Did you know that old math teachers never die?  They just lose some of their functions.

 

No Wednesday Walk March 27:  Our last-minute change for last week's walk turned out to be very enjoyable.  We did a circuit around and saw how fast and heard how loud Kennedy Creek was running.  No walk was planned this week because of the scheduled Owl Prowl in the evening of March 27, but this has been moved to April 3 because of rain forecasted.  So we won't have a walk either this week because of rain or next week if the Owl Prowl is on.

 

Thursday Morning Coffee & Conversation is on as usual in the Deep River Library at 10:00 am March 28.

 

The UOVSFC is ready to hit the dance floor once again.

· Saturday, April 27th

· 8 pm - 11 pm

· DR Legion with DJ Rick Schroeder spinning the tunes.

· $15pp, in advance, to 23uovsfc55@gmail.com or the SFC drop box.  Deadline to register/pay is April 20th.

· There will be no payments accepted at the door.

· Light late lunch will be provided

 

And --- in preparation for the dance:

Creative dance classes - Kristen Glowa will instruct a class for 4 Tuesdays at 10:30 am (note time corrected from the April calendar sent out) starting April 2 in the Deep River Library Program Room. This dance class is for everyone, couples and singles, so one does not need to worry about finding a partner. $15 (non-refundable) per person (covers all 4 classes). Space is limited, but we will keep a waiting list also.  Deadline to register and pay is Wednesday, March 27th by e-transfer to 23uovsfc55@gmail.com or in the SFC drop box in the Town Hall.

Get your moves ready for the upcoming UOVSFC April 27th dance!

These dance classes are made possible by the generosity of the Deep River & District Community Foundation.

 

SFC Pottery Workshop:   This two-session workshop on March 19 and 26 led by The Deep River Potters’ Guild  is full.

This programming is made possible by the generosity of the Deep River and District Community Foundation.  

 

"Owl Prowl" rescheduled to April 3

The sign up for the Owl Prowl is full, but we will keep a waiting list in case anyone drops out.  (Contact 23uovsfc55@gmail.com)  Due to the large turnout we ask that you make plans to carpool, or show up a bit early at the rendezvous to make arrangements.  The fewer the cars that we need to take the better.

 

We will meet in the ValuMart parking lot on Wednesday April 3 at 6:45 pm for a brief introduction to owl prowling and safety when travelling in a convoy.  Participants should dress for winter with warm coats, pants, gloves and footwear.  Standing around listening for owls can be cold!  A hot beverage and energy foods are also a good idea.

 

Recorders, cell phones, etc. are welcome.  Cameras are fine, but no flash please.  Flashlights are desirable, but participants are asked not to point them at an owl.  Our leaders will bring low intensity flashlights for pointing out any owls we might see.

 

Please do not bring dogs.  Quiet is important when listening for owls.

 

Canadian Tulip Festival Bus trip, Monday May 13 is now fully booked.  There is a waiting list in case of any cancellations;  for more information contact 23uovsfc55@gmail.com.

 

Want to help the UOVSFC?  Two directors of the Seniors Friendship Club have their terms of office expiring this June so we are looking for replacements for Treasurer and Activities Coordinator, both of which are vitally important.  If you are interested, there is time for the current directors to mentor you before they retire.
