January-February 2011

PRESIDENT‟S REPORT – JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2011

Heading into 2011, first and foremost, I would like to say HAPPY NEW

YEAR TO EVERYONE.

As I sat down to write this article for the January-February newsletter

recently, I could hear near me the Songsters rehearsing a number of

wonderful Christmas songs that were so familiar to me growing up.

Everything was just falling into place -- the Angel tree, the decorations,

and then sharing special moments with friends at both our Christmas

dinner and Christmas lunch. What a great way to get into the spirit of

the holidays!

This time of year, however, also brings both happiness for some and sadness for others. I cannot

end the year without remembering all the members we lost in 2010. Each one of them touched our

lives in their own special way and they will live on in our hearts.

I‟m excited to share with you our new social event starting in February – Tea Dances – These

afternoon dances, with live musical accompaniment, were a common cultural reference in early

20th

century. They were very popular prior to WW2, particularly in the resort towns along the

coast of England. Since then, and in particular in the United States, the term has been broadened

to refer to any casual afternoon dance event. This is an afternoon to be enjoyed by all, no matter

what your dancing ability and we hope you will join us for our very first “tea dance” in February.

Our thanks go to Diane Daka for this wonderful suggestion.

Thought I would let you know that we have just received a $15,000 provincial grant, a portion of

which will enable us to paint the Centre in the New Year. We will keep you posted on the

developments as we get closer to the date.

On that note, I do once again wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR. I look forward to

another fun, albeit busy year, both as a member and as President of the Board of Directors.

Executive Director’s Report

I feel like a Christmas whirling dervish, with the preparations here at the Centre and at home. It always

seems that we try to cram so many activities into such a short period of time.

November was a busy month at the Centre. We started with our Tinsel Tea and Bazaar, which was a great

success and raised over $5,000. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated items,baking and who

purchased items. It was a wonderful team effort. The bazaar cleanup was barely complete when preparations for

Remembrance Day started. It is a pleasure to work with Tony Adams, the chaplain at Lester B. Pearson High

School, to plan our ceremony. The staff and students of the school are always so supportive of our Centre and this

year was no exception. I think this year‟s program was one of our best. It paid tribute to the past and the present.

I would like to thank Roger Carrière, André Gascon and Ralph Scribner for their help from this end with the day‟s

events. Our next big event was St. Andrew‟s Day. Originally the brain child of Cecil and Bruce, this day has

grown in popularity and involves many people in its preparation. Thanks to Bruce for making the haggis, Cecil

and Clair Dewar for decorating and picking up the scotch pies in Maxville, and providing the entertainment. Our

Scottish Ladies and their friends created a wonderful buffet of desserts and baskets to raffle. Thank you Margaret,

Maggie, Betty, Janet, Claire, Lise and Marie. Thank you also to Donna Both, Claire Dewar, Betty Grant and

Royal Galipeau for donating prizes. The presentation on Scotland of the wonderful trip Fred and Ruth and Debbie

and Lynn took this summer was great. Thanks to them for sharing their trip and Ralph for producing the video.

A great day was had by all.

Christmas preparations are now underway and we are looking forward to our Christmas Dinner and Lunch.

The Angel Tree is set up and I know you will be generous to our sponsored families. The tourtière sales have gone

well and will save us all a little baking.

The Winter Program is now complete and I can promise you a busy winter. Our annual Seniors Info Fair is

scheduled for Wednesday, January 5 (9:30 am to 2 pm). We do not have a grant this year. However, AMICA at

Bearbrook is kindly sponsoring our lunch.

All of our courses will start the week of January 10th

. We welcome Becky Bowes back from maternity

leave to our yoga classes. I am excited to tell you about a new course that Jenny Anderson will be offering:

“Hooping”. Her description of basic hooping is to learn the hooping grooves and moves, while giving you a core

blasting, waist whittling cardio workout. It is done with larger, heavier hoops that are easy for adults to get

spinning. Apparently it is a great exercise to help beat osteoporosis. Other courses include oil/acrylic painting,

watercolour painting, tai chi and line dancing. On January 18th

, 9:30 am we will be hosting a workshop on

how to make Bed Mats for Haiti out of milk bags. You may have seen the article in the Citizen a few weeks ago

on this project. The Wednesday evening crib group is having a tournament on January 19th

. Everyone is

welcome. We will celebrate Valentine’s Day with a lunch on February 10th

. The Ladies of the Day barbershop

chorus will be our special guests. We continue to celebrate at our Valentine Tea Dance, February 11th

. I have

celebrated all of my big birthdays with you. For my 60th

birthday, I invite you to join me at our Thursday Dinner

February 17th

. My challenge to our members is to donate 600 cans of juice for the Breakfast Programs at our

local schools. That‟s less than one per member. I‟ll start the collection with a donation of 60 cans of juice; the rest

is up to you!

