Seasons’ Greetings Friends of 411,
I sincerely wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season. I just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has been involved in the 411 Seniors Centre this year – it has been an absolute pleasure working with everyone. I can’t wait for what 2024 will bring us.
As you know 2023 has been a big year for us, we opened up our brand-new location at Fraser and East 19th Avenue in March and we have been busy ever since. We ran our annual free income tax clinic; we have continued to provide Information and Referral Service to seniors needing advice and assistance. We have implemented a wonderful range of engaging programs from book clubs, to outings, line-dancing and ukulele classes. The Centre is a vibrant place where seniors laugh, learn, sing, dance, play cards, Mah Jong, and much, much more. And, recently, we have been offering subsidized lunches on Wednesdays and Fridays…a great success- and delicious, nutritious menus.
I would be remiss if I didn’t make this annual request… With your support, we are able to: expand our subsidized meal program, increase the number of programs, purchase supplies for the kitchen and for programming needs and simply keep our beautiful space operating and supporting seniors.
All the best and Happy New Year,
Michael Volker, Executive Director
