CENTRE RECENT UPDATES
Athabasca & District Seniors Society Newsletter September 12, 2025
The Board met on Tuesday this week. Much of the meeting was spent on issues related to renovating the Seniors Centre. Everyone who was involved in cleaning and refurbishing the Seniors Centre deserves a big thank you. Many individuals volunteered, but Bernice Hewko, Denis Mathieu, Mary Pringle, and Bonnie Rabin deserve special recognition for their dedication and hard work. Also, none of the renos would have been possible without Cammy Peden who wrote the grants for the kitchen island and the paint. We should be finished painting the building in its entirety by Wednesday, September 17. If you haven’t seen the facility since we reopened, why not come out to our Fall Supper on Thursday, September 25—have a look and enjoy a good meal. Our expenses for the period January–August exceeded our revenues by roughly $800. This is amazing since we didn’t hold a casino this fiscal year and the facility was closed for a month and thus no rental or activity fees were collected.
The bus trip to the Metis Crossing at Smoky Lake has been rescheduled to October 16. The trip in August was cancelled because the AC in the bus was broken and the temperature was forecast for 32 degrees. Line dancing will start this coming Wednesday, September 17, and restorative yoga will start on Thursday, September 18. See below for times.
Our next Pancake Breakfast will be September 30. Hope to see you there.
Last but not least, we are looking for someone to fill the position of Kitchen Coordinator. If interested, contact one of the Executive, listed below.
