It’s time to reach for the SKY PAM STIMPSON SENIORS KEEPING YOUNG
O
n Monday September 12, Seniors Keeping Young (SKY) will be commencing its fall season. This is the only seniors organization, run by seniors on Bowen Island, (55 years and up!) and has been well attended every Monday for many years. It begins with line dancing at 9 a.m., gentle exercises at 9:45 for 45 minutes, followed by an optional singsong and time to have refreshments and meet one another. From 11 a.m. to noon, there are many interesting speakers and presentations are made on a variety of top-
ics. These presentations are open to all ages and are advertised weekly in the calendar section of The Undercurrent. The speaker on September 12 is Dr. Andrea Kaufman on “Ageing Mindfully”. There is a drop-in fee of $2 to cover speakers and refreshments and an optional yearly $5 membership fee which allows a discount on the cost of outings which are arranged throughout the year. Last year we saw the Christmas lights at the Van Dusen Gardens, visited the Railway Museum, the Brittania Mining Museum, and the Museum of Anthropolgy at U.B.C. More interesting trips are planned for the coming year.
BI GARDEN CLUB
T
he Garden Club invites all Islanders to their last open garden of the year. The hosts are Betsy and Brian Hodgins of 228 David Road. The Hodgins bought the property in 1976 and, in retirement after 2001, made the garden a special focus. This is waterfront property facing due east and therefore receiving the brunt of the wet winter South Easters. A cliff on the northern boundary provides protection from the Squamish winds and hosts the ground-clinging small but succulent native blackberry. A series MERCHANDISE FOR SALE
