Drop-in Wednesday mornings for Chat and Coffee Time from 9:15 to 11:15 am at the Oakridge community centre main floor. Drop-in and meet others! During October, we met new arrivals, and eight people returned to continue the connection. We have guest speakers come in on Wednesdays at 11:00 am about every four to six weeks. Located on the second floor of the community centre. Presentation topics come from suggestions we receive. October 23, Karen Lee shared insights about life stories. Karen shared techniques to accumulate short memoirs of life experiences. Writing journals, revisiting photos, or recording memories sparked numerous questions and dialogue. Tuesdays at 10:00 am, we lead morning walks to explore the Reservoir pathway, Oakridge community, and a visit to Fish Creek Park. Our monthly calendar includes location details. Various outings have introduced us to various experiences in Calgary and nearby areas.
