During our Open House Week from Monday, Sept. 12 to Friday, Sept. 16, there will be lots of programs for you to watch or participate in. There will be refreshments and prizes too. We are hoping to see some new faces. There is no fee or drop-in charges during this week, so bring a friend. At what age can you become a member and enjoy all this fun? You may join the seniors centre when you reach 55 +. But age is just a matter of attitude. I know some people who are in their eighties but seem to have the energy of a fifty-year-old and I know some fifty-year-olds that spend most of their time sitting whether it is hiking, exercising, taking an art class, creating crafts, or making those gray cells work by playing cards and bingo. You might wish to learn now to use a laptop and expand your knowledge on the computers or just have fun at the social events. If you have a few hours to spare we are always looking for volunteers either at the front desk, helping with lunches or bazaars or being on a committee, sharing new ideas for fundraising, programs etc. This is a great way to meet new people, especially if you have recently retired or moved to Acton or the surrounding area. Our membership runs from (The balance of 2011 plus $25 for the 2012 membership). The latest Halton Hills Community Activity and Service Guide is now at the Centre. If you didn't receive a copy, we have lots at the Centre. All the Try It programs for the Open House for both the Acton and Georgetown Centres are listed on page 34. *** Do you have a vision of what you would like to see included in our anticipated expansion of the Acton Seniors Centre? If you would like to sit on a Space Needs committee, or attend a meeting explaining the plans for the future expansion, please let Wendy or Michelle know. 17 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday, September 13, 2011 Legion Ladies Auxiliary to honour its own this weekend By JANET MALLOY Georgetown Legion Ladies Auxiliary Our general monthly meetings begin Thursday, September 15th at 8 p.m. It sure will be great seeing all you girls again.
