Julie Conroy photo Just a reminder. Art class- es start again on Wednesday, February 7. Hopefully, the overhead mirror and wire- less mike will make it much easier for Maria to explain the different techniques needed to create water co- lour masterpieces The presentation on pro- tecting yourself from the Avian flu, SARS, stomach flu etc., was well received by everyone who attended. The speaker was Kurl Theil from the Stevens Co. He cleared up some miscon- ceptions and stressed that to catch Avian flu a person needs to be in direct contact with living poultry before it can mutate in humans and be contagious. You can safely eat cooked chicken, as long as it is prepared and cooked properly. (Different problem- food poisoning). The flu is highly con- tagious through droplets, coughing, and sneezing. The virus can survive on surfaces for several days. He stressed the fact that you cannot get the flu by having a flu shot. The best precautions are hygiene, e.g. washing hands, using a hand sanitizer, avoid shak- ing hands, hugging, and kissing, disinfect all surfac- es where germs may hide. If using public transport during an outbreak of flu you can wear a face mask, and carry a sanitizer with you. For more information you can check the web site: pandemic101.com or go-kit.com. They gave out free flu kits to all present, and will come back to give another presentation if there is enough interest. Upcoming information on events at the Centre: Tuesday, February 6 at 1:30p.m. Heather Eagleson R.N. a diabetes nurse edu- cator and Colette Sewell a diabetes education dietitian will give a diabetes infor- mation program. If you are diabetic, or care for someone who is, now is the time to get some additional information. Connectcare will be here on February 13 at 1:30p.m. Connectcare is a non profit service offered by our four local hospitals. They pro- vide services to enhance and support independent living in a persons own home if they need help with care, whether recovering from surgery, or a hospital stay. Everyone is welcome to listen to the speakers at any time. Arlene Bruce asks me to remind membership that the book club meets from 2-3:30 on the first Tues- day of the month. Each member reviews a book recently read. This often generates lively discussion ranging far beyond the book introduced. The book interests of the small group are wildly diverse which adds to the fun. She tells me this is a most satisfying and enlightening hour and a change of pace in their busy lives. If you love read- ing and/or discussions join them on February 6. All are welcome. Peggy was sick last week so Pat gave me the results of the carpet bowling which were: Nives Brown team beat Ivans Black team 18-11. If you are ever here on a Thursday afternoon you have probably seen Ruth busy knitting mitts when she is not playing cards. She tells me she has knit- ted almost 900 pairs of mitts, toques, or slippers for orphans in Siberia, and she also knits pneumonia vests for children in Africa. If you love to knit, or would like to provide her with the wool you have sitting at home waiting for you to finish that project, give her a call at 519-853-5124. The next social dinner planned is a Mardi Gras. It will feature Cajun food, and tickets are on sale now. The new February/March newsletter is now out, so please ask for yours when you pop in the Centre. It is very discouraging to find that although you have seen members at the Cen- tre they havent bothered to pick theirs up. A lot of work goes into them, and they have some interesting information in them, espe- cially the monthly calendar showing all the events hap- pening during the next two months. There is a trip planned to Canada Blooms at the To- ronto Convention Centre, the place to go. Tentative date is March 8 if there is enough interest. The Black Forest Inn in Conestoga is presenting A Tribute to the Women in Country Music. There will be a bus going on Wednesday, February 14 and the price will include a hot lunch. As usual the information is at the travel desk. Someone from the travel committee is there every Monday and Friday morning, but you can sign up any time. On a final note, the annual general meeting will be on Tuesday, February 27. We hope to see a good crowd on that day, as it is your Centre, and we need your support! After the general business there will be refreshments and entertainment. The 50/50 draw was not won again this week, so the draw next week should be about $300. Come on in and drop your loonie in the box. HELP WANTED HARE TODAY ...GONE TOMORROW!
