Wine and Cheese Celebration
The Bonsor 55+ Wine and Cheese Party with live "Elvis" as entertainment was held on February 5, 2025.
"Elvis" brought down the house !! What a wonderful event - free wine, good food and fabulous music. Our members thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and we even had our wonderful sponsors from the Mulberry Parc residence join us. Our thanks to the staff for the great job they did in making the event an uplifting afternoon for our members.
Wednesday Social Line Dance Christmas Party 2024
Our 1st Christmas party was held on December 18, a total of 35 members attended. We also invited Louise Kowalenko, our board liaison, and Chelsea Pereira, the city staff liaison to join us.
We had great food and tasty desserts, everyone was happy and full. The exciting part was the door prizes draw, there were enough small prizes for everyone, a lot of them were donated by a generous member. Then the games, which were the highlights of the party, everyone had a blast in playing with us laughing so hard.
I would like to thank the 55+ Society and the 55+ Centre staff for their support. I would also like to thank all the volunteers who helped to make the party so enjoyable and successful.

Badminton Group October Report
October is a quiet and yet busy month. The Executives team is busy getting all the pieces together to host the Peter McConville Cup tournament on November 22, 2024. The tournament is using a team competition format. This adds another layer of organization work in making it happen.
There was no PBB training program in October. However, the PBB trainers provided free one on one badminton training to some Gap Days participants (see picture below).
We also had a fun "Orange & Black" dress day at the gym. Members never disappoint to have "More Fun and Better Badminton"!
Stay tuned for the exciting November PMC Team Tournament and all the fun happening at the post tournament tea party in the November report. Have a great month.
