President’s Message
Time sure does fly. November 5 marks one year since I took over as acting President. It has been quite an interesting experience for me. If you didn’t visit the Danube Centre on October 19 you missed a great craft show. The different format worked out really well. There was something to see and buy for everyone. So many members worked tirelessly to make this show possible. They all deserve a big thank you. Just a reminder: Nov 21 is the cabbage roll lunch and December 14 the Christmas dinner. To purchase tickets for either you are required to have a valid 2019 membership. - Elke
Craft Show
I am happy to report that the Craft Show at the Danube Centre on October 19th was a success. The vendors that I spoke with were impressed by the venue and happy with the turnout and sales. This could not have happened without the assistance of the Woodworkers’, the crafters, the excellent kitchen staff and all the members who stocked the bake table. Bill Burlton and I would also like to thank those who helped in the set up and take down as we could not have done it ourselves. - Bill Burlton/Al Charlebois

On November 10 members of the Danube Centre will

presently serving.

Celebrating 90 BIG ONES!!!!
In mid-September, members of the Friday Fitness Class
were informed that one of our long-time participants
would be celebrating a milestone birthday at the end of
the month. With the clandestine help of her family and
friend Kerstin Calderone, flowers, cake, and mayoral
presentation were arranged and on September 27th, at
the end of the weekly class, in the presence of local
media, Daisy Kolieff’s 90th birthday was celebrated at
the Danube Centre. It was a joyful occasion and we
were all delighted that Daisy was completely surprised.

Boutique News
Hello Everyone, Well I think our autumn days are coming to an end. The leaves are
falling very fast and the squirrels are working hard hiding the acorns. The Boutique
has been very busy and active this past month. Thanks to all who donated gently worn
clothing and footwear for us to sell. We have done very well with them. There are
still some summer items on the racks and the winter clothes are being put out weekly.
The exciting news is that there will be a 50% sale on most items during the month of
Nov. There is a lot to choose from for women and men with fantastic prices. We
expect to be quite busy with it, so make sure you get in as early as you can.
Once again thank you to everyone who brought in items and many thanks to those
who bought them. All money goes directly to the Centre to help with running the
activities, events, etc.
Hope to see you at the Boutique. Spread the word.

Have you moved recently? Please let us know your current phone
number, email and street Address, so we can stay in touch.
Movies, we have Movies In our library section you will see some good movies to borrow. Most are VHS, a few are DVD’s but we have a VHS/DVD player than you can borrow along with the movies. Some of the titles are: Spartacus with Kirk Douglas, The Vikings with Tony Curtis, The Thin Man with Myrna Loy and William Powell and many more.
Mindful Meditation Yoga
Genevieve Ford of Inner Reflections would like to offer Danube members a complimentary class in meditation techniques. Meditation helps to release and reduce stress, which is something we all probably need. This class would be available upstairs and uses chairs, so no yoga mats are needed. Date wise, sometime after Christmas would be likely. A signup sheet will be available on the bulletin board shortly.

SATURDAY MOVIE NOVEMBER 23 Waking Ned Devine
Have you ever dreamed of winning the lottery? Or, as in the
past, The Irish Sweepstakes? If I remember correctly, buying
a ticket for the Irish Sweepstakes was originally illegal in
Canada, though I remember my parents and everyone else
who could scrape together the few dollars it took to buy a
ticket, doing so in hope of winning a life of ease.
But could you stand the shock of actually winning? In the
case of fictional Ned Devine, his heart just couldn’t. But
Ned’s loyal friends decide that he would have wanted his
winnings to benefit their entire village, and that’s where the
hilarity begins.
If you haven’t seen this comedy, or even if
you have, come to the Danube Centre on
Saturday, November 23rd @ 1 p.m. $3.
Per person and share an afternoon of
laughter.

THE INTELLECTUALS Two retired professors were vacationing with their
wives at a hotel in the Catskills. They were sitting
on the veranda one summer evening, watching the
sunset.
The history professor asked the psychology
professor, “Have you read Marx?”
To which the professor of psychology replied, “Yes
and I think it’s these damned wicker chairs!”

SHOP LIFTING
This 80-year-old woman
was arrested for shop
lifting. When she went
before the judge in
Cincinnati, he asked her,
“what did you steal”? She
replied “A can of peaches”.
The judge then asked her
why she had done that and
she answered that she was
hungry. The judge then
asked her how many
peaches were in the can,
she replied 6. The judge
then said, “I’ll give you 6
days in jail then”. Before
the judge could conclude
the trial, the woman’s
husband spoke up and
asked the judge if he could
say something. The judge
said what is it? The
husband replied. “She also
stole a can of peas!”
