Georgetown Seniors bid farewell to co-ordinator FLORENCE RIEHL Georgetown Seniors Centre It seems summer is here with a vengeance. Wouldn't it be great if we could just bottle up some of that heat and release it on some cold January or February day for those of us who don't go south? Did you catch that display of nature's force and power during the storm we had last week? I don't know how you could have missed it. Awesome! I just couldn't take my eyes off the constant lightning flashes. The claps of thunder made me think of the situation in the East and of our soldiers in Afghanistan. Yes. The rumours about Adriana, our Centre co-ordinator, are correct. Adriana suffered a tear in her right coronary artery, which resulted in a heart attack They inserted five stents and will continue to monitor her closely. She is one very lucky lady! As you can imagine a life experience of this magnitude causes one to reflect and re-evaluate. Adriana has, therefore, decided to resign from her position as co-ordinator with much regret. Adriana has been with us for 12 years and was instrumental in establishing Acton and Georgetown Senior Centres from the ground up. She is renowned for her commitment and dedication to serving seniors in our community and will be dearly missed. Please join with us in wishing Adriana a long and healthy retirement. Those women from the Centre, who are members of Figures Exercise Club, should be aware that Figures is closing its doors on July 29th. I, for one, am sorry to see this happen. We will need to find another place to exercise. Check out your various options in Georgetown. For the summer, the drop-in programs are still running at the Centre. It is lovely and cool and coffee is only $.50. The Centre remains open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. And will be closed Monday, August 7 for the Civic Holiday.
