Playing to a full house, this Monday's concert of romantic, evocative songs, performed by Susanna Braund, Doug Hillhouse and Doug Stepple set the pace for S.K.Y. activities in the weeks ahead. Where else can you have supervised exercises to begin your week, enjoy a coffee/tea break, followed by a speaker or other program, then wind down with Seniors Yoga? (A small contribution of $2.00 minimum helps offset meeting expenses.)
Behind the scenes, volunteer members of this 55-Plus group are busily preparing for the Legion Christmas Fair (November 23) where traditional S.K.Y. Christmas cake and other popular treats will be for sale.
Monday November 24 offers another "Soup-and-a-Bun" Luncheon. For a mere $5 per person, you can enjoy a bowl of delicious home-cooked soup, a bun and a small dessert with your coffee. This is an event held in partnership with Caring Circle, for all seniors living on Bowen.
On November 25, the first off-island trip will take members to a bistro lunch, followed by a visit to the Vancouver Museum's exhibition "From Rationing to Ravishing."
Look out for the sales table of raffle tickets for the Christmas Hamper on Saturday November 29, between 11:00am and 3:00pm, in front of the General Store. The Draw will follow that very day.
December will see the regular Monday programs plus a sing-along with BICS students (Dec 8); a Christmas pot-luck luncheon (Dec 15); and a trip to see the Christmas lights in town (Dec 16).
