Seniors\u2019 Centre walks are held each Wednesday mornings and embark on trails in and around Aurora. The terrain might be hilly (as is much of Aurora) and participants should wear appropriate clothing and footwear. We meet each week at 9.30 a.m. at our Seniors\u2019 Centre and carpool to the starting location, if necessary. No pre-registration is required. We are always looking for eager members to walk with us.
\nIt is a great way to stay active and enjoy the fall colours.
\nLocations:
\nOctober 16: McKenzie Marsh trail, north from St. John\u2019s Sideroad
\nOctober 23: Sheppard\u2019s Bush, Oak Ridges Trail, south from Seniors\u2019 Centre

Let\u2019s Create<\/strong>
\nThis group of seniors meet weekly and create something useful out of nothing, Come see their handiwork at the Holiday Bazaar on November 9. Please come by and see our projects any Wednesday from 1 \u2013 3 p.m. This month, we are making Christmas cards. For more information, call Carol at our Seniors\u2019 Centre.<\/p>\n

Book Club<\/strong>
\nIf you like to read and discuss books, consider joining us. Our book club is looking for a few new members. We have five spaces available. We usually meet on the second and fourth Monday of the month at 1.30 p.m. However, this month, due to Thanksgiving Monday, our next meeting will be Friday, October 18 at 1.30 p.m. There will be a sign-up sheet available at our Seniors\u2019 Centre Reception.
\nOver the summer months we read The Human Factor by Graham Greene. The story is set during the cold war and the lead character, Maurice Castle, is a trusted British Secret Service agent. In order to protect his family he is forced to become a double agent and passes information to the Soviets. The effect on his family, his colleagues and his own divided loyalty combine to make an exciting spy story. <\/p>\n


\nHoliday Food Drive <\/strong>
\nFrom November 11 to December 11 we will collect food for the Aurora Food Pantry.
\nAll donations of non-perishable food will earn a star for our lobby Christmas Tree. We want to fill the tree with hundreds of stars to show our support to the Food Bank.<\/p>\n
