During a busy and varied summer, in the Social Shed and on the patio, with rain and clouds, blue skies and heat, our seniors’ group continued to remain active and enjoy meeting with friends. As September unfolds, we anticipate a full house for the final days of summer and the beginning of harvest and then fall. We invite interested seniors 55+ from Mid-Sun and surrounding communities to join us for an afternoon of socializing, while playing cards and games.
September Activities
Weekly Cards and Games: Thursday, September 11, 18, and 25.
There will be no cards on Thursday, September 4 as we transition indoors at MSCC. Cards will resume on Thursday, September 11.
Please note we will return to two sessions. The first will be 10:00 am to 12:00 noon and the second from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. Snacks and beverages are offered. We encourage you to attend one of our lively game times in the Multi-Purpose Room at the Mid-Sun Community Centre. For those who may be hesitant about playing, we are excellent, patient and accepting teachers to those wishing to enjoy popular card games and meet other seniors. If you have a favourite game that you are willing to teach us, our members are always eager to learn. After an introductory “get-to-know us” visit, we ask that all players hold a Mid-Sun Community Association membership.
Pub Nite: Tuesday, September 23, 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
Our monthly gathering to visit and enjoy a meal at a local venue is always popular. To join us, please contact [email protected] for the location of this month’s gathering and details.
Food Bank: Each Thursday, Mid-Sun Seniors’ Group members support, if they wish to participate, the Calgary Veterans Food Bank with non-perishable donations or cash donations. We also gather pet related items, such as food, treats, towels, bedding, collars, leashes, and toys, to be donated to AARCS animal support. In June and July, our dedicated seniors have donated 67 items weighing 108 lbs, and a generous cash amount to the Veterans, as well as 25 pet items to AARCS.
We look forward to meeting you at one of our seniors’ activities during the fall. For information about the group or to join our e-mail list, please contact [email protected] or call the MSCC at 403-254-8058.
