One of the things I love most about Fall is the colour of the 

leaves on the trees. I have to say, modestly of course, that I 

have one of the most beautiful trees in my front yard. The 

leaves go totally red! Once they start falling from the tree, my 

granddaughter and I would gather up some of them and put 

them in a large round bowl on my dining room table. One 

time there was a big bug on one leaf in the bowl and my 

granddaughter came running fast towards me yelling, 

“Gramma, the leaf had a baby?” 

(The unfortunate thing right now is that there are a bunch of 

ants circling the tree also thinking it is pretty beautiful) 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! 

It’s a wonderful time to take note of what we are thankful for. 

Sometimes, saying it out loud, writing it down or even just 

thinking it reminds us of the blessings we have. 

• I am thankful for the GWSA and the partnership with the 

City of Guelph. 

• I am thankful for the volunteers. 

• I am thankful for the people I have met. 

• I am thankful for the friends I have made. 

• I am thankful for the City staff. 

• I am thankful for the Sentinel staff. 

• I am thankful for our Welcome Desk. 

• I am thankful for the awesome display of quilts and 

knitting and creations AND I am thankful that I don’t 

have my wallet with me all the time or I would be broke. 

• I am thankful for the beautiful displays of photography 

and art that are hung in the halls towards our peaceful 

Library space.

• I am thankful for the Bistro and the food and coffee I have had. 

• I am thankful for my colleagues on the Board of Directors and those that look after our 

finances, grants and day-to-day support of our services. 

• I am thankful for all the people responsible for putting together and leading the great 

programming we have available. 

• I am thankful for those that attend our programs. 

• I am thankful for anyone I left out because I am so excited to be thankful! 

Thanksgiving is a time for fond memories. I would have loved to have brought my mom and 

dad here when they were alive. My dad would have found a venue to play his harmonica or 

form a group of Barbershoppers like he sang with up in North Bay, Ontario. My mom would 

have been the type to enjoy the card games – in her elder years, we must have played hundreds 

of games. However, she was also naturally artistic and could paint or draw. Unlike my parents, 

I have no artistic or singing talent! 

Your GWSA Board wishes you all a harvest of blessings, good health and good times. We 

continue to hope that you are active, involved, making friends and aging with dignity.

JOAN 

Joan has been a volunteer on the Trips, Travel and 

Tours Committee for about 6 years. As she has 

always had a passion for travel, joining this 

committee seemed a natural pursuit for her. Joan 

wanted to be proactive by sharing her interest in 

travel with others, encouraging people to try 

something new in their lives. She would like to 

reassure people who are nervous to travel alone that 

“they are always with others in a very supportive 

group. Approximately 1/3 of the people are on their 

own on most trips. Everything is taken care of and 

there are always two hosts on the bus whom a 

traveller can go to for assistance.” 

Research data states that travel has many health 

benefits for seniors. Travel can boost physical 

activity, but only as much as you desire. It can 

broaden your horizons and form new and exciting 

memories. Joan also adds that there are social 

benefits such as increasing engagement with other 

like-minded individuals and the possibility of making 

new friends. 

Joan continues to be inspired to volunteer on the 

Travel Committee as she enjoys the companionship 

of committee members. She has made new friends 

and so her social engagements have increased, 

The Sentinel - October 2023 — Vol. 48, No. 2 

resulting in an element of personal attachment in 

volunteering. She also enjoys planning and hosting 

the trips and gets great satisfaction from seeing 

others getting out and enjoying themselves. 

Volunteering “gets me out of the house and gives me 

something to look forward to in the future.” 

Joan was employed as a librarian for many years 

and this work enabled her to financially be able to 

travel to such destinations as Europe and Australia. 

She just recently returned from a vacation in 

Newfoundland. Besides travel, she enjoys reading, 

walking, dining out and movies at the Bookshelf 

Cinema, as well as her volunteer work at the Mission 

Thrift Store. 

