Holiday Message from the Athol Recreation Committee to YOU!

From the banks of East Lake.
Happy Holiday wishes to all of you who have continued to support the Athol Recreation Committee by attending events and spreading the word about events to the rest of the community. The Committee will be continuing to offer events through 2017 including some of our favourites like the Scrabble and Ping Pong Tournaments pub nights and of course the Strawberry Social and a few other events yet to be announced.
The 2016 schedule of events was a big success as a result of people like you attending events and so we take this time to thank you. This year saw the start of the Taste That Improv Comedy Series which was very popular and we hope to continue with the series this year.
We are always on the lookout for new ideas for events and we are happy to work with other community groups, so if you or your group has an idea for an event\workshop get in touch with us.
I would also like to thank all our committee members who make my job so easy with their endless enthusiasm, support and encouragement. So thank you Janet, Shannon, Susan, Ramesh, Gavin, Ryan, Donna, Barb, Bonnie, Peter and Cathy.
All the best to you and yours for a healthy and happy 2017!
Glen Wallis
Note: Our next Meeting is January 4th 2017 at 7pm. All are welcome to attend.
Tis the season to take care of your body and mind!

A note from Carrie:
Students will learn to establish a rhythm using breath and movement while becoming aware of their bodies and creating stillness within their minds. Connecting with their inner messenger and learning how to nurture themselves.

Clothes Swap, a success!

Our Clothes Swap in November organized by Shannon with assistance by Bonnie and Susan, was a great success. So much so that we are planning a children’s clothes swap in the future.
All remaining clothing was donated to Alternatives for Women and other local charities.
