Revised Title: What Does Bay Shore Seniors Club
Sorry, my 1st publication of this Eblast missed half the title.
The Provincial Government has named June “Seniors Month.” This year is dedicated to Working for Seniors, which recognizes the importance of seniors keeping active, well and safe in their communities. As you may be aware, this the government who provides us with our Operationing and Special Grants.
They would like us to tell them, “What does Bay Shore Seniors Club Do for you; or MEAN to you?” For one individual, since playing Shuffleboard, her heart beats per minute have risen from 20 to 40 beats/minute. For another, it’s the friendships they have made over the years.
Please help us by writing something about what the Club has done for you; or what it means to you.
Thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to respond to this request.

We are having a “New Member Orientation” on Thursday, June 29th, from 2:00 – 4:00 pm. We would like you to help us set up and tear down, along with helping prepare for this new yearly event.
I have one individual who has offered to volunteer. I would like to hear from a couple more members, please. Lynn will put out a sign-up sheet for those interested in setting up and tearing down. Again, if interested, either reply to this email or send an email to info@bayshoreseniors.ca.

Bay Shore Bowling
I have been speaking to the Springwater Lanes Bowling Centre, 120 Yonge Street N, Elmvale, about Bay Shore starting up a Bowling League. We can try it out over the summer to see if this is a place you would like to start a league. Then in September, if we are still interested, we can begin a club either Monday, Tuesday or Friday.
Could you send me an email at info@bayshoreseniors.ca if you are interested? If you need help getting to me through the above email, click on this email and send me your reply. I know a few of you would like to play, so let’s try it together and see what you think.
Cheers,
Lorri
Message from YOUR Nomination Committee
We will soon be going through the membership list, searching for members interested in volunteering for a position on the Executive.
Two positions have yet to be filled from last year, and it is very disappointing that we almost have to beg for someone to step up and fill the vacancies. We now have the position for Recording Secretary opening up, along with a director and 1st Vice President that need to be filled. Without a Recording Secretary, the club will have no choice but to close. You must run an organization with one, as meeting minutes are mandatory.
Also, 1st Vice President helps to take some of the responsibilities off the president’s plate, as does the 2nd Vice President, who has been learning the job over the last year and those who are left are sometimes overwhelmed.
Going into the 2023-2024 election, we will have an opening for 2nd Vice President. This would be a great time to learn the ropes on the team.
This club runs on volunteers, but it is always the same people volunteering over and over. We need new blood that will bring fresh ideas and be willing to help. Many of the members that keep volunteering are reaching the point of exhaustion and various health issues. So please help YOUR club by stepping up and volunteering for one of the vacant positions.
We look forward to hearing from you before we have to call you!

After lunch, we start our journey home but stop at Forty Creek Distillery in Grimsby for some tasty BBQ sauce and their excellent whisky!
