Reception desk at 905-726-4767 between 9 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

anyone else other than his/her spouse. Participants in Town Programs are pre-registered once
they have successfully signed up for the Program.

each Monday.
WAIT LISTS: Wait lists will be available for all activities that are full. If
cancellation(s) occur, Reception will call the member(s) on the wait list to notify them of the
availability.
CANCELLATIONS: If you are unable to attend an activity for which you have
pre-registered, please ensure that you advise Reception as soon as possible. Because of the
restricted numbers, no-shows are unacceptable. If you are unable to attend but do not cancel
on 3 occasions, you will not be allowed to register for any activity for the next 2 week period.
MESSAGES: Registrations may not be made by voice mail. You may leave a message to have a
call back. You may also leave a message to cancel your activity participation.

Tips on a good call
Here are some ways to make the most of your SCWW calls.
LET THE FACILITATOR LEAD: To reduce confusion on the phone it is important to let the
facilitator or guest speaker guide the conversation or activity.
USE THE ME/NOT ME RULE: Remember to give everyone a chance to speak. This includes making
sure to not talk over or disrupt someone while they are speaking. and being mindful that every time
you comment on something, it might not be giving space for someone else, or allowing the
program to continue.
BE MINDFUL: Be mindful that everyone has a story, a background, and a different way of looking
at the world, and/or different communication styles.
REDUCE BACKGROUND NOISE: Plan to be in a location with reduced background noise. Turn off
anything that might make noise (television, radios, or pets.) Be aware that the facilitator may mute
your line if there is too much background noise.

Page 12 Aurora Seniors’ Centre Newsletter December 2020Knotty Knitters
A warm welcome back to the Knotty Knitters and to any new knitters and crotchetiers who would like
to join us on Monday mornings throughout the year, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. in the lounge, until such time as
when the Centre will be fully opened once more to regular activities. Everyone will always be wel-
comed with a warm smile and a cheery hello.
You will have to bring your own knitting and crocheting at this time.
Please remember to wear your mask once you have entered the premises and should be worn until
you leave.
There are six spaces available and you must call the Centre to book your space. They are on a first
come basis. We look forward to seeing everyone even though it could take weeks.
The yarn cupboard will be opened once a month. We are still busy knitting and crocheting!! If you wish
to knit/crochet something for the Centre, please speak to Debbie or Irene. They will be quite willing to
help you.
Hopefully when we are back to normal once again we will be seeing some familiar faces and some
new ones
The colder weather is coming. Some beautiful blankets, hats, socks, mittens and coats for our best
Friends, as well as lovely layettes and sweaters have been done or are being made. If you would like to
see some of them you can see them in the glass display case at the left side of the front door as you
come in. You can still purchase any of the items you see there. Christmas presents!! Please speak to
our Receptionist.
I do hope some of the beautiful blankets and Afghans are ready to take with us on those long, brisk
walks. With the cooler weather they sure will come in handy for these long walks. I do know our mem-
bers are taking part in the SCWW. I have been talking to some of you and while taking part in the fun
and games calls etc., you have been keeping those hands busy!!
If you have a project that you are working on and run into a problem someone in the Knotty Knitters
Group would be only too happy to help out. We do not teach beginners. The Town runs a programme
for new knitters. Please enquire at the Reception Desk.
Well one good thing that came out of this Corona Virus is that we all probably did a bit more knitting,
crocheting, etc., Maybe even read a few more books?
If anyone is interested we have yarn available for knitting for the Centre. Please just ask us.
The smiles are always free and lasting friendships are formed. We share family happenings and jokes.
If you wish to join us, please do so. Hope to see you all soon.
REMEMBER WE ARE NOT STRANGERS, ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVE NOT YET MET!!
