October Newsletter


Message from President Dot Muir

Hi All,


WOW, another month whizzed by! We have been signing up new members and getting activities started.


Spanish classes with Helene get underway on Friday, October 6th. Helene has told me she will be having conversations with the class in Spanish. This is a good way to learn I am told. Helene will use Jessie's Room from 10 to 11 on Fridays.


Our Eucher Tuesday and Scrabble Thursday have been a success. Euche starts at 11:30 in Jessie's Room on Tuesday mornings. The Scrabble start time is 1:00pm on Thursdays in the Dining Room.


We will be experimenting with the Indoor Lawn Bowling equipment that we received from Quadra seniors. The two green mats and 32 lop-sided bowls are in very good condition. We start on Thursday, October 4th, at 10am, in the Dance Room.


There is always more room for more members in each and every activity, so come on out and have some fun.


The five day opening has started slowly but is gradually building with more lunches being served every week on Mondays and Tuesdays. There are a few members and guests playing Bingo on Mondays but those who come are having a good time. .


We have crib boards on some dining room tables, something to do while you are chatting with your morning coffee.

President's Message, continued


Marcia and I visited City Hall to apply for a rental renewal. We asked for a 4-year renewal but because of a lot of changes being made in all the programming we may only get one year.


Thank you to you all for making our senior center THE place to go for good food and fun times.


Take care, Dot

Two Dishwashers Needed

As you probably know, our kitchen produces nutritious meals at a reasonable price for seniors every week day. The work in the kitchen is coordinated by Lorna Mathews who is supported by our paid cooks and many volunteers.


Each day our paid cook is assisted by a prep cook, a server, a cashier and a dishwasher. We have bakers who come in once a week to prepare home baked items.


We have two openings for 10:00am to 1:30pm dishwasher shifts on Mondays and Fridays. We also have a Dishwashers-On-Call list to provide occasional coverage on a one-time basis when available and if requested.


Each shift worked comes with a $6 voucher towards anything on the menu.

Training Is Provided


It's the best kind of training. It's hands on. And it's on the job.


You think you know about commercial dishwashing equipment? You'd be surprised at what there is to learn.


Male Dishwashing is Welcome


A Food Safe Certificate from Island Health is not required!


Female dishwashing is welcome too.


For more information please contact Lorna by way of the front desk.
