Family Picnic at the Seniors' Centre Judy, our chairperson of special events, takes this opportunity to thank all her volunteers for their help on Sunday, June 22 at our picnic and fun fair: We would not be able to offer these special events to the ASA (Aurora Seniors' Association) members and the public if it were not for our volunteers giving up their time and effort. Again, thanks for all your help and I sincerely hope that we can count on you again in the future. Evergreen Choir Following an enjoyable and successful spring concert at the Aurora Seniors' Centre on May 24, the members of the Evergreen Choir, under the direction of Dr. Richard Heinzle, together with their accompanist, Hadara Jacoby, are not yet ready to get out the sunscreen lotion and to head for the cottage or beach. Since its inception nine years ago, it has been the practice of the choir members to visit seniors' residences and present a repetition of the spring repertoire. The choir was welcomed by residents at Hadley Grange on May 28 and, the following week, at Park Place Manor. Their last concert for this season was held Wednesday, June 18, at the Kingsway Arms. This was the choir's first visit to the Kingsway Arms, so there was a certain excitement with the idea of meeting new people and singing for them. The Evergreen Choir resumes its weekly Wednesday practices at the beginning of September, and the members look forward to a busy and exciting 2014-2015 season. Black Tie Gala The Seniors' Centre Black Tie Gala chaired by Annette Gagne held on Friday, May 9, was a very successful and elegant event. Attendees had the time of their lives, they looked like stars. The evening was a blast, the guests danced the night away enjoying good food and good company. Fun was had by all. Thank you to Richmond Hill Retirement Residence for sponsoring in part this special event and also a thank you to Gerry and Sandra who donated a special gift prize on behalf of RBC Insurance Inc. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to a very special team, Sue and Teri for all their help, Don our photographer for capturing this special event, Bill Moore and his staff for the bar services and also for accommodating all special requests, it was greatly appreciated.
