Seniors on the Bow is beginning 2013 with the startup of activities which were recessed over the holidays.
A glance at the calendar, available at the Drop In Centre or online, will detail the beginning of familiar activities. Note: It is very important for you to sign up now for your favourites because the programs need a minimum of six registrants to happen. Line Dancing needs 10. To date most activities need more registrants. Please check times. Creative Writing has moved to Tuesday evenings, beginning Jan. 15 at 6 p.m.
Jola Muran will be available again for arts and crafts beginning Jan. 17 at 10:30 a.m. She will work with you on an activity of your choice. Bring your own supplies. Register now.
Many activities require only the drop in fee of $2 for guests and $1 for members. However some, like Zumba Gold, yoga, NIA fitness require a higher registration fee in order to pay the instructor. Check the cost when you register.
A highlight for January is the second session of Voice of the Pioneers on Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. Two old time pioneer ranchers, Brian Edge and David Copithorne, will speak on early ranching days in the Foothills. Photos will accompany their talks. A small cost of $5, $4 if you register by Jan. 28, will help to cover the cost of coffee and dessert tray. This will be a nostalgic evening for many and for others, new information on Cochrane area history.
The February highlight is a Big Band Valentine’s Dance complete with a 20 piece band. The dance takes place on Feb. 15 beginning at 7 p.m. This party is special so you are requested to dress appropriately — no jeans. Admission is $25 per person which covers band costs and snacks. A limit of 80 tickets are available. A cash bar will provide beer and wine. Register early.
