…or so the proverb goes. S.K.Y. (Seniors Keeping Young), in partnership with the CARING CIRCLE, plan to prove that this proverb still holds. Both organizations have worked hard to get a “Soup-and-a Bun” lunch program underway for Bowen Islanders 55 years old of age and older.
Before you jump to conclusions when you read “bun”, you should know that this will be a specially baked delicacy, not your run-of-the-mill roll….
Mark your calendars for Monday September 22nd, 12:00 noon, bring your mate, partner/special friend or neighbour and come to Bowen Court Hall (1070 Miller Road) to enjoy the first “Soup-and-a-Bun” lunch, for a mere $5.00/person. You will probably meet old friends or make new ones.
Lunches are planned by a professional (and enthusiatic) chef, assisted by volunteer ‘kitchen staff’. If transportation is a problem, please let us know the week before and we shall try and help out. (see contacts, see below).
S.K.Y. weekly programs will begin on Monday, September 8th, at 9:30am, again at Bowen Court. Continuing the tradition of caring for both body and mind, members can join an exercise class, a yoga session tailored to mature adults, attend the speaker series and enjoy the week’s refreshments. Memberships cost $10 and a small donation ($2/pp) helps defray the meeting costs. S.K.Y. is grateful to have some funding from both the Bowen Island Municipality, as well as the Smooth Stones Foundation. It is planned to continue the popular monthly ‘adventure’ trips to various places of special interest. Donations are always welcome and tax receipts issued as requested.
Please check the Undercurrent and/or the Bowen Island Forum online, for specifics each week.
