Gillette, assistant idirector of the Oshawa Recrea- tion Commission and finally call- ed a meeting of the interested people in the area. The success of the club is due to the fine co-operation Wood- view received from Mr. Gillette, as he was always there to help in any.capacity. While the idea originated with Woodview, with- out the assistance and guidance provided by Mr. Gillette, the club would have been hard pressed to survive, John H, Smith was elected as chairman to finish out the bal- ance of 1963, and due to the efforts of Mr. Smith and Mrs, Smith the club got off to a good start. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have had a great deal of experience with Senior Citizens' clubs in Oshawa and they put this ex- perience and a good deal of hard. work into their efforts to make the club a success. The club today has a member- ship role of more than 40 people Senior Citizens Organize Club ation and with the arrival of nicer weather a membership drive will be undertaken. While the club was originally formed for the members living in the Woodview area, friends of mem- bers living outside the Wood- view district have also been made, welcome at these meet- ings. Earl Brown, the well known square dance caller in Oshawa and surrounding districts has volunteered to conduct special game sessions to music, as well as the odd square for these people. Monthly meetings are being held by the program committee of Woodview and the seniors, in order to prepare a well rounded program that will appeal to the members. While Woodview is offering suggestions as to how they can increase their activities and plans, the decisions and pro- gram is entirely operated by the seniors themselves, Arrange- ments are being made to bring in special speakers and films and inter-club visits may be ar- ranged with clubs in the neigh- boring cities and towns, HOPE TO EXPAND Over all the club is fulfilling the aims of the Woodview Park Neighborhood Association in pro- viding recreation for all people in their district and it is hoped that when the club reaches a good successful standing, other neighborhood associations in Oshawa will form clubs in their district, in orders that these peo. ple will have a club in their Own areas, Any prospective members in the Woodview area are cordially invited to visit the Woodview Community Centre building corner of Cadillac and Beverly, on any Friday from 2 p.m. til 4.30 p.m, to take part in these activities and the lunches that ow. and once the nice weather ar-/5))) rives, they are sure that this figure will be doubled.
