In Front - Michelle Back left - right: Tanya, Lisa, Laura To serve you better, our extended hours are: 9am - 8pm Tues to Fri. 9am - 3pm Saturday Closed Sunday & Monday I spend a very enjoyable Monday touring four differ- ent Seniors Centres in the Golden Horseshoe area, as part of the OACAO provin- cial conference in Oakville. Several of our board and staff members were also at the conference attending workshops. The first Centre toured was the Sir John Col- bourne Recreation Centre in Oakville, situated in a park-like setting. Second was the Burlington Seniors Cen- tre on New Street, recently expanded. After lunch we toured the Square One Se- niors Centre located in the basement of the Square One shopping Center, and last but not least, the Milton Seniors Activity Centre located in part of the old Halton Cen- tennial Manor. All different, and all offer- ing many diverse programs. It gave us all lots of food for thought as to how we could improve what we offer in our own Centres in the way of programs and services. While touring the Centres I noticed several people playing scrabble. Is any- one interested in a Scrabble Club? It could be on a Thurs- day morning or afternoon when the tables are all ready set up for cards. Sign the scrabble sheet if you are interested. The dart players are look- ing for players on a Monday morning now the golf season is coming to a close,. Just show up if you are inter- ested. We had an interesting speaker on Tuesday, Octo- ber 23 when John Murray shared his hobby on coin collecting and told some in- ????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????? ?????? teresting facts, starting with the history of money and the barter system, when you would exchange what you grew or made, for other items you required, a practice still going on in some countries. Later wealthy people placed their gold in warehouses for safety, and obtained a receipt which could be used to purchase items until 1694 with the birth of the Bank of England when they started printing currency notes. Prior to this people used gold coins which they shaved to make purchases. To stop this practice the bank started to serrate the edges of the gold coins. The name Pieces of Eight came from Spain where their gold coins were cut into pieces to purchase services and items. The practice of cutting coins in half was prevalent in the 17th and 18th century. An interesting fact: it actually costs almost one cent to produce one cent in Canada. In the States it actually costs more than one cent so shall probably see the disappearance of our cent soon. John also gave us a little history on the British Pound currency notes. He said peo- ple collect coins and money for many different reasons, by dates, by denominations, all one type of face value, sometimes with animal, or certain runs of numbers. So many different ways of start- ing an interesting hobby. We will all be looking in our wallets with a new ap- preciation now. There were 10 people car- pet bowling on Monday including one new player Siena Ancker. I know they will make her very welcome. Betty Blains Black team beat Shirley Crooks Brown team 13 9. We are trying to create a new image for our news- letter, and although it will still be Actons own with our Centres name on the front cover, we will share a title/banner name with Georgetown. To accomplish this we will have some ballot forms at the desk and at the Christmas dinner so you will all have the chance of some input. A group from Acton and Georgetown will review the suggestions, and come up with the most suitable that reflects what our two Centres are about. Put your thinking caps on! Its no good com- plaining if you dont give us some ideas. The latest newsletters should be at the Centre by the time you read this. There were no Mooners at the Thursday afternoon bid euchre, but it was nice to see May Hoare playing again What better way to spend a cold or rainy day than with a book. The book club meet on the last Thursday of each month. Interested, give Ger- ald Rennie a call. There was no 50/50 winner this week.
