ABC Seniors by Dianne Langille Members are reminded that June 28th will be our annual BBQ. This luncheon will finalize our regular meetings until after Labour Day. We resume again for dinner, Tues. Sept. 6th at noon. However, for those interested, euchre play will continue throughout July and August. The Euchre Tournament, May 5th, went very well. Nine players from Wilson Park and six Legion members joined our club to make this tournament a nice social event. A lovely lunch was prepared by Helen Parberry. Winners: Gold -- Frances Trotter and Eleanor White Silver -- Doug May and Horst Herbst Bronze -- Sonny and Eveleen McGillivray Medals will be presented to the winners on May 27th, 7 P.M., at Applewood Manor in Peterborough. Everyone welcome. The District Senior Games will be held in Brighton on June 6th. We are working on the preparation of raffle tickets for the Quilt for the Xmas Bazaar. Hopefully, they will be available by the end of June. Please participate by taking a book to buy or sell. The craft program is progressing well. Eileen Matthias teaches us the preparation and painting of folk art pieces. Marge Bullied and Namie Wilson have offered to show interested members the technique of quilting. A baby quilt has been set up for this purpose. The next craft day is June 2nd, 10 A.M. -1 P.M. We wish everyone a safe and fun filled summer. 90 Years Young - Happy Birthday Ilse by Zoe Armstrong
