I HAVE MY FLAG OUT - DO YOU HAVE YOURS OUT?

ARLENE OGDEN LOOKS LIKE SHE NEEDS

 A BIGGER SHELF!

 

EVA MURDOCK (FRONT LEFT) WAS THE BIG WINNER AT FRIDAY NIGHT CROKINOLE.

SHE HAD 7 TWENTY POINTERS.

CROKINOLE WILL NOW CHANGE TO WEDNESDAY NIGHTS AS FRIDAYS ARE A PROBLEM FOR SOME.  NEXT NIGHT WILL BE WEDNESDAY JULY 24th at 7 pm.

 

It's been 4 years since Sue Padt visited us.  Sue is Lorraine Morris's daughter and works for the Town of Halton Hills as a Standard First Aid Instructor/Examiner and is a National Lifeguard Instructor/Examinator.

She gave all those in attendance a hands on experience in AED Training in case someone in our building needs help.

Many took the opportunity to try out the equipment.

Our AED is located on the ground floor near the Fireside Lounge if ever needed.

It's always good to review the procedure occasionally.  Below is a link that you can watch when convenient.

AED INSTRUCTIONS

Corrie Zylstra sends greetings from Norway.

This is what she said:

"Just crossed into the Arctic Circle, gale force winds, 18 foot waves.  Yesterday we were in the Geiranger fjord and rode to the top of a mountain."

Thanks for sharing your trip with us Corrie.  You won't need that jacket you're wearing when you get home.

Dear Gallery Residents,

Mark your calendars! Calling all Daddy O’s, Cool Cats, and Groovy Peeps who dig classic cars and everything retro. Bennett Village is excited to announce our annual summer 'Cruising for Care' classic car show fundraiser 2024, it’s going to be a gas!

Our much-anticipated event is on Saturday, July 13th 10am-2pm and hosted once again by Georgetown Market Place. This far-out event is supported by Street Classic Cruise, with retro music by HHOL Radio featuring oldies from FM 108 broadcasting live from the show!

Bring the family and mellow out with a complimentary BBQ provided, donations appreciated (while supplies last). Amazing classic rides, swinging music, raffles, silent auction, and 50/50.

Entry is free, and donations are welcomed.  All funds raised go to support our Bennett Centre long term care residents’ programs and much needed equipment. 

We thank you for your support and hope you can make the scene.

 It’s going to be outta sight!

THE CLOSE UP PICTURES SHOW SEED CLUSTERS.

 

SINCE POSTING I HAVE HAD FOUR RESPONSES - COTTONWOOD, POPLAR, EASTERN COTTONWOOD POPLAR AND WHITE POPLAR.

Ed Pearce has 11 Muskoka Wood Walking Sticks that he made to offer FREE to anyone interested. If anyone would like to have one please drop by Condo 910. There are only 11 walking sticks so it's a first come first serve basis.

A MESSAGE FROM BILL FRENCH

Just a thought to share with all my neighbours in The Gallery.

Since our recent arrival we have discovered our kitchen appliances are past their "best before date."

Since buying "in bulk" can save dollars, there may be neighbours looking for replacements.  Could we join together in our purchases?

Interested?  Contact Bill in Suite 803.

A FAMILIAR FACE

TOM COOK

THE GALLERY CROKINOLE PLAYERS THREW IN A BUCK OR TWO EXTRA THE LAST TWO TIMES WE MET TO PLAY.  WE COLLECTED JUST OVER $80 TO PURCHASE ANOTHER BOARD.  

THE OWNER LIVED NORTH OF LONDON AND I ASKED TOM IF HE WOULD MIND PICKING  UP THE BOARD (HE LIVES IN LONDON) AND DELIVER THE NEXT TIME HE IS IN TOWN TO VISIT HIS FAMILY.  

TOM SAID "I CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THAT".  I RECEIVED THE BOARD LAST WEEKEND AND TOM WOULD NOT ACCEPT A PENNY FOR IT.  

THIS GENEROSITY DESERVES TO BE RECOGNIZED.  THANK YOU TOM!!

NEXT CROKINOLE NIGHT - MAY 25.   

SIGN-UP WILL BE UP ON THE BULLETIN BOARD BY THURSDAY.

 

STANDING MIRROR - $50