Joan values her volunteer work at the Evergreen 

immensely and gets a lot of satisfaction from helping 

others to enjoy 

themselves. The GWSA 

appreciates the work 

that she and the other 

committee members do 

to make our lives more 

interesting and active 

through travel!

THANKSGIVING 

October brings us cool (and sometimes rainy) days 

as fall is in full swing. We do have the Thanksgiving 

weekend to look forward to! 

Here are some interesting facts about our 

Thanksgiving celebration. 

• The first Thanksgiving Day after Confederation 

was on April 15, 1872, to give thanks for the 

recovery of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward 

VII) from a serious illness. 

• From 1879 to 1920, Thanksgiving Day was 

celebrated annually in October or November, to 

celebrate “the blessings of an abundant harvest.” 

• From 1921 to 1930, Thanksgiving was combined 

with Armistice Day (now Remembrance Day), 

which was observed on the Monday of the week of 

November 11. 

• Thanksgiving has taken place on the second 

Monday in October since 1931, except for 1935, 

when that date conflicted with a general election. 

• Many traditional Thanksgiving foods -- such as 

turkey, squash and corn -- are native to the Americas, 

in keeping with the theme of celebrating the harvest. 

• While turkeys have nothing to do with the country 

Turkey, their name does -- settlers called the birds 

turkeys because of their similarity to a European 

bird, the African Helmeted Guinea Fowl, which was 

known as the turkey-cock since it was believed to 

have come to Europe via Turkey. 

• There are 80 cranberry farms in B.C. with many 

berries destined for the Thanksgiving table, and 

while it is doubtful cranberries were served at the 

first Thanksgiving meals, the indigenous people used 

them for cooking and dyeing and introduced them to 

the settlers. 

• While pumpkins are a staple of many Canadian 

Thanksgiving meals as well, they also originated 

with indigenous people and 

it is not known if they were 

present at the first 

Thanksgiving meals. 

However, there are recipes 

for pumpkin pie that date 

back to the 1650s.

GWSA Group & Activity Reports 

ALL Activity Groups require that you MUST have an up-to-date GWSA Membership to participate. 

Art in the Hall 

All of the art groups and artisans 

will have an opportunity to show 

off their wares and offer items for 

sale if they wish. A portion of the 

cost will go toward the GWSA, 

and staff at the cash will be familiar 

with how to process these payments 

and ensure artists receive 

their funds, again, if they wish to 

sell their creations. 

A contract will be sent out to all 

groups to review; it outlines how 

the shows will run. I intend to 

change the art monthly and to be 

present the second Monday of 

each month to put up a new show. 

Some shows will run longer and 

we may have special presentations. 

I plan on going through the list 

of groups alphabetically as presented 

in the Sentinel. Please start 

to think about the piece you would 

like to hang, present and showcase. 

Further information will be forwarded 

to all groups. 

Badminton 

The Badminton Club continues to 

be a thriving and popular club with 

a membership of 115, and numerous 

in-house and external activities 

taking place. 

There were a number of new 

members, so a Level 1 coaching 

clinic was held to help new members 

get back into the swing of the 

game. Level 1 reviews the basic 

skills of footwork, positioning and 

commonly used strokes such as the 

forehand and backhand. Since 

many new members have not 

played badminton in a number of 

years, reviewing basic skills is a 

great way to re-introduce members 

to the game and help them improve 

their skills. A level 2 clinic 

is being planned for later this fall. 

A few external social events 


were also held, including lawn 

bowling and an annual August potluck 

in the park. Both were big 

successes with CBC radio being 

present at the lawn bowling, where 

some of our members were interviewed. 

Spouses and other family 

members were invited to both 

those events, so it was a great way 

to meet members’ families. 

We are planning our annual 

Christmas lunch to be held in December. 

A food bank drive was 

successfully held last year so we 

are planning to hold it again. 

None of these things could take 

place without a committed leadership 

team and a number of members 

assisting with different aspects 

of the club helping to run the 

coaching sessions and tournaments, 

assisting with the social 

events, etc. However, like many 

clubs, trying to recruit members to 

fill leadership positions is a challenge. 

