ELDERS UPDATE
YO!
Yo Wiksas! As you all may have heard, read or saw, the Elder's have been quite busy & very active this month :D We started off by maintaining the building to only having what was necessary. We had an Elder's luncheon on Nov.14. There was also a luncheon the next day with Lucy Hemphill at the Elder's Center to inform everyone about the Good Food Box Program. I meet with our Elder's Council every Friday mornings. This is basically where I give them updates as to who, what, where & when. Causes or concerns are also brought to attention in our meetings. We have continued on with the Elders Day Program every Monday starting @ 9am with Breakfast. Lunch @ 12pm & ending time 3pm. Please Elders, come on out and have some fun! The Elder's had fun making Gingerbread houses last week. I took it upon myself to squeeze in a Food Safe course last week! This was a definite must with all the cooking & catering we, the Elder's, do. I have been meeting with surrounding staff members in the community to work together as one. We are doing everything possible to make the most of what is offered from each program for the Elders. I still have yet to touch base with a few more staff members, so if your one of them, please don't hesitate to call or email me :)

As the Elders Coordinator, it is my job to enforce the rules & regulations. A new one that has been brought up in several meetings & to the Elder's Council, is the age limit that is now 60 years of age. This was voted on & passed by the Elders themselves. So if you were born in 1953 or earlier, you will be hearing from me.... A LOT! :D PAGE 1
