Hold the Calendar! Did anyone else
just blink and miss January?
Well, well, well, if it isn't February already! Did January sprint away or hire an Olympic track coach? Is it just me,or is 2024 in fast-forward mode? Either way, I’m okay with it. Spring will be here before we know it, and that’s the real MVP of seasons.

Consider this newsletter as a friendly nudge from us - like a gentle tap on the shoulder, but in email form. We have new programs and events starting soon. More details can be found in this newsletter.

Oh, and brace yourself - we're unleashing another Power Core class with Vay on a Friday at 10:15am. You asked for it, and voila, consider it delivered - like an express pizza order, but with some extra ouchie-mcouchie on top! New class starts Friday February 9.

Wishing you all a Fabulous and Fantastic February!

"Bingo starting in February. First Wednesday of the month at 1pm. Members $3.00 Non Members $4. Cards are .50 cents each payable on the day. Refreshments included. Wednesday Feb 7 at 1 pm. Your lucky numbers are waiting."
The bingo registration was on a roller coaster ride through the tech turbulence zone, but we are happy to report that everything is A-OK-to dive into registration now.

Prepare for bingo like never before! Our special guest bingo callers are none other than yours truly and the extra ordinary DJ. Get ready for an afternoon of numbers, tunes and maybe a few questionable jokes -  bingo has never been this entertaining.

Gather your pals, neighbours, and maybe the person you met at the grocery store once. More players mean more winnings and who doesn't want to be surrounded by victorious laughter and maybe a few awkward victory dances?

Members may register with their Activenet account, or, can register at the front desk. Members $3.00 and non members $4.00. This gives you access to the program including tea/coffee and cookies. Bingo cards may be purchased on the day at the program for .50 each. No limits on the amount of cards that you wish to buy.