The Winter Program will be available mid-December and I encourage you to pick up a copy. As you can

see, we have plenty to keep you busy throughout the winter months. Our motto of “fun, friendship and activity” is

yours for the taking.

„Til next year,

Debbie

Book Club (Submitted by Rhéa Gravelle) This is a longer report of what we discussed at the book club at end of summer / beginning of fall because we missed the November/December publication of the 2020. September 14 – “Mrs. De Winter” Susan Hill captured the feeling of Daphne du Maurier‟s “Rebecca, which is a true Gothic novel. October 19 – “Footprints in the Sand” by Sarah Challis. It was a very well written book and fun to read. November 16 – “The Thirteenth Tale” by Diane Setterfield - We all liked the book. We had a good discussion. I had gotten a “book club” question/discussion sheet from the internet. And, one of the questions gave everyone a chance to talk about their own relationship with books. We had two new people at the meeting who had not read “The Thirteenth Tale”; but, who were able to join in the discussion concerning their own relationship with books. A few of us with limited space like books to read and then not keep them; but, most of the people around the table like to keep books and read again at other occasion. There is even almost an almost sensual “love” relationship with certain books: the feel, the smell and the look of certain favorite books. Another of our members had an eReader that she passed around for us to feel the weight of it (the batteries were low – so we couldn‟t take a look at the books in the eReader). An eReader will not completely replace books – but a thousand books in something that weighs less than one book…eh…if you have the money and know someone who had to get rid of “their” personal library because they had to downside to more in smaller digs…might be a good Christmas/Easter/Birthday gift. December 14 – “Silver Bells” by Luanne Rice. Jan 18, 2011 – “39 Steps” by John Buchan (Governor General 2 Nov 1935 – 11 Feb 1940) Feb 15 – “Galore” by Michael Crummey

THE SONGSTERS Many people ask who are the Songsters and how are they affiliated

with the Gloucester Senior Adults‟ Centre? We are a choir of about 30 singers who are devoted to give our time

and effort to sing at various retirement residences, hospitals and senior centres around the Ottawa area. We are a happy bunch of volunteers from the G.S.A.C. who really enjoy singing “Golden Oldies” tunes. We however, sing only Monday afternoons. We all enjoy the applause of our audiences and mostly to see the joy of happy faces as we sing to them. It is so rewarding!

Our program consists of approximately a dozen tunes of the “Golden Oldies” and a break with some hilarious jokes from one of our Songsters and we finish our program with a sing-along with books, which we provide. What a great way to spend an afternoon.

Albert Faucher Co-ordinator for the Gloucester Songsters

KITCHEN I am pleased to introduce the Kitchen TEAM -- the Cook and Volunteers that work so diligently

in the kitchen on a daily basis, for all of us. Every day, our Cook -- Denise Dunac -- assisted by the many volunteers, prepares soup, sandwiches, a hot meal, as well as the oh-so-tempting hard to resist desserts. On average, about 25 to 35 people stay for lunch on most days, and up to 150 for special events such as Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. And if you glance into the kitchen on most days, you just might see the TEAM fussing about making sure everything is ready on time. Many thanks!

Pictured, from left to right: Lynn Gervais, Vera Finnagan, Karren Allen (new), Jeannine Howe (guest), our cook Denise Dunac, Shirley Edmonds and Connie Wilson. Absent: Guy Bégin, Donna Clouthier, Debbie Cuerrier, and Audrey Brooks. Honourable mention also goes to the volunteers who occasionally help out with kitchen counter duties, when the need arises: Aurora Badea, Carol Anne Faucher, Minnie Hogan, Janet Levangie, Connie Wemyss, and myself, Jackie Lafontaine.

Rentals Looking for a place to hold your special event? We can provide a lounge, main hall and kitchen facilities at reasonable rates.

In Sympathy Yolande Coutu passed away October 24. She was a long-time member of the Centre and family and friends will miss her kindness. Shirley Holleron lost her battle with cancer on October 29. She was an accomplished artist and missed dearly by her fellow painters.

Bob Osside, a past president of our Centre, passed away November 4. He and his wife Jean were dedicated volunteers at the Centre. Many of the events and practices they instigated remain today. Bob will be missed by the Friday “Crib Gang” and his many friends at the Centre. Joyce Lloyd passed away suddenly November 19. Our sincere sympathy to her husband Colin and her many bridge friends. Joyce was a long-time

member of the Centre whose presence will be truly missed. Norman Lalonde passed away at home late November. Norm was a fixture at the Centre and loved to play cards, 500, bridge, bid euchre and crib. For many years he did the 20/20 calendar. He will be missed by all.

Mike Kondracki passed away November 25 in hospital. Mike, a long-time member of the Centre, served on our board and was treasurer at one point. He was an avid bridge player and loved to travel. Our sincere sympathy to his family and friends. Our deepest sympathy to Katie McNamara and Joe Fagan on the death of their sister Isobel in late October.
