Seniors Social Network
There was a good crowd at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Centre on June 5 to celebrate Seniors Week.
Our Seniors Social Network hosted our annual Spring Tea to honour our Aldergrove seniors. Although it was a cold and rainy afternoon it was much different inside the hall. The colorful tablecloths and flowers on all the tables created a beautiful, warm spring atmosphere.
Our entertainer, Greg Hampson put on an hour program, playing and singing many of our favourite songs. Many joined in the singing and several couples enjoyed dancing to the great music.
We would like to acknowledge and thank the following businesses for their generous donations: Save-On Foods, Safeway, Extra Foods and Otter Co-op. Thanks also to All Seasons Nursery of Aldergrove and Gibbs Nursery of Langley for their donation of plants, which were given away as door prizes. Last but not least a big thanks to all our members for donating all the delicious sandwiches. Refreshments also include vegetables and dip, fruit platters along with cheese and crackers and pickles and of course our strawberry shortcake and ice cream. It was a great day enjoyed by all.
We are already planning for next year, so watch the paper for the date during Seniors Week. Plan to be there and bring a friend.
We invite all seniors to come and join our Senior Network group. We have a short meeting once a month with a speaker or presentation and a social time with tea and coffee and cookies. Membership is only $15 a year.
Our craft club meets on Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Kinsmen Centre. We have been knitting square and making blankets, which we have donated to the Salvation Army, Ishtar Transition House and other groups, where they have been given to people in need. We sincerely thank all those who have donated yarn in the past. We always appreciate these donations to enable us to continue our project.
