Please don’t let me say it, but I think this “Summer Of Wonder” is slowly fading.....and what a summer it has been. If my
memory serves me correctly the great summer of 2015 started back around the beginning of May and just kept coming.
Now I know the weather had it’s drawbacks what with far too little rain, but I still quite enjoyed the uninterrupted stretches
of sunshine and warm days. And along with the great weather there was a good vibe in the Comox Valley over the last few
months. (Continued on Page 2)

A May long weekend celebration in Cumberland....a July Canada Day celebration
in Courtenay which this year had a special meaning because of the 100 Year
Celebration of the City of Courtenay and also the Canada Day Tea Dance at
the Native Sons that we played a very important part in......and an August long
weekend in Comox to celebrate it’s special time of Nautical Days and the Filberg
Festival. We also had another very successful Pancake Breakfast in July. Hope you
were able to attend and enjoy some or all of these festivities....and if you did, you
got the chance to check out the fi re trucks and politicians three diff erent times.
The Evergreen Club was somewhat quieter over the summer months but things
are beginning to ramp up for a very busy 2015-2016 winter run. With a number
of clubs taking the summer off the activity level was down but now here we go
again....The Choristers will be having their 7th Annual Variety show this month for
one and it is always a very popular event.....a Fall Garage Sale is scheduled for
this month and another Pancake Breakfast for early October. That’s just a start to
what looks like another busy season of activities.
A big thank you and congratulations to Mary Satwatzky, our June recipient of
“Volunteer of the Month”. As mentioned in the June newsletter, Mary is quite
involved in a number of club activities and adds much input into those clubs.
She is especially eff ective in keeping the Friday Night Dance activities going and
keeping it a robust organization. As part of the Friday Night Dance Team myself,
I have been able to see fi rst hand and appreciate her contributions. Well done
Mary!!
So Welcome Back to everyone who has been busy enjoying the sunshine. I do
hope you all had a great summer and now it’s onward and forward to another busy
time. Enjoy the club....enjoy the activities it provides...and always be thankful for
the great facilities we have....see you at the club....gk

Wow! What a summer, hope everyone
enjoyed their brown lawns.
We are getting ready for a hectic

Canadians. I’m sure everyone will be
impressed. We are back to our usual

Hope to see you all .

Although the Club did not meet in July
or August members weren’t taking
a holiday. We had a photoshoot on
Saltspring Island and another to Island
Buff alo in Black Creek. At the latter we
saw two large herds, one of buff alo
and the other water buff alo. We had
the chance to buy some buff alo steaks
as a bonus. The moon pictures, one
fewer than usual were, well received
and the one you liked the best, by
quite a distance, was the one showing
two cruise ships and a full moon taken
at Kin Beach. We also enjoyed our
annual picnic at Kin Beach, eating well
and playing Bocce. The next display
which will show in early September, aft er our fi rst meeting of the new year,
will be an open choice, so expect
some variety there. We meet every
fi rst and third Tuesday in the month in
the Soroptimist Lounge at 1.00 p.m.
We will enjoy a change of leadership
as I step down and Beth Millar takes
my place. Can’t wait!

