PHYLLIS GOODHEW RETIRES<br />
Another retiree retires - again. Phyllis Goodhew<br />
is stepping away from her role as Leader of the<br />
Bid Euchre Club so that another senior<br />
Evergreen member can have a leadership<br />
experience.<br />
Phyllis was a volunteer in Toronto for eight<br />
years at an Elders Facility where she prepared<br />
meals for Seniors. Then she was the leader of a<br />
Bid Euchre Club for eighteen years before<br />
moving to Guelph. Phyllis wanted to be closer<br />
to her daughter and, being new to the city, she<br />
joined the Evergreen Seniors Community<br />
Centre to meet and make friends.<br />
It seemed apropos that she be at the<br />
Evergreen, since the Greek meaning of her<br />
name means “green leaf”. Phyllis started the Bid<br />
Euchre Club two years ago with one table of<br />
four people playing the game. Today, the<br />
number has increased to six tables, i.e., 24<br />
seniors.<br />
Her friends describe her as “a fabulous<br />
friend”, “a fantastic lady”, and that “she would<br />
do anything for anyone”.<br />
