Canasta<br />
Come out and join our friendly<br />
group for a game of Canasta. We<br />
welcome all levels of players. If<br />
you are new to the game, we will<br />
be glad to teach you. Join us on<br />
Fridays from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. in<br />
Room 3. For more information,<br />

Chess<br />
Do you enjoy the game of chess?<br />
Come out and make friends! Our<br />
club is open to players of all levels.<br />
We are primarily amateur<br />
players simply out for the joy of<br />
casual chess, although with<br />
enough interest, we could organize<br />
small tournaments. We meet on<br />
the second and fourth Friday of<br />
each month in the Hallway from<br />
10 a.m. to noon and we ask for $2<br />
per person each time for the<br />
GWSA. And don’t worry if you<br />
don’t have a chess set — we have<br />
three sets as well as a digital clock<br />
for those interested in a time control!<br />
Computer Mentoring<br />
There are two mentors available<br />
every Monday from 1-3 p.m. to<br />
answer your questions. We can<br />
help with Windows PCs and Android<br />
smartphones and tablets.<br />
And now we are able to assist iPad<br />
and iPhone users!<br />
If you are using a laptop computer,<br />
please bring it with you. The<br />
fee is $3 for members of the<br />
GWSA and $5 for non-members.<br />
Please register at the front desk for<br />
each class before joining us in the<br />
Computer Room.<br />
Craft Group<br />
The Craft group at the Evergreen<br />
would like to thank everyone who<br />
has supported us this past year.<br />
With the new gift shop, we were<br />
able to continue selling our crafts<br />
and help support the GWSA. And<br />
with all our knitters at home who<br />
generously give of their time and<br />
talents, we thank you. Again this<br />
year, we have been able to donate<br />
hats, scarfs and mitts to those in<br />
need.<br />
Guelph Wood Carving Club<br />
est. Circa 1986<br />
A well-established wood carving<br />
club of mostly seniors (both men<br />
and women) has operated in the<br />
Guelph area for decades.<br />
We do carving in the round, like<br />
cartoon characters, birds and wildlife,<br />
spoons, bowls, etc.<br />
Other carving techniques include<br />
relief carving, marquetry, and pyrography.<br />
Training is available.<br />
Meets Monday evening 6:00 pm-<br />
9:00 pm in Evergreen Room 2.<br />
Cribbage<br />
Come on out on a Tuesday afternoon<br />
for a friendly game of Cribbage<br />
in Room 3 of the Evergreen<br />
Centre. The room is open at 12:30<br />
pm and we start playing at 1:00<br />
pm. Everyone is welcome, and we<br />
play 8 games, with prizes at the<br />
end of the afternoon. If you are not<br />
sure how to play, we have instructors<br />
to help.<br />
Cross-country Ski Club<br />
The GWSA Cross-country Ski<br />
Club will ski both locally and at<br />
more distant locations, generally<br />
up to 1 hour driving time, sometimes<br />
more. We aim to ski on<br />
Tuesday mornings, however, given<br />
the variability of our local weather,<br />
this may vary and day and time of<br />
outings will depend on weather<br />
and snow conditions. Meeting<br />
times and places will be communicated<br />
to the membership via email<br />
ahead of time. Participants must be<br />
physically able to participate,<br />
bring their own equipment and<br />
have previous cross-country skiing<br />
experience. Each participant is responsible<br />
for the applicable day<br />
use fee payable to the ski area being<br />
visited.<br />

Line Dancing<br />
Evergreen Auditorium<br />
Phyllis (519-836-9415)<br />
Donna (519-831-0943)<br />
Line dancing is exercise not only<br />
for the body but the mind as<br />
well. It’s an excuse to get out,<br />
meet new friends, enjoy good music,<br />
and no partner is required. If<br />
you have never line danced before<br />
or need a refresher, the Introduction<br />
to Line Dancing is where to<br />
start. Here you will learn the basic<br />
steps and easier dances to slower<br />
music. The Line Dance Step Tutorial<br />
is an opportunity to learn and<br />
practise steps not taught in the Introduction<br />
to Line Dancing class<br />
and will help prepare you for the<br />
Beyond the Basics classes which<br />
are the next step up from the Introduction<br />
to Line Dancing. The In-<br />