It’s amazing how quickly time is going by and preparations by both the over 3500
competing athletes and North Vancouver, the host for this year’s 55+ BC Games
are well under way. Many of us are rediscovering muscles we knew we had, but
apparently have been giving them a bit of a holiday over the winter. I hope that
old expression “no pain, no gain” actually works.
North Vancouver has started to put the fi nishing touches on their venues and
updating their website regularly; www.55plusbcgames.org . They have added
an “Accommodation” section which is designed to let you you know what
accommodations are available close to your sport. Many of you have already
secured accommodations for the games, but if you haven’t, you should start
making arrangements now. Many hotels block booked rooms for athletes many
months ago, some athletes/teams qualify and others don’t, these available
rooms can change daily. They also book off rooms for their regular customers as
the games get closer, some of these rooms will also become available. So, if you
aren’t able to book a room at your hotel of choice, keep trying each day.
June 25 is the registration deadline, so if you haven’t registered yet, please contact
the representative for your sport as soon as possible. Individual sport coordinators
can also be found on the website ,www.55plusbcgames.org for Zone 2.
Circle the date July 15th at 1:00 pm at the Native Son’s Hall in Courtenay for the
Orientation Clinic. You will receive a new shirt with the new logo -Word has it
that the shirts and jackets you now own may become “Collectors” items as the
rebranding process of the BC Senior Games to the BC 55+ Games is in full
swing. All of a sudden, we’re a whole lot younger! You will also receive the latest
updates for the 55+BC Games. This is an excellent opportunity to meet fellow
participants, yours truly and ask any questions you may have. Did I mention great
door prizes?
As the curlers sit back and relax before the games, the rest of us are gearing up in
preparation for the North Vancouver Games. Have fun getting ready and please
don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Table TennisHello table tennis members - I can’t
take it in at the moment, but I do have
to tell you with extreme sadness and
aching heart, that our President Patti
Robertson, (my name for her ‘Ping
Pong Patti’), died on Monday, July
20th.
She worked hard and cared so much
for our club and its members. Table
tennis was her passion. She loved it
when lots of players showed up and
the hall was a buzz with the noise of the
balls and the laughter of the players,
all enjoying chasing the little ball and
shouts of joy when at the end of a long
rally someone won.....she loved the
game, (had a great backhand) and
the people. Even in her absence I
would call her or she call me, because
she wanted to know who was there
playing. She will be so missed. If at
all possible wherever she is, I know
she will get a group together to play
and declare ‘game on’!!! Farewell Ping
Pong Patti and thank you.
We will return to normal playing times
including Monday, 11.30 am to 1.30
pm on September 14th. At that time
most vacations and summer outings
will come to a close; so get your winter
programme organized and come out
and play either Monday (11.30 am
to 1.30 pm) or Tuesday (12.30 pm to
4.00 pm). We really want to get this
club running to full capacity so please
join us. To continue Patti’s enthusiasm,
we would love to see people eager to
help in running this club and preparing
the hall for play. Remember activity
and participation keeps your body and
brain very alert and added bonus, it’s
fun and exciting and you can meet new
people. Bats and balls are provided,
the cost for Evergreen members is 75
cents per visit. At least give it a try,
nothing ventured, nothing gained, so
hopefully we will see you in the future,
meanwhile enjoy the summer.

During the summer, some of us read
Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman,
but not before re-reading To Kill a
Mockingbird. Both books received
great praise. Another book was Sara
Gruen’s latest, At The Water’s Edge.
She wrote, Water for Elephants.

Tuesday,September 8th & Tuesday, September 22nd, 20154:30 pm - 6:15 pm Rotary HallWow. The sun and clear skies are
beautiful, but they are drying us out
like a prune! I have never much liked
a lot of rain (being a former Albertan),
but have grown to love the greeness
of this island very much over the years.
I am heard frequently, please let it rain!
We are all ready to play and sing
some more. We are a club that does
not teach. We welcome beginners
& experienced , alike. Our songs are
sent to us via computer by Terry, ahead
of time. This allows you to practice (or
not...shame on me) all you like before
our get togethers. At our sessions the
music is displayed on a screen, so no
printed material is necessary. We start
with simple chords and songs, and in
the last 45 minutes move onto more
complicated chords...made easy by
that word mom taught us...practice!!
If you are thinking you might be
interested in playing the uke, we have
a loaner that can be signed our and
taken home for a couple of weeks
to experiment and play with, before
making a purchase.
Our only Club requirement is a current
Evergreen Club membership, and a
$2.00 drop-in fee.
For more information please contact
Howie at [email protected] or
Terry at [email protected].
Feel free to drop in to our sessions to
listen , and get to know us.

Hello all, there is lots to catch up on.
For our month end June tournament, held on the 26th. we played “Devils and
Horseshoes”. This is always a lot of fun and a game anyone can win. A lot of luck is
involved and of course some skill. The winners were Anna Robitaille, Beth Millar,
Merv Diesing and Les Bowman. For the KP Paula Reid won the ladies and Dixon
Hiscock the men’s KP. There were 32 members participated in the tournament.
Our “away game” for July was held at Glacier Greens Golf Course. Twenty of our
members played and later stayed for lunch and liquid refreshment. The liquid
refreshment was particularly good, it was one of those hot, hot days we had in
July.
For the July month end tournament we played Yellow Ball (just so we could get
it right). There were 41 participants and the winners with a score of 35 were,
Sue Liesch, George Allen, Lorraine Boyd and Dixon Hiscock. The ladies KP was
won by Beth Millar and the men’s by Richard Hicks. Well done all you winners.
We would like to thank Longlands Golf Course for providing us with tea, coff ee
and cookies and also a free pass to each of the KP winners. There were other
happenings in July which should be mentioned. Congratulations goes to Daphne
Welsh and Ted Johns on their engagement and also to Victor Simonson for the
Courtenay Citizen of the Century Award.
The August “away game” was held at Mulligan’s Golf Course. Thirty two of our
members played and aft erwards traveled a short distance down the highway to
Sunnydale Golf Course where we enjoyed lunch.
I hate to mention this so soon, because it doesn’t seem that long since this years
golf season started in the Spring. However, our fi nal banquet and tournament is
fast approaching -so mark your calendars, September 25th.
Anyone interested in joining our fun golf club and would like more info. please
give us a call at 250 338 0044.

