14 (Continued from page 13) 4:00 pm and any other time the Evergreen Centre may be open. The primary focus of the club is to have fun, build friendships and socialize. Your snooker skill level is irrelevant, so don’t feel intimidated if you are a beginner. Prospective members may visit the club room up to three times without charge to help with their decision on whether to join. While most of the current members are men, there is a small group of women who play regularly (typically on Tuesday mornings), so ladies, don’t be shy, give it a try. Membership is available to all paid-up members of the GWSA on payment of the prescribed annual snooker activity fee. The current fee of $70 (plus tax) buys you access to the Snooker Room any time it is open and to all the snooker you care to play. Texas Hold ’Em Why not come out and have fun with us? We are averaging about 16 players a week. We are situated in the Dining Room. We charge $2 per week and pretty well all of that goes back to the GWSA. We play Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Each player starts off with $500 in real casino chips, and, as we do not play for money, we work on a point system. The one with the most points each week is the winner. We play until there is only one player left or 8:30 pm comes, whichever is first. We will gladly teach anyone who is interested in playing. Just follow the laughter to find us. We welcome everyone who wants to play and enjoys company. We have quite a few ladies playing at present and would always welcome more. We do not want to become a men’s club! Remember, you have to be a member of the GWSA to play. The Sentinel - November 2022 — Vol. 47, No. 3 Watercolour Painters The Evergreen Watercolour Painters provides an opportunity for watercolour painters to practise their hobby along with others sharing the same interest, while encouraging one another and receiving information, ideas and inspiration. While we do not offer classes or lessons, we welcome accomplished watercolour painters. There is a small annual membership fee and membership with the GWSA is required. We meet in Room 2 from 12:30 to 4 p.m. on the 1st and 5th Wednesday of the month, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the third Wednesday. Woven Words “If you wait for inspiration before you write, you’re not a writer, you’re a waiter”- Dan Poynter Using the book “Your Story, Well Told” by Corey Rosen (available through Amazon) as a foundation, we will explore numerous aspects of storytelling through discussion examples and exercises. We will weave our own stories based on a technique we choose, share, rehearse, and finally present during the last class of each month. Using the Goldilocks approach, not too much, not too little, but just right, we will learn to water ‘n’ weed, as our project captures a blossom which truly represents the story we wish to share. The only suggested equipment is a journal to jot notes and ideas. Once we feel comfortable with traditional storytelling, we will discuss expansion to Storytelling Plus. This involves storytelling with props, draw and tell, feltboard, cut and tell, music, movement, puppets, etc. We are only limited by our imagination! Mondays 10-11 a.m. in Room 4. Writers Club If you enjoy the power of the pen, come join the Writers Club. We can toss around ideas and topics to get the creative juices flowing. Then let’s share the resulting written shape for constructive comments, while enjoying the company of others. Please feel welcome to join the journey. We will meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month in the Board Room, from 1- 3 p.m. There is a weekly fee of $2 for the GWSA. Contact Susan Jackson 519-265-3246.
