Auxiliary News<br />
BY PEGGIE WARD<br />
Welcome to Summer, a<br />
beautiful season of the year.<br />
Let’s hope for several weeks<br />
of nice weather.<br />
I’m told that Linedance,<br />
Fitness Fun, all Card Games<br />
and Bingo will continue<br />
throughout the summer. I<br />
don’t know about Carpet<br />
Bowling So you will have<br />
to look at the calendar.<br />
The Auxiliary will continue<br />
to have “coffee meetings”<br />
for the summer and<br />
will get back to business in<br />
September.In the fall we will<br />
plan a Bazaar and Fashion<br />
Show.<br />
There are three or four<br />
Wedding Receptions being<br />
held at the Centre in the<br />
month of <strong>July</strong>. Congratulations<br />
to the Happy<br />
Couples.<br />
June 21st saw us hold our<br />
last Saturday morning breakfast<br />
until September. Since<br />
we haven’t been able to find<br />
a volunteer cook for<br />
Saturday mornings. It made<br />
a long day for Kelly, when<br />
she had another function on<br />
Saturday evening. We hope<br />
you will all understand and<br />
join us again in the fall.<br />
Thank you to the folks at<br />
Schoenings. I was so happy<br />
to see your time and temperature<br />
sign fixed. Really<br />
missed it! ( I’m one of<br />
those people who still like to<br />
see the temperature in<br />
Farenheit.)<br />
A Giant Crib Tournament<br />
will be held Sunday <strong>July</strong><br />
20th.<br />
I hope that you all had a<br />
Happy Canada Day.<br />
Hello to all shut ins and<br />
Happy Birthday to all thoses<br />
who have birthdays in <strong>July</strong>.<br />
See you all next month.<br />

JULY, 2003<br />
Letter to the Editor:<br />
The <strong>Senior</strong>s’ Carnival<br />
held on Wednesday, June 11<br />
at McArthur Island was a<br />
huge success with close to<br />
500 people in attendance.<br />
Thanks to the continued<br />
sponsorship from Thompson<br />
Valley Savings Credit Union,<br />
this community event has<br />
grown immensely over the<br />
last 10 years.<br />
In the past, staff at Parks<br />
& Recreation used Riverside<br />
Park Bandshell, Heritage<br />
House and Parkside Lounge<br />
as site locations. This year<br />
we decided to do something<br />
different. We actually asked<br />
people who worked with<br />
seniors, and even seniors<br />
themselves for ideas on what<br />
they would like to happen on<br />
their day. Hence the change<br />
in venue and program format.<br />
An event like this<br />
requires assistance from<br />
many people. Pastor Neil<br />
Mansell and his volunteers<br />
from the Feast helped with<br />
the games, the Old Time<br />
Fiddlers along with Roxanne<br />
Hall and Bonnie McLean<br />
provided entertainment, the<br />
Brocklehurst Lions served<br />
baked beans and barbequed<br />
burgers (complete with<br />
hand-chopped onions), Neil<br />
McDonald from Interior<br />
Display made sure his tents<br />
gave us extra protection, the<br />
organizing committee of<br />
Melody Formanski, Muriel<br />
Dupuis, Dana Levere, Mike<br />
Bittante, Lynn Murphy and<br />
Danielle Duperreault who<br />
turned great ideas into fun<br />
things to do, and last but not<br />
least, the grunt workers, Lisa<br />
Geary, Alexei Gavriel and<br />
Ben Foulger who set up<br />
tables and chairs, made popcorn,<br />
served ice cream cones<br />
(that was graciously donated<br />
from Blackwell Dairy), carried<br />
food and drink for the<br />
seniors and stayed right to<br />
the end cleaning up under the<br />
watchful eyes of all the<br />
crows.<br />
What would an event be<br />
if no one showed up The<br />
coverage of articles and pictures<br />
published in the<br />
Kamloops Daily News, the<br />
<strong>Senior</strong> <strong>Connector</strong> and<br />
Kamloops This Week made<br />
sure the word was out. It was<br />
most rewarding to see the<br />
happy smiles on so many<br />
faces. To all who make this<br />
community a great place to<br />
live, work and play thank<br />
you a million times!<br />

For the Record<br />
Last month’s feature on<br />
Al Trotter contained two factual<br />
errors. Al and Val<br />
Trotter were married in<br />
1950, not in 1948, as stated<br />
in the article. The “Horror<br />
March,” ending Trotter’s<br />
time in the prisoner-of- war<br />
camp, was not a Russian<br />
undertaking. The thousandmile<br />
march to a North Sea<br />
port was led by German soldiers.<br />
