CARPET BOWLING, CARVERS AND CHOIR
Our Evergreen Choir consists of men and women who come together twice a
week on Wedneday and Friday afternoons from September to June. The program
of music selection changes each month as we sing ballards, traditional songs,
shows tunes, themed songs and songs that have stood the test of time. The first
and second weeks of the month we rehearse at the VSO, and the third and fourth
weeks we visit Care Homes and Retirement Homes to entertain the residents.
We are always looking for new members to join our choir. No auditions are
necessary, but a love of singing is a must!
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:15 a.m. in the Main Hall.
Carpet Bowling has been popular at Valley Seniors (and its earlier name, the
OAP) for over 45 years. It is a very competitive game, but in good fun. There are
two teams per carpet, and usually two carpets in play. There are often ten to
twelve players, but new players are always welcome. Coordinator: Joan Ayres.
Thursday 10 a.m. to around 2 p.m. in the Crafts Room.
There are currently about 22 members in this drop-in group. Many have been
getting together to perform their crafts for over a decade-and-a-half. Preferred
woods for carving include yellow cedar, basswood and butternut. There are bird,
chip and caricature carvers represented, as well as designers using pyrography.
