The 38The 38The 38The 38thththth Annual Bazaar a Great Success! Annual Bazaar a Great Success! Annual Bazaar a Great Success! Annual Bazaar a Great Success! By: Pat Goyeche

Our volunteers gave their time and the wonderful local merchants their unique goods and services. Scotiabank generously sponsored the event and provided a gang of enthusiastic employees who expertly counted and accounted for our profits.

Ottawa Police Services kept us safe and secure during the event. Chartwell Retirement Residences, Kettlemans, Lord Lansdowne, Starbucks in the Glebe and McKeens Metro kept our volunteers fed and ready for the onslaught of customers. We are truly surrounded by an army of caring community folk...thank you!

We also count on our greater community of merchants in Ottawa South and The Glebe who donated desirable items and gift certificates to our Merchants’ Silent Auction.

As many of you will know this annual bazaar is a labour of love for the members, volunteers, friends, family members and staff at Abbotsford. The repeated success of the event is one hundred percent thanks to the help and hard work of all these folks. We have had “elves” working in the depths of Abbotsford since the Spring – sorting, polishing, pricing and packing our treasures.

Abbotsford is the community side of The Glebe Centre. All of our volunteers, clients and members come from the surrounding neighbourhoods and use Abbotsford and its services to keep fit, keep connected, keep creative and keep on living in their own homes.

Abbotsford at The Glebe Centre receives about fifty percent of its funding from the government. This means that client fees and fundraising events are essential to keeping the programs going.

The New Year will bring new resolutions and growth opportunities to Abbotsford. Growth is what we hope to achieve in the New Year so expect new programs to keep you fit and challenged.

Some highlights to look for in the 2014 Winter Program Guide includes a new Muscle Toning Level 2 Muscle Toning Level 2 Muscle Toning Level 2 Muscle Toning Level 2 to round out your fitness week. This class offers another opportunity to help you retain the strength, balance and flexibility you need to live a safe and healthy life.

Our new Chair Yoga Chair Yoga Chair Yoga Chair Yoga is tailored to participants who have limited mobility or who want a gentle yoga class. In this class poses are done seated in a chair and standing using a chair for support. Each class will include a combination of stretching and breathing exercises designed to relieve stress and increase mobility, flexibility and balance.

We have yet another new experience for those who want to explore different and complimentary ways to keep fit. This term we will have a four week introduction to a modified Yang Taimodified Yang Taimodified Yang Taimodified Yang Tai----Chi Chi Chi Chi set and exercises specially adapted to accommodate health restrictions. Performed either standing or sitting, the aim is to regain your health.

We are offering an Art Class with Acrylics Art Class with Acrylics Art Class with Acrylics Art Class with Acrylics this term. Patrice Stanley will be teaching technique to both beginners and those who have been “dabbling” for years. Everyone will grow and learn this winter. Finally we will be offering a Bridge Class Bridge Class Bridge Class Bridge Class for both beginners and “rusty” bridge players who need go back

to the basics and regain their confidence and finesse. Bridge is food for the brain!

We at Abbotsford look forward to the New Year with great anticipation and look back at our year and the Annual 2013 Bazaar with great affection.

Everybody has a story - or stories. You may be writing your entire story from birth to some logical end point. Or you may be writing part of your story: childhood on a ranch, a career in the Arctic, a trip around the world, a passion for rare books, a hobby that turned into a business. Or you may have known someone remarkable and you want to tell about your connection with her or him. If something is of particular interest to you, it will be of interest to others. Whatever your memoir project, you will benefit from this course--the in-class memory-jogger exercises, the at-home assignments, the practice in using fictional techniques to enhance your story. You will benefit especially from the sharing and discussion of your work with others involved in similar projects. Share your own experience and learn from others in a supportive atmosphere.
