North York 7th Annual
Golf
Tournament Kettle Creek Golf Club Your Planning Committee has decided to move the date of our annual tournament held at Kettle Creek to September 23, 2010. The change, to a fall date, was precipitated by several years of soggy spring-conditions on the course. The price of $45 may also increase if the costs are affected by the new Harmonization Tax. Watch for details of the tournament, and the registration form, in our August newsletter. Marilyn Johnson has agreed to continue registering golfers, Darlene McCowan will gather the prizes and Dianne Fair, along with members of the executive, will help solicit donated items for the prize table. Profits from the event will benefit our 'Service To Others' project for this year. Helen Wiber will assist where needed. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Helen at 416.485.0131. |

Grease Canon Theatre 244 Victoria St. Saturday, April 1 7, 2010 Cut-Off Date: Friday, March 12th, 2010 2:00 Matinee $75 (tax included) GREASE is all the things you would expect of a '50s teen romance! It's a classic "boy meets/loses/regains girl" tale! Danny, leader of Rydell High School's bad boys, the T- Birds, has a summer romance with Sandy, who unexpectedly appears at Rydell in the fall. Danny forsakes her to save face with his friends. In the meantime, Sandy works her way into the good graces of the Pink Ladies, the T- Birds' female counterparts. Along the road to Danny and Sandy's reconciliation are a rumble, a dance contest, and a drive-in make-out scene, with Sandy's conversion from goody two shoes to greaser babe, and everything ending happily. The cameo role of Teen Angel is played by "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks, a master of blue-eyed soul. Teen Angel makes a surprising and novel entrance in a midnight blue Elvis number studded with rhinestones that Hicks reportedly helped design. The show ends with Hicks singing "What's Right is Right," from his latest album. Be prepared to sing,, and start practising your hand jive now!! Note: Tickets available from Bernadette between 1:15 & 1:45 p.m. inside the Victoria Street entrance of the Canon Theatre (244 Victoria St.) |

Thursday, May 13th, 2010 $95 ~ Includes: lunch, show, taxes and all gratuities 9:30am - Meet the bus at Bayview Village Shopping Centre 11:30 a.m. Note: There should be time for a brief stroll on the main street prior to the 2:00p.m. curtain. Welcome to a secret society – the world of women. In The Women, a 1930s Broadway hit by Clare Boothe Luce, a Manhattan socialite finds out her husband is cheating on her, and her girlfriends are no help at all. With manicured claws, these women are fighting to maintain their status while scheming to leave, steal or win back their own husbands. This classic play captures a world that only half the population ever really gets to see. This play is a revealing look into the lives of the ladies-who-lunch that is clever, cut-throat and full of outrageous humour. "A play that takes place in women's boudoirs, salons, bubble baths and powder rooms – information for the men in the audience, confirmation for the women and a true celebration of the extraordinary actresses in our company." |

Two Nights at Wildwood Lodge
on Lake Huron near Wiarton Tuesday, June 15 to Thursday, June 17 Cut-Off Date: Friday, March 19th, 2010 $390 (all taxes & gratuities included)
Wildwood is noted for their wonderful home cooked meals which are served in the main wood paneled dining room. They are famous for their yummy sticky buns and butter tarts! The menu is delicious and nutritious and every guest's dietary issues are considered. Guests can relax and enjoy the beautiful sunsets and the sandy shores of Lake Huron right outside the 33 various sized cabins and cottages. All the bedding is provided as well as a daily housekeeper. There are mini fridges in your cabins, so drinks or medications can be kept cold. The cottages are rustic but clean, and have heaters in case the nights get cool. Towels are provided, but if you desire large, fluffy towels, you might prefer to bring your own from home. Please also bring a flashlight and sunscreen. Reception for cell phones is weak.
The lodge provides tennis, shuffleboard and mini putt equipment. There are walking paths and areas for fishing, as well as a marina out in front of the main resort that rents fishing boats, paddle boats, canoes, etc., and fishing equipment. When requested, wood will be provided for campfires on the beach or near your cabins in the evenings! There is a piano for singalongs, so bring your instruments and song sheets if you wish to share your talents! This location is an ideal setting for a bridge tournament. The usual schedule involves playing with the same partner and moving after every four hands over a period of two or three hours throughout the three days. We could have both contract bridge and duplicate bridge happening simultaneously, or just one format. Members of the Book Club or Knitting Club or Strollers' Club or Havajava Group could certainly use this opportunity to reconnect. The numbers of possibilities are endless!
A bus will pick you up at the southwest parking lot of Bayview Village at 9:45 a.m. Since we cannot leave cars overnight, you will have to make arrangements for someone to drop you off, or plan to take the subway on the Tuesday. The bus will travel north on Highway 400 to Highway 89. It will stop west of Aliston, where you can shop at Granny Taught Us How, prior to lunch at Mrs. Mitchell's Restaurant (an old school house). The bus will continue for approximately two hours to Wildwood Lodge. On Thursday, the bus will leave Wildwood Lodge after lunch. There may be time to wander the main street of downtown Wiarton, reminisce in an old fashioned 5 & 10 cent store, or visit the famous Wiarton Willie before the three hour drive back to Toronto. The bus should return to Bayview Village by approximately 5 p.m. There are two web sites that you might wish to explore: |