Overall, it has been a highly successful 

year to this point. Badminton 

at the GWSA continues to 

grow in popularity and our club 

continues to adapt to the needs of 

our members. Come check us out 

and maybe we’ll see you on the 

court! 

Book Club 1 

Our group meets in the Board 

Room on the last Friday of each 

month from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. 

For October, our selection is “The 

Diamond Eye” by Kate Quinn. In 

November, we will be reading 

“The Last High” by Daniel Kalla. 

Monthly fee is $3.00. At present, 

we have a waiting list. 

Bridge 

GWSA welcomes all Bridge players 

with a basic knowledge of the 

game to enjoy playing bridge in a 

friendly and comfortable environment. 

We offer both Recreational 

and Duplicate Bridge. No partner? 

No problem! We mix and mingle 

with a room full of eager players 

so that everyone has a partner for 

any of our regularly scheduled 

games. 

Bridge-Recreational 

Join us for recreational bridge in 

the afternoon or evening. 

Tuesdays 6:30-9:00 pm Evergreen 

Room 3 

Thursdays 12:30-3:30 pm Evergreen 

Room 3 

Bridge-Duplicate 

This group is for individuals who 

have already taken bridge lessons 

and would like to work on improving 

their game. Volunteers are on 

hand to coach you. 

We request you know the Bidding 

Basics. We will make you 

comfortable playing Duplicate 

Bridge with Duplicate Boards and 

using Bidding Boxes. 

Fridays 9:00-11:30 am, Evergreen 

Room 3. Bridge-Duplicate 

will be inactive from June to September. 

Bunka 

Bunka embroidery is created by 

using a unique combination of 

punch needle and special silk-like 

rayon thread. When completed, 

many pictures resemble delicately 

shaded paintings. In fact, the needle 

is held and operates in much 

the same manner as an artist’s 

brush or pencil. We do not teach 

classes or have an instructor, so 

you should have some experience 

in the craft, and members are required 

to purchase their own supplies. 

Every Wednesday from 9:15 

a.m. to noon in Room 3. Currently 



there is a wait list. 

See Bunkawithflair.com. 

Canasta 

Come out and join our friendly 

group for a game of Canasta. We 

welcome all levels of players. If 

you are new to the game, we will 

be glad to teach you. Join us on 

Fridays from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. in 

Room 3. For more information 

contact canastagwsa@gmail.com. 

Chess 

Do you enjoy the game of chess? 

Come out and make friends! Our 

club is open to players of all levels. 

We are primarily amateur 

players simply out for the joy of 

casual chess, although with 

enough interest, we could organize 

small tournaments. We meet on 

the second and fourth Friday of 

each month in the Evergreen 

Board Room from 10 a.m. to noon 

and we ask for $2 per person each 

time for the GWSA. And don’t 

worry if you don’t have a chess set 

— we have three sets as well as a 

digital clock for those interested in 

a time control! 


There are two mentors available 

every Monday from 1-3 p.m. to 

answer your questions. We can 

help with Windows PCs and Android 

smartphones and tablets. 

And now we are able to assist iPad 

and iPhone users! 

If you are using a laptop computer, 

please bring it with you. The 

fee is $3 for members of the 

GWSA and $5 for non-members. 

Please register at the front desk for 

each class before joining us in the 

Computer Room. 

Craft Group 

The ladies of the Craft Club are 

very busy making beautiful articles 

for our store. We continue to make 

hats, mitts and scarves to donate to 

the needy. We have had a few of 

the GWSA members also donating 

these items so we can reach as 

many as possible. We need wool 

donations of all types. Come see 

our NEW Treasure Chest, finally 

rebuilt. 

Guelph Wood Carving Club 

est. Circa 1986 

A well-established wood carving 

club of mostly seniors (both men 

and women) has operated in the 

Guelph area for decades. 

We do carving in the round, like 

cartoon characters, birds and wildlife, 

spoons, bowls, etc. 

