The Almost Free Family Fun in Halifax, Nova Scotia Do It Yourself Cruise Ship Excursion, well not really.

The Serving Seniors Social ( second annual ) Saturday, November 15, 2008, at the Holiday Inn, Dartmouth, was an overwhelming success with more than 300 local seniors in attendance during the day.
It was a fun-filled, action packed, informative outing enjoyed by all. We learned about the roots of Nova Scotia Democracy 250 years old, a session on the proper way to go about recycling, Judy Savoy had 'em "rolling in the floor".
Bill and Ian, used skits to present the concept of being alert to the numerous forms of fraud we have to always aware and wary of their various guises, they are with the ABC's of Fraud. Now, if only they could get Blue Diamond's money back.
Later on Nesrine ( a certified seniors fitness leader from the YMCA ) helped keep everyone awake after lunch with a series of exercises " while sitting " not sure how the snap-shots turned out but the audience appreciated this session; I did too since the luncheon was very tasty. I like many others needed this physical activity to keep " the sleepy's at bay". It worked.
Yes, they were up and dancing shortly after The Swell Guys & Donna took the stage. Fun to watch, to listen to and on Saturday fun to dance to as well. Their songs ranged from pop, to classic rock and swing, Tin Pan Alley to today's familiar hits. They were a big hit with this Serving Seniors Social crowd.
Can't hear, people are mumbling more ? It might not be them, it might be you. Serving Senior's Dr. Dave made a presentation on " Hearing Loss ", "lots of "food for thought" and questioners at the end too.
The afternoon drew to a close with storyteller Clare Dugas. Humm! True or not true ? Have to say ? !
The prizes were awarded and we had happy winners. A great day.
There were 30 booths ( tables ) to the Trade Show, members and non-members, displaying their products and services. Blue Diamond had numerous inquiries and distributed over 300 flyers on our up-coming 2009 season, the out-bound trips primarily from Halifax. One thing that we were telling folks about " if there is place you want to visit Blue Diamond will make a tour to your desired place -- all you need do is get 5 others to go with you!!"
I am happy to say we have an additional 100 people added to our mailing list.
The Serving Seniors Social ( # 3) will be in November 2009 -------------- Look for IT !!!
Last note -- the snaps-shots are on my website here
