Would you be interested in a late November trip to Edmonton to take in a show and Christmas shopping? Your executive is considering asking Jasper Event Management to hire a bus and book accommodation for one night plus give us options for hotels and theatre choices. If this kind of outing interests you, please email to us by Oct. 25 so we can determine if this is worth pursuing. Cost to be determined but likely in the range of $250-$300 for each person. All are welcome!

Anyone over 55 years of age can join the Society for a nominal $10 fee and receive newsletters and invitations to various planned outings and functions throughout the year. The objectives of the Society, in part, are to promote the interests of seniors as well as to coordinate the聽 services available to seniors in the community. The Society manages and maintains a Seniors鈥� Lounge in the Activity Centre where our monthly meetings take place on the second Monday of each month.
Our next meeting will be on Monday, Nov. 13, at 1:30 p.m. at the Seniors鈥� Lounge at the Jasper Activity Centre.
All seniors are welcome to attend and see what we are about. You can then decide if membership will be a benefit to you. If you have any ideas or wish to voice any concerns, please feel free to contact Janis Marks at 780-852-3973 or email to: [email protected]. Let us know how we can make everyday living better for all seniors in Jasper!
