Great News! We received our food handling permit, which had expired during lockdown, was re-issued in October. Several of our members have received their food handling certificate, so we were able to re-start our monthly lunch program in October. Thanks to all the members that responded to the last member survey. We have a number of interesting speakers lined up for afternoon coffee with friends’ events. Check out our website for more information.

All our classes were back in October with members returning to meet old and new friends. Members continue to hone their skills with on site activities like pickleball, billiards and card games with activities running every Monday and Thursday afternoon. Members also had a chance to re-energize their joints and muscles with exercise classes like chair yoga, yoga, functional fitness and Drums Alive. Our more artistic members got their creative juices flowing with art classes that we held in our new renovated multi-purpose room that beams with lots of natural light.

Trying to adjust or repair your denture yourself can easily cause irreparable and permanent damage and negatively affect how they fit. If you break your denture, if a tooth falls out, if you notice they’re cracked, or if they’re simply uncomfortable and you’re feeling like they need an adjustment, a professional denturist can help. Denturists will ensure that any repairs are completed properly, eliminating any problems that could occur if you try to fix your dentures yourself. Most adjustments can be made while you wait, and today’s modern technology means that many repairs can be completed within an hour.

Untreated hearing loss may result in long term consequences to healthy brain functioning. Past studies of shown that treated hearing loss by wearing hearing aids reduces the risk of cognitive decline associated with hearing loss. Dr. Frank Lin from Johns Hopkins University recommends treating hearing loss before “brain structural changes take place.” He states, “if you want to address hearing loss well, do it sooner rather than later.” If you haven’t had your hearing checked there is no better time than now.

Whatever your skill or your age, we can find a place for you. To find out how you can help, call 204-416-1067 or email us at [email protected].
