‘I enjoy every day’

She is currently a Member of the Women of the Moose and the Red Hat Society.

Philis said, “Years ago my good friend Ethel Rhodes talked me into joining the Lady Bugs, a local chapter of the Red Hat Society. What do the Lady Bugs do? Well, we enjoy going for lunch once a month – we eat and talk and catch up on the news about one another and have some fun going to events together.”

Philis concluded by saying, “I love Prince George. I have a great family and lots of good friends. I can go where I want and when I want. In the winter I just enjoy watching the snow come down and when it is really cold I don’t mind it one little bit because I just stay at home with my little best friend Marci. We have four beautiful seasons to enjoy and I enjoy every day of every one of them.”

The Forever Young Chorus at the Elder Citizens Recreation Centre, at 1692 Tenth Ave., proudly presents their musical production of songs from the fabulous ’50s under the direction of Janice Taylor. You can “Bop” to the music of the 1950s – the “rock ‘n roll” era – the era that our parents said was the start of the teenage rebellion. Really?

An era when teenagers started dancing in the aisles when they heard the song Rock Around the Clock, the opening music for the movie Blackboard Jungle, a story about a high school teacher’s confrontation with juvenile delinquents.

The era when the popular TV show American Bandstand hosted by Dick Clark went national.

Remember when we swooned over our teen idols like Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson, Paul Anka, Bobby Rydell, Neil Sedaka and many others that were topping the charts.

Join in the fun, bring back some high school memories and attend the concert: the dates and times are Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Admission, with all proceeds going to the senior centre operations, is just $10 per person for a great two-hour show. Tickets will be available at the door. Hope to see you there.
