Thank you to everyone in the community who contributed to the great success of our Christmas Raﬄe—to the
businesses that donated prizes and provided venues for
3cket sales (logos below); to the volunteers who sold
3ckets at these venues; and to everyone who bought
3ckets and sold them to friends and family. Also, thank you to our Board of Directors who organized dona3ons and sales venues.
Christmas Raffle
Thank You !
Proceeds of the raﬄe will help fund the Centre’s programs and services which
help keep seniors in our community healthy and ac3ve. Thank you all for your
generous support!
Congratula3ons to the lucky winner, Jennifer Anderson (recently re3red), of the
grand prize— travel voucher from Travel Best Bets plus one piece of luggage—
$600: courtesy of Prospera Credit Union, Canadian Western Bank ( W. Broadway), Claire Newell , and SGSC.
OSTEOFIT aims to provide safe and gentle exercises for individuals with
minimal previous exercise experience.
• Exercise can modify some fall risk factors and thus reduce falls in older
adults.
• A physically ac3ve lifestyle is associated with a reduced risk of osteoporo3c fracture.
The goals of OSTEOFIT are to:
• Reduce an individual’s risk of falls and fractures,
• Improve an individual’s ability to do day-to-day ac3vi3es,
• Increase an individual’s conﬁdence and independence,
• Improve an individual’s quality of life.
Happy February Birthday!

Appreciation from Holly Bazaar 2014
Beatrice D. and her team, Jeannie M.,
Patricia M., and Raymonde J. who
spent countless hours in the cramped
and dust-ﬁlled Chalmers Room, cleaning, sor3ng and pricing an enormous
quan3ty of items.
Alice A., Jane U., and Maureen M. who
spent months peering at jewellery
pieces with a magnifying glass in order
to determine their value, before
sor3ng, repairing, polishing and pricing
them.
Dolores O.L.S. who sorted through
thousands of books and
bargained with book dealers to sell
to them at the best prices.
Tealia F. and Teppei O. who never succumbed to frustra3on as they regularly braved the cold and rain to put up
posters in the neighbourhood which
were torn down almost as quickly as
they were put up.
Louise A., Sonia A., Medi T., Grace T.,
Liz B., Claudia W., and Peggy R. who,
aNer ﬁlling their homes with heavenly
smells of shortbread, brownies, buLer
tarts, lemon loaves to name a few,
refrained from devouring their baking
and instead, brought them to the Centre beau3fully packaged.
The members of the Mustard Seeds
Group who spent every Wednesday
aNernoon for a year, and more 3me at
home, kniOng the most beau3ful baby
sweaters, scarves, toques and other
woollies to sell.
Adriana T. who carved 3me out of her
busy schedule to manage the kitchen
and make delicious soups and sandwiches on bazaar day and set-up day.
Volunteers from Japanese agencies,
JP Canada and Jan-Links, who moved
furniture and boxes to and fro as they
set up the sales and lunch spaces and
cleaned up aNer the event. They also
ran around to do endless errands for
staﬀ and did much of the food prepara3on, service and cleanup.
To Steve M. and Dennis K. who oNen
fell prey to confusing roads and direc3ons as they went back and forth, picking up dona3ons from people’s homes
and bringing unsold goods to other organiza3ons.
To Sonia A. and Claudia W. who made
jars of delicious marmalade, blackberry
jam and apple buLer.
Harumi M. who stayed at the centre
late into the night on a couple of occasions to price piles of baking and sor3ng
through shopping bags.
Linda D., Kathleen F., and Sharon E.
who helped price piles of baking and
organized giN baskets.
To the 50 volunteers who helped setup, merchandise and decorate the day
before and the 80 who came to sell,
greet, serve lunch, check coats, wash
dishes, poster, count money, act as
security and clean-up on bazaar day.
To the community who walked/drove
over to bring us donated goods; helped
spread the word about the event to
their friends and neighbours; came to
the bazaar to buy items and enjoy lunch
and con3nue to be a huge support of
the Centre!
To anyone who had anything to do with
the bazaar! This incredible accomplishment is shared by all of us as we came
together and proved yet again, how
amazing we are as a community. Thank
you!
