Staff will continue to wear masks for the time being, to make all participants and members feel comfortable at Bow Cliff. Although the mask mandates (both provincial and city-wide) have been repealed, we will respect each individual's decision to wear a mask or not inside the facility. We encourage everyone to choose for themselves what their comfort level is while attending activities, programs and events at Bow Cliff and we appreciate everyone's understanding, support, and respect for all other members. Again, if you are feeling ill, please stay home. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact John Yannitsos: john@bowcliffseniors.org. |
MONTHLY MESSAGE FROM our Executive Director.
Our Annual General Meeting is on Wednesday April 20th at 1pm. I hope many of our members can attend as we report on how we survived in the past year from the pandemic lockdowns and restrictions but also how much hope we have for our future. It has been a challenging two years. We have all suffered as individuals and communities, but we are looking forward to returning to normal and welcoming everyone back to our programs and events.
Thank you to our lunch bunch volunteers and everyone who supported our fundraising luncheon to support the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. We raised $2,300 from the luncheon and the funds were donated to the Red Cross. Thank you to George Mylonas of Landstar Development Corp. for sponsoring the costs to allow us to donate all the proceeds from the luncheon. The following week we had our very popular St. Patty’s Day Irish Stew luncheon where we served 100 meals. We really have an incredible group of lunch bunch volunteers!
We have joined 8 other seniors activity centres in an online fundraising 50/50 raffle where the proceeds will be shared equally to support our programming. The draw will be held on June 12th and the potential prize is $10,000. Please consider supporting our raffle at https://www.rafflebox.ca/raffle/bowcliffseniors or contact the office for more information.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support.
