Hard to be- lieve they had just 12 lessons. If you want to join the guitar classes in the New Year drop into the Re- ception Desk and sign up. They say their instructor is really good. Membership renewals are go- ing well. Dec. 31 is the last day for the 2013 memberships. This is the year to fill in the sheet of informa- tion again. As I said before it is a bit of a bug but it is required. Over the Christmas break the Centre will be closing Dec. 24 at noon and will re-open all day on Monday, Dec. 30 and Tuesday, Dec. 31. We are closed on New Year's Day and re-open Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014. Keep those closures in mind if you plan on waiting until then to sign up for Active Living Pro- grams or renew your member- ship. Now that we have had our first significant snowfall for this winter season it is best to review closure procedures. If you are in doubt that the Centre is open, please phone first, 905-877-6444. There will be a phone message telling you the Centre is closed. New computer classes are be- ginning Thursday, Jan. 9 and run for six weeks to Feb. 13. Each class will zero in on a different topic so you can sign up for all six or pick those you want the most help with. Classes run from 9-11 a.m. and cost $5 per class for members and $8 for non-mem- bers. Bring your own laptop or use one from the Centre. Keep your eye on the Travel Desk for a new flyer. Only four weeks left to sign up for the Val- entine's trip. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my faithful read- ers. Hope it is your best ever!
