On Monday June 6, we had a lot of fun during LAF Fitness when the Caesars Windsor Heroes Team arrived to make an important announcement and to join us for class!

Caesars Windsor has giving Life After Fifty a sponsorship this year for "LAF Movement".  Through their support we will be able to subsidize fitness programs, buy replacement equipment and expand some of our programs, such as bringing back Belly Dancing for members to try.

Caesars also provided some show tickets that we raffled off to members.  The Heroes also offered us water during exercise as we all had a great workout!

 

Seniors are special, and we have a special month in honour of "us"!  June is Seniors Month.  Our mayor, Drew Dilkins, has proclaimed the month of June as "Windsor Seniors" Month.  

On June 1st, some of our members gathered by the WSC billiard tables to start the celebrations, with a member holding the proclamation for all to see.   We also tweeted this proclomation to share our message. 

At Life After Fifty, we will be holding some special events to recognize senior contributions including our membership meeting (June 20),  LAF Spirit Day Mosaic BBQ (June 21), and Better Living Day (June 22).

The census results were released May 3, 2017.  The survey revealed the Windsor-Essex seniors population is growing.  Thanks to reporter, Meg Roberts, for coming to LAF West Side to meet with us to ask what we think about it.  We all enjoyed watching Bea and Latif being interviewed.
