Kudos to everyone who participated in the Annual Senior Week in Airdrie, held from June 3 to June 9, 2024. Several different activities occurred throughout the City from Airdrie Over 50 Club, Abrio Lodge, Luxstone Senior Living, Cedarwood Station, Airdrie Care Community, Fletcher Village and T&C Hall by Volunteer Airdrie who also provided free transportation to help seniors attend the activities of their choice. Airdrie Over 50 Club held the “Bubbles” Acrylic Art Painting Class, the Polymer Clay Pens Art Project and a Connection Café. These were well attended and enjoyed by all.
The Planning Committee of 12 were represented from the above noted locations. Funding was received from local businesses, Big Country Sports, private sources as well as from the above noted sponsors. The events were well attended. In some cases, participants paid a small fee to enter and door prizes were available at events. Again we thank everyone for their support and hope to see you all at these events next year.
Thank you to the Airdrie Over 50 Board for thanking the volunteers by offering them a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, held at Cheryl’s Kitchen this past week. It was delicious, enjoyed by all and truly appreciated!
Without volunteers, the club would not exist, so thank you everyone!
