As we enter the hot days and evenings of August, seniors 55+ are invited to cool off with a glass of iced tea, lively chatter, and an invigorating game with the lively members of Mid-Sun Social Seniors’ Group.
While roof repairs continue at the Mid-Sun Community Centre, our group has been welcomed by the Lake Midnapore Residents Association to enjoy the Lake Room, which is fully accessible for those who experience mobility difficulties. We gather every Thursday afternoon at Lake Midnapore (185 Midlake Blvd SE) from 1:30 to 3:30 pm to play cards (Canasta, Crib, Euchre, etc.) and games (Joker’s Wild, Five Crowns, etc.) If you are unfamiliar with these games, we happily teach in an accepting, no-pressure atmosphere. We also invite you to teach us a new game, so that we are all learning and broadening our minds. Refreshments and snacks are provided. Small donations accepted. New participants must register by e-mail with their name and phone number to attend this weekly Thursday afternoon card event. Contact: [email protected].
We will continue to meet at Lake Midnapore until the roof repair is completed. You will be notified via email when we will resume playing cards at Mid-Sun Community Centre. If you wish to be added to our email list, please send your name to [email protected].
A huge thank you is extended to the Lake Midnapore Residents Association and staff for welcoming us to this temporary summer location. Thank you also to Mid-Sun Community Association staff for facilitating and supporting our activities.
In addition to Thursday afternoon activities, Mid-Sun Seniors gather one evening per month at a local pub or restaurant. August’s Pub Nite will be held at Austins in Canyon Meadows on Tuesday, August 20, 5:00 to approximately 7:00 pm, where a varied menu and specials are offered. Order to suit your taste as each person is responsible for their own bill. These nights are always enjoyable.
Other events such as seasonal celebrations, bingo, informative speakers, and community-based activities are planned and hosted throughout the year. For example, seniors will enjoy a pot-luck picnic at Lake Midnapore on Tuesday, August 6 with outdoor games (croquet, bocce, corn-hole, etc.) and delicious food.
If you are new to the community or to Mid-Sun Seniors and are interested in participating in any of these events and/or are seeking further information, please contact us at [email protected] or 403-827-8893.
