Come and look around – you’ll find something to your liking
February the month of hearts and love. We invite all newcomers to Peachland age 50 and over to drop into our office any Monday to Friday from 9:30 to 11:30. We will give you a tour and share our calendar of events.
We are pretty sure we can find something to spark your interest. If not, we are always on the lookout for new ideas.
Also, everyone is welcome at our annual general meeting and activities showcase coming up Feb. 23, following the monthly potluck Friday dinner at 6 p.m.
There will be elections held for empty positions, but it is safe to come, you won't get roped in unless you want to let your name stand as we have had volunteers step forward.
We really hope for a good turnout. Cost for the dinner is by donation plus a food item to share.
Bring your own plate and cutlery. Membership is $20 per year. Make sure you pay up so you can vote.
Our Potluck Friday on Jan. 26 was a hit for those who attended. Bryan Feagan and his friend Kenn Kardish sang us some really old “cowboy tunes” that had us tapping our toes and even singing along at times.
————— On Feb. 12, the Peachland Variety Singers will kick off the Peachland HeArts Festival Week with their annual “Love In” at 11 a.m. followed by lunch.
The program will include their favourite love songs such as “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” “My Funny Valentine” and “You Made Me Love You.”
The Peachland Quilters & Needleworkers will have their usual display of beautiful quilted items and host an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Bridge will carry on as usual,
Barb says it takes more than an open house to distract a bridge player. Make sure you wear something red.
————— Are you looking for that special Valentine's present or maybe a just because gift?
Kettle Valley Brakemen tickets are now available for their concert at Activity Centre on Sunday March 11 at 2 p.m.
Jack Godwin and his crew entertained us last year, were very popular and we had a full house so we've invited them back.
He has promised some new songs and stories that will help some of us remember back to the age of steam. This is a concert for all ages.
The young ones will get to learn a little local history in a fun way and the seniors will get to bring back some memories of the trains running through the valley.
Tickets are available at the 50-Plus Activity Centre, Peachland Museum, Peachland Pharmacy, Peachland Dollar Store, Peachland Bliss Bakery & Bistro, and the Cherry Pit Restaurant in Westbank.
Dave Winter will be along as well with his travelling model train set.
————— The new Friendly Bean Coffee group meets every second Wednesday and has gotten off to a great start in January.
They will meet February 14 and 28 at 10:20 a.m.
————— OK, one more Heart Event: The Peachland Heart & Stroke Awareness Workshop is coming up on March 13 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the 50 + Activity Centre.
Pre-registration is required through the community centre. Cost is $5.
Come and learn how to use our defibrillator. Lots of helpful information will be shared.
