Acton Seniors to get rocking at next week's Rock-a-thon JULIE CONROY Acton Seniors Centre Lots of people managed to visit the Acton Seniors Centre during Open House week. Many people admired the new sign outside. Victor Bissonnette and Bryan Alder were instrumental in getting Lavern Blacklock to use his talents to create the new sign, as the old one was certainly showing some wear and tear after 10 years. Lavern helps instruct woodcarving at the Milton, Georgetown and Brampton seniors centres, and as you can see is very talented. He also make fishing roads, carving knives and rough blocks that carvers use during the classes. If you are looking for something very worthwhile to do for a couple of hours a week we desperately need members to cover the front desk either from 9 a.m. until noon or from noon until 4 p.m. If you are new in town, this is a great way to meet new people. Everyone is very friendly-- one of the bonus es of a small town. Our transportation list needs replenishing too, with people that are willing to drive people to the centre, or return them to their home after some activities. Alice Clark is the person who would love to hear from you, 519-853-3723, or simply leave a message at the front desk. There are still some people who haven't picked up their latest newsletter. They are at the front desk. If you can't find yours, someone will be happy to assist you. They are filed by street address, and then alphabetically by name. I was happy to see Ruth Burke in fine form after her slight mishap at Rama last week. She was busy playing bid euchre on Thursday afternoon. There were two mooners this week-- Bernie MacMillan and Edna Nellis. The winners on the last Rama trip were Stephanie Westaway (50/50), Ruth Burke (birthday prize), June Kalachi, Ed McFadden, Martha Couture, Hilda Battison, Joe Kricfalusi and Barb Hunter (lucky seats). The next Rama trip is Thursday (note that), Sept. 28. At the moment, it is a waiting list only. Make a note to come and cheer us on, or join us at the second annual Rock-a-thon starting on Friday, Sept. 29 at 9 a.m. ending at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30. If you would like to join us, or sponsor someone please get in touch with the centre. There are sponsor sheets at Sobeys in the front entrance and the centre. There will be prizes and entertainment will certainly put us `in the mood' as a local DJ has offered to provide music from the 1960s and `70s, which should help keep those chairs rocking during the wee small hours of the morning. Eileen Dix and Wendy Krever, our centre's co-ordinator have made arrangements with Staying Alive Fitness Centre to offer yoga classes to members at their facility. If you are interested please call Eileen or ask at the centre for more details. The 50/50 was not won the week of Sept. 11.
