King's Corners
Recreation department to hold session on some of its programs

King City Seniors' Centre

The King Township Recreation Department is to hold an information session at the King City Senior's Centre this Friday (Nov. 3) at 1:30 p.m.

The department is trying to provide more recreation services and they need input from all seniors; not just the ones already coming out now, but also from people who may come out if they could find something they like to do. The questions include what times are best for you, where would you like to see these programs, what type of programs do you want to have and what is an acceptable cost for a program? In order to find the answers to these questions, we need to hear from you.

Refreshments, tea and coffee to be provided by the Township. There will be time for socializing and good fellowship, so come on out. You will be most welcome.
