Pleasant Times Social Club – For Adults of All Ages
I’m starting to think I’ll never be old enough to know better – Anonymous
Monthly Lunches: Our ever-popular December turkey dinner, catered by Calypso’s Taverna, is yet to come. Mount Pleasant pianist and singer, Serge Soucy, will be back to serenade us with Christmas carols and classic tunes. We can get some dancing in before lunch to work up an appetite and work off some of the delicious meal after lunch.
Our November lunch featured a return visit by Natasha, a Neurotrack representative. Neurotrack develops brain games that can help medical professionals identify people in the early stages of dementia. This allows treatment to begin sooner and possibly delay the onset of more severe symptoms. This was Natasha’s second visit after the helpful input our group gave when testing a new game in April. Testing sessions were held before and after our lunch of beef stew supplied by Leroy’s Catering. Natasha also gave an interesting and informative presentation on the different types of dementia and their frequency.
Day Trips: We just completed our sold-out November 28 trip to see Christmas On The Air at Rosebud Theatre. Those who joined had a great time as this play had it all: comedy, a love story, Christmas stories and songs, and even a chance for the audience to sing along to some well-known carols. The talented cast earned a much-deserved standing ovation for their fine singing and the many belly laughs we enjoyed. One of the young actors is an up and coming Albertan and UofC graduate we’re sure you’ll be hearing about in future: Mark Kazakov.
We’re now looking forward to our sold-out trip to the Airdrie Festival of Lights on December 13, including a visit by the CPKC Holiday Train. Our 2025 day trips are being planned currently. It’s never too late to submit your day trip ideas. A summer journey to Banff? Another great play or three at Stage West, Rosebud, or Jubilations? Maybe an overnight trip to the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre and Waterton Lake? A day in Diamond Valley (formerly Black Diamond and Turner Valley). What are your ideas? We want to go where you want to go!
