Hi Folks,
Just a note to let you know we are now closed and will re-open on January 6, 2020.
All the best to everyone for the Holidays!

Hi Everyone!
We're doing some site maintenance and will have our "What's New" and "Notices" back up-to-date very shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Should you need the most current information, please email or phone the Centre and we will be happy to answer your questions!
Cheers!
We've added an "Upcoming Events" link to the top menu to make details of scheduled events more accessible. As occasions such as dinners or yard sales are planned, we'll announce them in "What's New" but also post the details on our Upcoming Events page so that you can refer to them easily as the event approaches.
We would like to update the memorial placques displayed in the hallway at Rural 60 Plus. If you do Calligraphy (or if you can suggest someone else who does), please contact the Centre by phone or email.
Quilting has wrapped up for the season with the completion of this year's quilt named "Northern Stars". Tickets are now available (Licence #800850) and the winning ticket will be drawn at our annual craft sale on November 16. To obtain your tickets or for members who are willing to help by selling a book or two, contact Sharon Corrigan at 475-4317. Quilting will resume on Wednesday, September 11.
A dozen members came out on Saturday, June 1, to help with our annual clean-up of the Rural 60 Plus Centre, both inside and out. Thanks to Diane Buchan, Sharon and Paul Corrigan, Susan and Lloyd Hanton, Bob and Susan MacMaster, Bob McCluskey, Carol Nesbitt, Annette O'Brien, Shirley Robillard, and Julie Turner for their hard work and for the delicious potluck lunch.
Our spring yard sale was a great success again this year, raising over $800 for the Centre. In addition to our own Rural 60+ tables, twelve other vendors rented tables, bringing a wide assortment of merchandise. A huge thank-you goes to the members who volunteered at the sale and to those who donated baking or other items.
Rural 60 Plus is proudly flying a new Canadian flag! Thanks to MP Don Rusnak for providing it and to Rural 60 member Jim Upton for picking it up and raising it for us.
At the AGM last Friday, the following members were elected to serve on the Board for the next 2 years: Lloyd Hanton, Bob MacMaster, Tina Guzzell, Merle Graham, and Gary MacDonald. Our thanks to all those who let their names stand for election. Thank you as well to Oscar Mattas for his 6 years of service as a Board member including time as President and as Treasurer, and for taking pictures at the meeting. (more…)
