Botha seniors working overtime ... all in the name of a good time

Get your dancing shoes ready and come out this coming Sunday to the Botha Hall for another great afternoon of dancing and visiting.

Get your dancing shoes ready and come out this coming Sunday to the Botha Hall for another great afternoon of dancing and visiting.

The old-time dance starts at 1:30 p.m., with the “Four and One” Band entertaining for the afternoon. There will be a pooled luncheon, so please bring buns/sandwiches or desserts with you to share. Sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

The very next day, Monday, come out to the Botha Senior Centre for another great and creative day of quilting. They start at 9 a.m. sharp and put together some very beautiful items, so they would like everyone to come out and do some quilting with them.

It’s a great day, and even if you have never quilted before, the participants would love to see you join them.

Calling all seniors? The Botha monthly meeting is set for Monday, March 4, starting at 11 a.m. at the Botha Senior Centre.

The meeting starts with a pot-luck lunch, so please bring one of your favourite items to share with everyone. The meeting follows the pot-luck lunch.

Every Tuesday evening, there are zumba classes from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Botha Hall. It’s a great class to get involved with, and they have lots of fun. Contact Callie Turigan at 403-742-8308 for more details.

Every second Tuesday at the Botha Senior Centre is Early Bird Bingo. The game starts at 7:15 p.m. and everyone is invited to play. The next Bingo evening is March 5.

Wednesdays begin with coffee time at the Senior Centre, starting at 10 a.m., and organizers invite people to join them for a cup or two. It’s a great way to socialize and to meet your neighbours. They have the coffee pot on, and ready, every Wednesday morning.

Every Wednesday afternoon, starting at 1 o’clock, come out for great visiting and exercise and play carpet bowling. It’s a fun game and everyone is welcome to join the action.

Thursday is another fun filled day of activities in the Botha area. Starting at 1 p.m. is floor curling, and it’s a great game. There’s lots of fun for everyone and it’s another great way to get some exercise. These games are held at the Botha Senior Centre.

On Thursday, starting at 7 p.m., is Booty Bounce and Cardiovascular Hip Hop Classes at the Botha Hall. They only run for one hour per week. Call Callie for more information.

Worship with Rev. Susan Bowyer and her congregation on Sundays, starting at 11 a.m. They would love to see people celebrate with them. With Easter about five weeks away, let’s all remember the main reason for the season.

It’s hard to believe Daylight Savings Time begins in just a couple of weeks. On Sunday, March 10, we will turn our clocks ahead again for another season.

So, hopefully, that will be a sign of spring. It’s already been a long winter, so spring can’t come soon enough.