which is open to all iPad and iPhone

On the third Tuesday we switch to
slightly more ‘advanced’ techniques
but all are weldome. If ‘new’ users
attend (and you are most welome)
please remember that we don’t review
basics at these meetings.
Reminder - our new home is the Dining

CLUB NEWS
The Second Stage Players have met
monthly through the summer. Our
weekly Monday meetings begin
on August 31st from 3:15-5:00 pm
upstairs in the Filberg Centre. We are
welcoming new members.
Our remarkable playwright, Betty
Annand, has written yet another
entertaining play with comic relief
entitled: “A 2015 Christmas Carol.”
Rehearsals begin in September and
Val Parmley will be directing a cast of
enthusiastic actors.
A drama club is much more than
getting ready for performances. It’s
all about being part of a drama family
and developing camaraderie and
friendship. There are a myriad of jobs
involved in putting on a play. We
need people to assist with costumes,
hair, props, sets, advertising and stage
managing. Second Stage Players
welcome experienced and ingenue
members.
The Second Stage Players Drama Club
runs all year and we will be performing
another play in the spring. Hope you
can join us!
Again, thank you to all the Evergreen
and Community members who attend
our performances!
Heather Rapin.
Drama ClubOur July get together was on July 8th,
aft er welcoming everyone we sang
Happy Birthday to four members.
Barb Muller informed us how to
obtain full transportation costs for
both patients and cars for out of
town medical appointments such as
Victoria, Vancouver etc. Tony told
some jokes followed by members
speaking of their holidays taken this
year. Our monthly lunch was at Salmon
Point, where we sat outside on the
patio, everyone found this enjoyable.
Aft er the meeting refreshments were
served.
We haven’t been too active this
summer due to the hot weather not
being suitable for some of our outdoor
activities. Some of our members
helped at the July 1st Tea Dance and at
the Pancake Breakfast. Our Pot Luck
picnic is at Kitty Coleman Campsite
August 13th. We are looking forward
to the Classic Cruisers taking us for a
ride in September. The date will be
announced later. I would like to thank
all those who help keep our Meet &
Greet Group going.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Blooming Flowers, Smiling dogs, and Creating Art!Those who know Chris know she’s no ‘shrinking violet!’ A few chats with Chris
and you will get a smile and a fast talk on what matters to her. This avid gardener
previously sat on the NI Rhodo Society board, and has shown her one acre of
garden many times for various tours. She lives in Royston with her hubby and
their Rhodesian ridgeback named Kobe whom they saved from the SPCA (aft er
having their beloved bearded collie - Jasper). Born in England, Chris lived in
Calgary since 1982 and moved to the valley in 2004. It was Betty Cartwright
who encouraged her to join the Evergreen Art Group. “She said you’ll enjoy it
and I do! They are a fun outgoing group.” says Chris, “I’ve been at it for 5 or 6
years now.”
Chris volunteers her time as the Art Group’s committee rep. She attends the
Evergreen Club meetings on their behalf and reports all the info shared back
to the group. She’s also one of the key volunteers’ behind the Evergreen Art
group shows. She puts in many hours with promotions, organizing equipment,
decorating, displays and room layout tasks. You will also see her paper arts on
display for sale in the glass case in the lounge (proceeds go to the Evergreen
Club).
Chris enjoys diff erent mediums and exploring Asian themes in her paper art. So
what do some of her Art Group cohorts have to say? “She’s a fantastic painter,”
says Ann Freitag. “She’s a great one for welcoming people and volunteering,” says Marcia Wilford. Other words describing Chris were shouted out from her
art group peers like: bubbly, energetic, and enthusiastic! Congrats Chris!
