Hello SCE Friends.

Kay Ayres and the Seniors' Centre for Excellence are hosting a workshop on July 9 in Mount Forest and you should come. This particular workshop was originally scheduled to happen earlier this year, but due to one of Mother Nature's tantrums, we had to cancel. The weather outside was rather frightful, to say the least.

But now we have grren grass and sunshine so all is well for venturing out.
It sure would be lovely if you would venture out and join us at the Mount Forest & District Sportsplex and come "Discover the Story Behind Varney's Favourite Local Gem—Pebbles Family Buffet."

And there might even be a little sweet treat for our guests, so you better come on out and savour the deliciousness of the presentation in more ways than one!
No registration required and no admission.

See you there (hopefully!)

Good Afternoon, Thoughtful Thursday Challenge Friends.

Goodness another rainy, overcast, and cool-ish day prevailed...good job we fancied and talked about a little R & R on a sunny, warm beach. Brought a little sunshine to your day, I hope. You did, mine!

Hang in there, we know it's coming. 🌞😎

Thanks for all your great responses.
Seems Timmies coffee wins, with a close McDonald's and a side order of Mom and Pop's!

Next week we'll make that grand prize draw for the $50 Petro Canada & $25 Tim Hortons Gift Cards, so don't forget to visit again next week for the final June challenge.

Do keep an eye here, this week, for updates, information, events, and more. And remember we don't mind one little bit if you share and like and love us!

Meanwhile, if you need another way to relax and have a giggle in the process, take a look at this little video of Funny Baby animals. It just makes me smile...

Some of life's most precious moments come from our pets when they'r...

You've been asking...

And now it is happening.
The Seniors' Centre for Excellence is happy to announce that TAI CHI is coming to Drayton.

Please join Certified Tai Chi Instructor, Nelda Rodillo, for a no-obligation, FREE introductory session on Tuesday, June 30 at the Drayton Legion 15 Elm Street.

Come see if this is for you and, if it is, find out how you can sign up for a full 6-week session.

Tai Chi is gentle on the joints and is an excellent way to improve balance, strengthen muscles in the legs, increase flexibility and stability, improve core strength, and it has also been shown to improve cognitive functions and memory. Quite a few reasons to come check it out, don't you think?

Hope to see you at the Legion on the 30th!

Greetings, Thoughtful Thursday Challenge Friends.

We are already mid way through June, can you believe it. And as of this weekend, it will be officially summer. Then watch those roads get busier and the fun in the sun moments increase.

Since we have two Gift Certificates for the Grand Prize Draw this month ( $50 Gift Certificate from Petro Canada and a $25 Gift Certificate from Tim Hortons), and since we have already spoken a little bit about gas and our travel plans, let's focus on those moments of rest. Some of us like to call them coffee breaks!

And speaking of coffee breaks, let's start the conversation:

1. Are you a coffee or tea drinker; what's you favourite? Or maybe you don't consume either.
2. When you go on vacation and you want to stop for a break, what is your go to place - a chain or maybe a mom and pops kind of restaurant? Why?
3. How would you describe your ideal rest? What would it look like? Take us there with your description.
**********************************************************************
And all you have to do to get your name on the Wheel of Names this week, is to make sure you "follow the rules!"
a. Respond to the questions above in the comments section below
b. Deadline to enter is 4 pm today (June 18)
c. One entry per week.
d. Draw will be made on Thursday, (June 25). That will be NEXT WEEK!
*****************************
It's just that easy. Your name will be entered on our Wheel of Names and you will have a chance to win these great Gift Certificates.

Grab a cup of steamy brew and let's chat.
Life Happens. Coffee helps!

Are you busy tomorrow morning?

If not, how about we meet at the Drayton United Church around 10:30 am and we'll fill up your cup and welcome you with open arms.

Nothing fancy.
Just a nice hearty brew and some sweet treats.
And of course, some great conversation.

P.S. It's our final Seniors' Centre for Excellence Coffee Hour for the summer. It sure would be lovely to have you join us for our last hurrah for now!

Well, we've got Good News and Bad News.

The Good News is for us at the Seniors' Centre for Excellence, because we have sold out seats for the Clifford Dining Program and we are bulging at the seams now.

The Bad News is for those who might have been waffling back and forth about should we/shouldn't we? So very sorry but we are now officially all booked up.

This promises to be a wonderful session of lunching, learning, and laughter with Seleda Fry speaking to us about Growing Up Mennonite.

Thanks friends, for your understanding.
