Are you among the people who shrink imperceptibly when called a “senior” or when someone suggests you check out the programs offered by a society called S.K.Y – short for “Seniors Keeping Young” - the only organization on Bowen Island that caters specifically to seniors (anyone over the age of 55.)
Now approaching its 20th anniversary, S.K.Y. Members appreciate the continuing support of the Bowen Island Municipality, the Smooth Stones Foundation and some private donors. Without this financial support it would not be possible to offer our weekly programs: exercise sessions, a series of speakers on varied topics, monthly educational and entertaining 'adventure' trips off island. With this help, members' contributions can be kept reasonably affordable. Needless to say, the organization of these activities would not happen without the hard work of loyal member volunteers. In addition, S.K.Y. traditionally takes part in community events like Bowfest, Steamship Days, the Christmas Market & Raffle.
The upcoming AGM will be held on Monday, May 26. This will be the perfect opportunity to check out this fantastic organization. S.K.Y. is stretching its wings by exploring new partnerships in the community, as well as new programs and we are also hoping for new members to help make things happen.
Please join us on Monday 26th May 2014 at 10:30am, at Bowen Court (Elliot Hall), 1070 Miller Road. For further information call 604-947-0235. Renate Williams (President).
