<\/strong>Walking Club at the Seniors\u2019 Centre<\/strong>
\nWe at the Aurora Seniors\u2019 Centre encourage you to stay active in the coming months. Walking is a very basic form of exercise and is good for you. I try and walk each day whether on the treadmill or an evening walk, and I have an average of 5,000 steps each day.
\nWalks are held on Wednesday mornings and are about an hour in length.
\nAll walks are on trails in and around Aurora.
\nThe terrain may 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 the Seniors\u2019 Centre and carpool to the starting location, if necessary.
\nNo pre-registration is required, just show up. We are always looking for eager members to walk, so come out and join us.
\nIf walking is not your preference, then you should consider enrolling in any one of the Fall 2014 Town-run programs for seniors. Registrations have started and you can view the different programs by going to our website as shown below, or in person, and pick up a copy of our August newsletter.
\nTrivia Challenge \u2013 Friday, September 12
\nWe invite you to a Trivia Challenge event. There will be four games played and each game will have a series of questions to challenge your knowledge. Each table forms one team and a team answer for each question will be required. Prizes for the winning tables and door prizes. Light refreshments and dessert will be served at intermission. Price $10 per person. Seating is limited.
\n Our Appreciation\u2026
\n\u2026 to Investors Group, Patrice Graham-Brown, Division Director and her Team for including the Aurora Seniors\u2019 Centre along with seven other different charitable organization with grants based on time commitment and the volunteering provided in 2013 by Patrice and her team.
\nThis grant was presented to us at the Town Park concert on Wednesday, August 13, 2014.<\/p>\n

Volunteers required!<\/strong>
\nAlmost everything in the Centre is run by volunteers. Without them lunch might be cancelled, the shop will be closed, library books everywhere, playing cards gone, you won\u2019t get expert help in the computer room, and so on. Our volunteers makes sure that you have everything you need to enjoy your time at the Centre.
\nMany of our members have been \u2013 and are \u2013 volunteers for many, many years and some of them now feel it\u2019s their time to sit back and enjoy. That\u2019s great as long as the Seniors\u2019 Centre can still have all the great activities, lunches and events that everyone expects, but without volunteers it won\u2019t happen. Our Seniors\u2019 Centre is the best because of the great people who use it and respect it and the volunteers who make it the best. We are very lucky to have this facility for our use and enjoyment. Please think about volunteering to help keep our Seniors\u2019 Centre special!
\nOur Food Services Committee needs a new Chairperson Volunteer. If you think you can help please speak to Charles, Ron or Karie at the Centre.
\n Friday Night Social Dances \u2013 September 5 and 19
\nFrom 8 \u2013 11 p.m., singles and non-members are always welcome. Members: $4.50, $5 for non-members. \u2013 Includes light refreshments. Cash bar available. <\/p>\n

Soap Operas<\/strong>
\nDo you watch soap operas? We are thinking of starting a soap opera club that would meet on Friday afternoons. Join others, watch together and talk about it. If you are interested sign up at our reception desk. Tell us which soap you watch. If there is enough interest we will let you know.<\/p>\n
