Both Bell Canada & Petro Canada have supported Askennonia Senior Centre with $500 donations, for each of three volunteers. Thanks to applications made by Cathy MacDonald, a retiree Petro Canada and Jackie Fraser and Kim Dusome, both Bell Canada Retirees, Askennonia has received $1500 in donations to recognize volunteer hours.

Cathy helped with the Health Seminar sessions last year and now coordinates "Open Studio", where our art students come together to practice and share their expertise.

Tim Hortons has kindly donated fanny packs to members of our walking group. They meet Thursday mornings at 9:30 am for a one hour walk about town, geared to accomodate participants of all levels. Some walk faster and further than others, and there is no pressure to 'keep up'. New walkers take the shorter or less demanding route. Thanks to Lise Pyburn and Edith Bell for leading this group. The fanny packs will come in very handy to carry the walkie talkies, cell phones and water bottles that tag along on every walk. Thanks Tim Hortons!
