Hello everyone, and happy Seniors' Week!

I hope you've been out enjoying the events in our community, all designed to say thank you for all you do for our community, and to let you know we treasure and value YOU! There's still much left on the agenda. Check it out here: https://www.strathmore.ca/living-here/family-community-support-services/programs-events/

 

Please remember BTG and ATB are hosting our free seniors' matinee today at Joyland Theatre (please see the poster, and please plan to get there at 12:30 to get a seat). We are showing 'Secondhand Lions' with Robert Duvall and Michael Caine, and it's a good one! 

 

There is also a free Acoustic Jam Showcase TONIGHT, Thursday, June 4, from 6 - 8 pm at More Bulgogi (in the Wheatland Country Inn). You can sing along, play along, or even request a favourite. This is also your opportunity to get together with friends and enjoy some delicious food.

 

BTG Seniors' Week Door Prizes -I also have THREE free passes to the walking track (10 visits on each pass) to give away. Because I can't do a proper draw, and because I need to know that recipients will actually use them, please email me here if you are a user of the track would like a pass. The first three to email will each receive a pass.  Good luck!
