Congratulations are in Order

Congratulations to everyone on the “Payback in Paradise” murder mystery drama team for the two wonderful shows! Both audiences thoroughly enjoyed the play. For some, it was the first time they had seen a murder mystery performed. All the rehearsals and the time and effort you all put into this really made such a difference. The play was written Aurora Seniors’ Association (ASA) member Bert Wheeler. What a lovely surprise the ASA Silver Stars received on Wednesday, October 9, after their performance when Cliff White of PROBUS Aurora presented to our director of the Silver Stars Drama Club, Judy Buchanan, a donation cheque of $100 to the Aurora Seniors’ Association.
Congratulations as well to our ASA Carvers, successful at a recent carving show. Sue Phillips and Fred Ash won ribbons at the Ontario Woodcarvers’ Association 34th Annual Show and Competition. The event was held October 19 and 20 at the Pickering Recreation Centre. Sue won first and third in the novice division with her stylized geese.
Fred received a second in the Intermediate Division with his carving of an Ojibwa trapper.
