February, the royal blue amethyst month brings sincerity and happiness to all.

Our shortest 2007 month, 28 days, but for each of us a month full of eager anticipation, excitement and joy at our centre. A full schedule of activities, trips, lunches, dinners and special events to satisfy our anticipations and fill your month with.

Hearts and flowers for all. You are our Valentines. All regular scheduled activities are available to you. 2007 Membership at $15/year is available anytime for you.

Our incoming presidentelect for 2007-2008, vicepresident Monica Smith extends to you her personal welcome.

"Hi! I just want to wish you a Happy Valentine for 2007. Wow! February already. All you people 55+ who haven't made a visit to the Caledon Seniors' Centre should make this your New Year's Resolution. We are more than an activity centre. Recently some of our members have began calling us the "Upteens" for that's the way we feel. Treat yourself kindly and drop in to our centre and see for yourself. You will receive a very warm welcome. Thank you all."
