UOVSFC News for the week of Sept 1st

It took a while to get this checked over the weekend, but here's my message.

A statistician would maintain that lotteries are a tax on the statistically disabled.  But we had a winner in Deep River!

Renew membership or join: Seniors Friendship Club is gearing back up for the fall season.  First item is that you can renew your membership at the same price ($25) as last year.  New members will be welcomed.  Our membership "year" has 13 months, as it goes from 1 Sept 2025 to 30 Sept 2026.  The current one ends on 30 Sept 2025.  Our new membership officer, Lynn Hanson, will be at a table this Thursday Sept 4 at 6:30 pm at the Town's Registration Night at Mackenzie Community School where you can renew and pay in person.  As before, you can also put your fee (with identification) in the drop box in the Town Hall lobby, or (this is the way we prefer) send an e-transfer to 23uovsfc55@gmail.com.

Thursday morning Coffee and Conversation will be at the Hexagon restaurant (Deep River Shoreline Sports Club, formerly Yacht and Tennis Club) at 10 am, Sept. 4.

Another MAiD presentation:  We are pleased to advise that Julie Keon will be returning to Deep River on Tuesday, October 7, 10:00 am at the Deep River Library to continue the discussion on MAiD, this time focusing her talk on advanced requests and dementia. She is also making more time for questions, since her session last fall had to be cut short because of logistics with the room. Julie will be happy to address any questions you had from last year’s presentation, and we would be happy to forward those to her so that she can adequately prepare. These questions can be sent either to Candy Bishop at candacebbishop@hotmail.com, or to myself simply by hitting reply.  Please send your questions by Sept 12 so that Julie will have time to consolidate similar questions and prepare answers.

Painting with Elaine: We are in the planning stages for a couple of painting classes with Elaine Bisson. Send a message to 23uovsfc55@gmail.com to let us know of your interest in either a monthly watercolour class with each session having a "theme"; and/or a two-week class for the complete novice or a refresher for people who have taken the beginner class previously.

Wednesday Walks:  You will soon receive an email requesting your views on resuming walks in the woods locally or further afield so we can assess if there is enough interest.

If there are any sessions/activities you think we should continue in the fall, please email 23uovsfc55@gmail.com. We are always looking for activities that are of interest to the membership. "
