Editors Ruth Bertelmann and Albert Faucher
November – December 2011
PRESIDENT’S REPORT Word of mouth has it that our Thanksgiving
lunch was a great success. Our turkey
extravaganza was enjoyed by 110 people and we were honoured by
the presence of Mayor Jim Watson, two of his Councillors, Tim
Tierney and Rainer Bloess, as well as the provincial MPP Phil
McNeely and the federal MP Royal Galipeau.
Many thanks to our Head Cook, Denise Dunac, for working her
magic once again. Thanks to everyone who assisted her from
beginning to end with the food preparation including the carving of
the turkeys, cutting up the vegetables, setting the tables, serving
the
meal, taking the tables down, the cleaning up and the dishes –
Shirley Edmonds, Vera Finnigan, Donna Wilson, Roger Carrière, Lynn
Gervais, Diane Daka, Cécile Schryburt, André Gascon, Guy Bégin,
Albert Faucher, Betty & Jim Eadie, Donna Wilson, Lise Gaudaur,
Lise Malouin, Debbie Trickey, Jackie Lafontaine, Max Dunac and the
students from Lester B. Pearson. Your help as usual is always
appreciated. I apologize for any oversights if I did not mention
your name. I do hope you will continue to provide your comments or
suggestions for improving the Centre. The suggestion box (located
not far from the Front Desk) is checked weekly and I do a follow-up
with anything that is brought to my attention.
I invite you to check out the Centre‟s Website. Ralph Scribner
is our WebMaster and he recently updated it and revised some of the
photos. Looks great Ralph!
As we approach the festive season, I would like to remind you
that again this year the Centre will be participating in sponsoring
two families through the Shepherds of Good Hope. Our Angel Tree
along
with a list identifying either items for the food basket or
gifts for the families will be available before the end of
November. I hope we can count on you once again to help out those
in need.
While most of our members are seniors, we sometimes forget that
the younger people sometimes lend a hand to help at the Centre.
Matter of fact, just recently, we had the help of a young lad by
the name of Darcy Ryman (he is Betty Joanisse‟s grandson). Darcy
helped “roll straws” in preparation for the Bazaar and Tinsel Tea
coming up in November. Way to go Darcy!
You may recall last year we were able to offer uncooked frozen
tourtières from La Binerie at a cost of $6.00 each. As this was a
very successful program, we are pleased to offer it again this year
along with a few additional choices. Order forms and a sign-up
sheet will be available at the Front Desk in November. Orders must
be paid in full by Wednesday, December 7th. The delivery date is
scheduled for Tuesday, December 13th and all orders must be picked
up by 2:00 p.m. on the same day.
Looking ahead, many exciting events await us in 2012 including
Debbie‟s retirement party in March or April and the 25
th anniversary of our Centre next November. More details to
follow in
subsequent issues of the 2020.
Reminder to all members to keep track of any volunteer time that
you do on behalf of the Centre. There is a binder located at the
Front Desk where your time can be recorded. This information is
very valuable to the Centre. Debbie compiles this information into
a report that she provides to the Province every six months.
Reminder – The Centre will be closed for the Christmas holidays
between December 24th and January 2nd inclusive. Our next issue of
the 20/20 will be available on December 15 and will include a
listing of our activities and courses which will begin in January.
In the meantime, I hope every one has a very Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year. See you in 2012!

Executive Director Report
Thanksgiving Weekend was spectacular, what a great fall we have
had both with the weather and at the Centre. The Round-Up Pancake
Breakfast served up by the Board of Directors was well attended and
a good kick off for the season. All of our regular activities are
back, the quilters are sewing up a storm, the sand bag baseball
players are as fun filled and noisy as ever, the stamp club is
pouring over new acquisitions, the Songsters have had their initial
practices, and the list goes on. Lessons have started. The chair
yoga class was so large we had to create a second class. The
exercise classes are also booming. It is wonderful to see people
being active. Patrick McGarry
gave a very informative workshop on funeral pre-planning. There
are brochures available if you missed the session. Thanksgiving
Dinner was a true feast. Denise and her volunteers did an excellent
job, thank you to all. We had an unexpected guest when Mayor Jim
Watson joined us for dinner. Our local councillor Tim Tierney
invited him that morning; Tim is a great supporter of our Centre.
The Pfizer Health Promotion Tour is October 18; it is always a
first rate day with informative presentations and entertainment.
Many members of the Board have been working on the Older Adult
Centres Association of Ontario Conference, which we are hosting in
Ottawa, October 22-25. It has been more than a year of planning. We
are proud of the program and events we will be offering to members
of seniors centres from across Ontario. Our biggest fundraising
event of the year is our Tinsel Tea and Bazaar, Saturday, November
5, 10 am – 2 pm. We need lots of help to make it a success. The
Straw Draw is always our biggest moneymaker however it requires
lots of small new items. Re-gifting is quite permissible for this,
such as the candle or soap someone gave you last Christmas or the
lamp or serving tray you know you will never use. Of course white
elephant items, baking, sewing, crafts, knitting, books, jewellery,
sandwiches and sweets for the tearoom, small paintings and
preserves are also needed. For more details check the sign up
sheets at the Centre. Remembrance Day will be celebrated November
10 with our Thursday Dinner followed by our intergenerational
ceremony with the students from Lester B. Pearson High School.
Tickets are now available. For those that hate to shop at the mall
we will be hosting a Fifth Avenue Jewellery sale, Thursday,
November 17, 10 am – noon. It wouldn‟t be November without our St.
Andrew’s Day Lunch, November 24. Dig out your kilt and join our
resident Scots for a day of Scottish food and fun. Our Speakers
Series continues, December 1, 10 am, with Irene Bilinski of Keller
Williams talking about “Downsizing”. Christmas will be celebrated
in many ways. Two one-day trips: the first, the ever popular “A
Good Old Fashioned Christmas Party” to St. Eustache on December 1,
cost $90 payable to Ottawa Valley Tours and the second to Chateau
Montebello and Christmas Light Tour, December 16, cost $80 also
payable to Ottawa Valley Tours. December 15 is our traditional
Christmas Dinner of turkey with all the trimmings; tickets must be
purchased in advance. December 22 is the Christmas Lunch and Carol
Sing-Along. The carols get underway at 11:15 am and tourtière is
featured for lunch. Each year we sponsor two families and a senior
with our Angel Tree. The tree will be out in November with gift
items and food for a Christmas Dinner for our sponsored families.
The deliveries are traditionally made the week before Christmas. I
would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry
Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year.
„Til next time, Debbie

Lay a Wreath on December 4th
(Submitted by Bruce Kettles) Wreaths Across Canada has chosen to
place a wreath on the headstone of every veteran buried in the
National Military Cemetery, on the first Sunday of every December
starting December 4, 2011 at 1:30pm. It is our fervent hope that
this practice will spread across Canada and that eventually every
Military Cemetery will be adorned with wreaths, each and every
year. This simple but effective "thank you" is central to the
entire program. The wreaths symbolize our thanks to those who have
served their country in the military and now lie at rest. Whether
they died in battle, training accidents or years after retiring
from the military, all who lie buried in these hallowed grounds
deserve the thanks of a grateful nation for defending the freedoms
and lifestyle we enjoy today.It is our way to Remember and Honour
those who served and Teach our youth of
Canada, the value of freedom. It is a deeply personal way for
any Canadian to say "thank you for your service to Canada." For
more information or to volunuteer to lay a wreath or purchase one
