Meetings are weekly each Wednesday, September through to June,
1pm-3pm, (except 12:30 to 3:00 for Potluck days) at the Findlay Community
Centre, 26 Elliott St in Dartmouth. The Findlay Community Centre is wheelchair
accessible, close to bus routes and has free parking.
A detailed projection of meetings is listed below:
Oct. 29 will be a practice filming day for the Club physio video
Nov. 5 is the day for Pink Fox Productions to do the planned professional-grade filming of our club's physio video (See below for more detail)
Dec. 17 will be a Potluck day AND our last meeting in 2008.
Feb. 11 will be a Potluck meeting
June 15 will be last meeting before summer break
The actual filming of the club video project has begun with Kaily McGean (now employed with video producer Pink Fox Productions) working closely with Janet and Sue Ehler (of the Monday morning Stroke exercise group at Cole Harbour Place) at practice sessions on Oct.22 and 29, for the filming planned for Nov.5.
This project will produce a home workout video for the club members; when DVDs of it are made, each member will get one free, so you can work out in company with people and exercises you're familiar with, at home.
Above are pictures of the physio practicing, led by Janet Millar and Sue Ehler, at the Oct. 22 meeting

Unfortunately, our singer/ musical therapist, Anna Pleskett now has employment committments that prevent her Wednesday visits, so the pre-meeting singsongs are off until we can find another singer/ musician who can revive them. We're trying to find a replacement.
1:30 to 2.00 is the group physio time with club physiotherapist
Janet Millar leading the members in
exercises to the pacing rhythm provided by the cheery musicians who
contribute their time and skill on a voluntary basis.
At 2.00, Janet works one-on-one with members who have special
physical problems,
Helma Osmond, our kind speech
therapist volunteer, provides on-going help for members with speech
problems.The rest of the members eagerly tackle the lunch which the kitchen volunteers have prepared.
After the lunch, there are usually other activities such as bingo or arranged speakers.
(Check here for weekly updates for any special items or presentations planned for next meeting.)