Other carving techniques include 

relief carving, marquetry, and pyrography. 

Training is available. 

Meets Monday evening 6:00 pm- 

9:00 pm in Evergreen Room 2. 

Cribbage 

Come on out on a Tuesday afternoon 

for a friendly game of Cribbage 

in Room 3 of the Evergreen 

Centre. The room is open at 12:30 

pm and we start playing at 1:00 

pm. Everyone is welcome, and we 

play 8 games, with prizes at the 

end of the afternoon. If you are not 

sure how to play, we have instructors 

to help. 

Darts Club 

The sport of Darts is unique in 

several ways: the equipment is inexpensive, 

it only requires a small 

amount of space, and no special 

clothing is required. Age, gender, 

size or physical abilities have no 

bearing on the sport. It is open to 

all GWSA members. Darts is a 

game for everyone. No special 

skills or aptitude required. Just 

pick up the darts and throw them! 

Darts are available for loan if necessary, 

but you are welcome to 

bring your own. 

This is a great way to make new 

friends and really “Take Advantage 

of Your Seniority.” 

We meet on the Auditorium 

Stage Tuesdays and Fridays from 

10:00 am - 12:00 pm. 

Darts has an annual fee of $25 

and you must be a current member 

of GWSA. Register on RecEnroll. 

Line Dancing 

Evergreen Auditorium 

Phyllis (519-836-9415) 

Donna (519-831-0943) 

Line dancing is exercise not only 

for the body but the mind as 

well. It’s an excuse to get out, 

meet new friends, enjoy good music, 

and no partner is required. If 

you have never line danced before 

or need a refresher, the Introduction 

to Line Dancing is where to 

start. Here you will learn the basic 

steps and easier dances to slower 

music. The Line Dance Step Tutorial 

is an opportunity to learn and 

practise steps not taught in the Introduction 

to Line Dancing class 

and will help prepare you for the 

Beyond the Basics classes which 

are the next step up from the Introduction 

to Line Dancing. The Intermediate 

class is for experienced 

line dancers looking for a challenge.

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.

welcome ALL skill levels, beginner 

through advanced. We will 

provide you with all the information 

you will need to get started. 

If you would like to try the universally 

accessible and friendly instrument 

of the ukulele, please 

contact Eva Quan 519-820-1032. 

Silvertones 

The Silvertones members practise 

weekly in Room 3 on Fridays from 

2 to 3:30 p.m. We do have a few 

openings so please contact Doreen 

Muir @ 519-831-8323 if you 

would like to join our choir or 

would like more information. You 

do not have to be able to read music, 

just have a love for singing. 

Rug Hooking 

We have been gathering as a group 

of rug hookers at the Evergreen 

Centre since February 2022. Traditional 

rug hooking is both art and a 

craft. Many beautiful and unique 

items are made by pulling loops of 

fabric or yarn through a stiff, woven 

base such as burlap or linen. It 

is enjoyable, fun and a very social 

hobby. Beginners are welcome and 

we will help you get started. The 

Rug Hooking Group meets on 

Tuesday afternoon, 12-4, in Room 

2. 

Contact: Kathy McCallum, 226- 

821-1331. Email: 

kamccallum28@gmail.com. 

Skiing 

For the 2023 ski season, it costs 

$10.00 plus HST to join the Ski 

Club. You register and pay for the 

Downhill Ski Club at the front 

desk of the Evergreen Centre. It 

helps to own a 5-7 Pass purchased 

from Blue Mountain well before 

the start of the ski season. Every 

Monday, we carpool by meeting at 

the lower Evergreen Parking Lot 

by the Enabling Garden at 8:00 

am, drive to Blue Mountain, and 

return to Guelph by 6:00 pm. Contact 

Bob Shearer 519-831-4093 for 

Ski Club information. 

