Cordova Bay 55 Plus

The CB55+ Office will close at 12:00 noon, on Tuesday, December 19th, after the Christmas Open House Social.

The CB55+ Centre will be closed December 23rd through January 8th, so no programs or groups will meet during the holidays.

Our Annual Christmas Luncheon was held at the Beach House on December 5^th.  It was thoroughly enjoyed by a sold out house!  Good food, great company, lots of door prizes and of course a superb, sunny Cordova Bay afternoon!!  We were visited by Santa and his helper, who handed out yummy chocolates to each table.  Thank you to everyone that helped to organize a great Christmas celebration.  See you next year!!!

Welcome back everyone!!  Our wonderful Cordova Bay 55+ Association is busier than ever.  Most of our CB groups have once again started up — check out the bulletin board, or the Blue Heron News for the weekly activity schedule.  

The Saanich Courses have started, but it’s not too late to check them out.  To register, members must contact Saanich at 250-475-7600, or online at www.saanich.ca.  (Saanich is again offering Gentle Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Tessa Rae Yoga and Line Dancing).  Also check under “Groups” on our website to see if there is anything that might interest you.  Lots to choose from.  

We also have a weekly hot lunch every Wednesday for only $7.00, plus $1.00 for coffee or tea, as well coffee and goodies are always on (coffee $1.00, goodies .25). 

On August 18^th CB55+ had a fun and exciting Car Rally (one of many to come – hopefully!!!!)  Thanks to all the organizers (Pat, Ed, Mary, Mike, Marilyn and Paul) for all  their hard work.

All the participants were treated to a lovely catered lunch (yum, yum), wonderful draw prizes and entertainment from each of the teams.

Our Strawberries and Waffles brunch/lunch was another great event.  On July 11th our members enjoyed delicious waffles topped with assorted berries and whipped cream.  Great food and lots of good company.  Thanks to all the “ladies of the kitchen” – without our volunteers we wouldn’t be able to have these great “get together’s”.

WOW!!!!  Thank You Men.   Another wonderful and tasty BBQ and a great “catch-up” for our friends and neighbours that we haven’t seen over the summer.  

Definitely looking forward to Strawberries and Waffles and our annual BBQ in 2018!!!!
