only show four out of the thousands of terrific pics. Check out the Milestones and Memories on page 32. This is a way for you, for free, to send us a picture of someone over 55 who has celebrated a milestone birthday or anniversary (ones that end in a 5 or a 0), a recent retirement, a significant award or some other achievement. Don’t be shy! Our next issue will come out at the start of July so we’ll need to have photos in by June 10th please. Lastly, please consider supporting our local advertisers and take note of their presence in this magazine — it wouldn’t exist without their advertising dollars and their confidence in us. If you know of a business that offers something to, or does a great job for those 55+ please mention “The Club” to them, as they may want to advertise. If you own a business that fits that description, our number is on this page. Thanks and take care, Mark Moran All COVID Guidelines are in place Welcome to ... Welcome to ...