Evergreen Snooker Club 

The Evergreen Snooker Club is 

composed of a group of active, 

friendly players with skill levels 

covering the full spectrum from 

learner/beginner to accomplished 

player. If you are interested in 

learning the game, or have played 

in the past and want to get back 

into it, please drop by the Snooker 

Room. You will be assured a warm 

welcome and a place to try your 

hand at one of our three tables. 

The Snooker Room is open weekdays 

between 9:00 am and 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 $79.10 (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 24 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 & Fridays from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. 

Each player starts off with $650 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. 

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. 

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 on 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.

ROBERT MUNSCH EVENT AT THE ENABLING GARDEN ON AUGUST 19 

The Guelph Wellington Seniors Association is a proud sponsor of the ever popular Tea ‘n’ Tales held in

On Saturday, August 19, members of the GWSA Storytelling group, the Guelph Guild of Storytellers, Puppets 

‘n’ Paints, and Puppets Elora joined talents to present Robert Munsch’s famous story “The Paper Bag 

Princess”. Robert Munsch was pleased and proud to watch our puppet and storyteller rendition. 

In fact, Robert Munsch has given us permission to perform four more of his stories next summer! 

The puppeteer/facepainters are Andy Timmerman, Linda 

Smith, and Ellen Webb 

The storyteller is Sya van Geest. And of course, there is 

the one and only Robert, enjoying it all.

VISUAL ARTS 

Landscape Painting 

In this course, students will learn how to create artistic 

representations of natural environments such as 

mountains, forests, waters, fields, coastlines and sunsets. 

Landscape painting can be created using a variety of 

water-based medium: acrylic, watercolour and gouache. 

Although the realistic representation of the natural world 

will be the main approach, exploring landscape through 

illusion is not excluded. The course will cover all that is 

needed to create expressive and dynamic paintings: basic 

techniques, colour mixing, tonal values, elements of 

composition, effects of atmospheric perspective, the ways 

to simplify the shapes and forms, and effective editing of 

photographic references. Throughout the course, there 

will be plenty of short demos, usually at the beginning of 

the class. The course is intended for beginners and 

intermediates. Just bring your supplies, your passion for 

painting, and whatever experience you have and you will 

grow as an artist through expanding your observational 

and artistic skills.

OsteoFit 

Part of living well with osteoporosis and/or osteoarthritis 

29

involves healthy eating and physical activity. Physical 

activity plays an essential role in the treatment of 

osteoporosis by ‘stimulating’ or applying a load on our 

bones to maintain their structure and strength. When 

treating osteoarthritis, it is important to ensure proper 

alignment of joints as well. Exercise and physical activity 

play a vital role and contribute to individuals’ overall 

health and well-being. Four types of exercise are 

necessary in the management of osteoporosis and 

osteoarthritis: strength, posture, and core stability, 

balance, and weight bearing. Join us in this class to get 

moving, improve your strength, balance, and posture, 

and in turn, reduce your risk of falling.

“Twenty” by James Grippando 

by Diane Dyke 

If you like legal thrillers, you might like to check out James Grippando. He is a lawyer and an 

award-winning author of 29 novels. His most recent novel called “Twenty” takes place in Florida. 

Jack Swytech is a lawyer, married to FBI agent, Andie. Andie and their daughter Righley are 

caught up in a school shooting at the elite school Righley attends. Before the day is over, Andie’s 

friend’s son Xavier, confesses to the shooting. 

Jack did not want to become involved in this case. He would be defending a confessed killer. 

However, he eventually is ordered to represent the young man. But, to his surprise, Xavier refuses 

to talk. Even finding a witness does not help explain the events of that fateful day. To complicate 

things further, Xavier’s father is a Muslim. As you might suspect, racial tensions and fears of 

terrorism take hold in the community. 

Grippando also explores the fears and tensions that arise between people in the school and 

community when such a tragedy takes place. How do people respond when the safety of their 

children is threatened? 

Grippando expertly takes us through the investigation in an easy-to-follow manner. 

But, no one will be able to predict the surprise ending. Set aside some time once you start reading 

“Twenty.” You will not want to put it down.
