Board Message - Cindy Stewart, President
President’s Message –June 2021
Another month has passed and we are again CLOSED due to Provincial Health
Orders! There isn’t too much to say other than we are all looking forward to re-
opening and bringing back all our activities.
We have the planters all assembled and ready to plant! Jonie and Carol are still
working hard and doing some more painting, working on the day to day operations
and other tasks as assigned. They have had to adjust their schedules many times to
be able to comply with the ever changing orders and I want to thank them for
everything they both do.
Although many of us are just tired and wondering if we will ever go back to “normal”
there are positives we can appreciate every day:
�� 2ⁿd doses of vaccines will be available to us soon
�� The weather is warm- enjoy the sunshine
�� Listen to all the songs of the birds
�� Gardens and flowers can be planted and nurtured

Activities that keep you moving. . . (When
we re-open)
Addicted to Dance - Carol Simonson
Will resume when Centre reopens to activities.
Sad news for us dancers - we have lost Kathy
Bowden as an instructor as they have sold their
home in Gimli and moved to Brandon. I sure
will miss her dance knowledge and will have
hard time teaching more complicated dances to
our group. Best of luck to you from all us line
dancers!
Let’s Go Dancing - Gail Hurak
We opened, then closed. The numbers were down,
then up.
Let’s take a summer break. It is time to enjoy, within
provincial protocols, the water and land, hobbies and
sports.
Therefore, we will start dancing in September and
hopefully, we can see all of you again. Our second
vaccines should be completed by then.
Hopefully, the NH 55+ club will be open in the
evening.

Activities Update
We completed six weeks of beginner watercolor sessions, about 1
½ hours each. The first was in the New Horizon building and the
other five were completed on Zoom.
We covered several important topics including the basics of colour
mixing, values, hues, textures, preserving whites, how to paint
clouds, rocks, water, and we ended with an enjoyable session on
special effects. Students painted in-class and were encouraged to
complete paintings on their own between sessions.
In the fall look for another offering of watercolor classes (Zoom
and/or in-person) this time covering “Intermediate” topics for more
advanced watercolor painting.
Thank you to all who participated in the first course!

Membership & Volunteers
If we could sell our
experiences for what they
cost us, we’d be
millionaires.
Don’t you hate it
when someone
answers their own
questions? I do.
It takes a lot of balls to
golf the way I do.

19We have assigned all the garden planter boxes to the
interested members. Now to fill with mud and get the gardens planted! Thanks
to everyone involved in the prep and creation of this garden area. We will keep
posting pictures as we progress with this project. The new ramp is coming soon
too!
Vera S will be calling interested helpers shortly to start helping with our grounds
and gardens around the Centre.
North East Renovations in
Progress. . . .
We have scraped the old
surface, installed geo-tec
underlay, and new gravel
spread and compacted.
A new deck has been built and
ready for new ramp installation.
Planter in place now and they
are being filled with garden
plants by our members.
20Bereavement Support
Losing a loved one is never easy - whether the loss was
anticipated or without warning, the pain is the same.
Sometimes it helps to talk to other people who are experiencing the same feelings and
challenges.
The bereavement session allows individuals or groups
to share their pain.
When you reach out for help, this is the first step of
healing.
For more information contact the New Horizons
Office to connect you with our Bereavement leader
