Pleasant Times Social Club – For Adults of All Ages
“Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age. Sometimes, age just shows up all by itself.” – Tom Wilson
Monthly Lunches: We eased into summer at our June lunch, holding an indoor picnic of chicken shawarma, Greek salad, and ice cream sandwiches. We are hoping that the weather and wildfires co-operate to allow us to enjoy outdoor picnics in July and August, playing bocce and horseshoes.
After lunch, Shahab Alizadeh of The University of Calgary told us about a new study on Novel Ways to Study Driving of Older Adults. The study involves two visits to the University and using a driving monitor device in your vehicle for eight weeks. The goal is to test if a person’s driving habits can help recognize cognitive impairment onset or progress. If you know someone who is an active driver aged 65 or older and who might be interested in taking part in this project, contact [email protected] or call 587-973-3930.
Day Trips: Our July 16 outing to an evening Stage West performance of Legends of the 80s ($60) sold out but at time of writing we haven’t yet attended. The November 13 Rosebud Theatre trip to see Miracle on 34th Street is completely booked.
Spots are still available for the August 19 trip to Sundre to experience an Indigenous Medicine Walk and spend a bit of time exploring the town ($75) or just spend the whole day exploring Sundre and its Museum and World of Wildlife, shops, and restaurants ($30).
