SUMMER AT ABBOTSFORD - OPEN AND AIR-CONDITIONED

BY GORDON HAUSER


lways something new here; this time it is the ART SMART CLUB where we hope you will share some creative time with an important young person in your life. Using the experience and enthusiasm of award-winning professional artist and teacher, JAYA KRISHNAN, you and your young friend (neighbour, grandchild) will spend two hours a week for four weeks exploring artistic creativity, using a variety of materials. Expressing yourselves in colour and line may open up communication with your young partner that may be instructive to both.

After class you will have lunch together in our dining room where the food suits all tastes. The children in this club must be at least seven years old and accompanied by a senior (55 and up). WHEN - Mondays, 10am-noon, July10 to July 31, COST - $50. All supplies and lunch included. Payment must be made by July 4. Questions? Phone 230-5730 between 9am and 4pm.

MINI BOOK SALE in the Abbotsford Lounge between 9am and 4pm, Tuesday June 20 to Thursday July 6 (excluding weekends of course). You have your own time to make your selection for your summertime reading and pay purely nominal prices for the ones you choose.

SUMMER DINNER & SHOW, Monday, August 14 from 5:30-8pm. Here is where you have to mark your calendar to plan ahead. This popular event features an elegant and sumptuous buffet dinner second to none in Ottawa for price and presentation.

Tantalizing dishes prepared by Glebe Centre Chef Pierre; after dinner entertainment by Sound Mekanix, a barbershop quartet for "major and minor tune ups"! You have the date and time above. Cost to members $15 and $17 for non-members. To reserve a seat, payment must be made at registration and because Chef Pierre must know numbers to create his magic for the table, deadline for reservations is August 4.

CHRIS ROGERS will instruct you in SUMMER AEROBICS on Wednesdays 10 to 11 am in the multi-purpose room, July 5 to July 26. Keep your heart healthy and your body fit with this low impact class developed for active seniors. Cost is $18 for members and $24 for non-members.

There are lots of other activities going on and you are invited to call in and visit 950 Bank Street or phone 230-5730. For instance, our INTERNET CLASS on Tuesdays. If you were ever going to learn about computers, this summer would be a great time to start. Volunteers from the National Capital Freenet share their knowledge in question and answer classes. Get your hands on a computer here and learn. Phone for details.
