CLIFFORD – President Barbara Harris welcomed 11 members to the Merry Makers seniors’ meeting on Feb. 7 at Jamesway Manor in Clifford.
Birthday greetings were sung for Doris Jaunzemis. Marion Wylie shared Valentine jokes from The Voice regarding stamps, such as, “What travels around the world and stays in one corner? A stamp,” and “Said the stamp to the letter, ‘Stick with me and we’ll go places!’”
Guest speaker Janna Dodds, a registered nurse and member of the Reflexology Association of Canada, demonstrated the healing effects of reflexology. This type of acupressure stimulates the body to affect healing and bring the body into proper balance. Applying pressure in the right spots helps the body increase circulation, relax, repair and heal itself.
Gladys Zimmerman allowed Dodds to demonstrate the ancient art of reflexology on her feet.
As a parish nurse, Dodds looks after the health of people in a faith community. Anyone interested in her services may call 1-519-321-1867 for a session.
After a few rounds of Bingo won by Mary Mighton, Christine Herman and Marion Wylie, Carol Reiner was declared the champion winning three games.
The meeting concluded with a dinner of pizza and caesar salad delivered by Clifford Take Out Pizza.
The next meeting on March 7 will start with a potluck lunch at noon.
All seniors are welcome. Membership is $3 a year.
