May greets us with outdoor weather, longer evenings, garden planning and planting, as well as the much-anticipated long weekend. During this month, Mid-Sun Seniors continue to offer an exciting social opportunity for area residents 55+. Our weekly Thursday card and games sessions frequently reach the room capacity of 36 in the afternoon time slot and numbers are increasing in the recently created morning time. Conversation is lively and the game play is enthusiastic. If you enjoy an accepting, fun-filled atmosphere, please join us. Morning spaces are available. No experience necessary, as we teach new games and play a variety of familiar games with no pressure. After an initial “check-us-out session”, participants will be required to hold a MSCA membership.
Each week, card playing seniors are proud to support a local food bank. In the month of March, 133 items, totalling 130 lbs. and a cash amount were donated to the Calgary Veterans Food Bank, our current recipient. Thank you seniors and thank you to the dedicated volunteer who manages and transports our contributions.
Throughout the year, we engage in a variety of activities, which may include potlucks, informative presentations, and outings. In April, an interactive workshop was presented to a small group about the topic of dementia. Other events are scheduled on a regular basis. If you enjoy dining in good company, our group gathers at a local restaurant or pub each month. We welcome area seniors to join us. If you prefer bingo, our last two games for the spring session will be in May and June.
