Quadra Circle is off to an energetic start-up at your Community Centre. This adult-oriented group is organized by a committee of the Quadra Island Recreation Society and our aim is to have fun, provide volunteer service to the community and offer educational opportunities.

Our monthly meeting (the hub of our activities) is open to all adults and is held on the third Monday of each month from 11:00 until 12:00 noon in Room #1 at QCC. This is followed each month by a bag-lunch social in the main hall with coffee and tea available. The hall rental is paid out of our donation box which is available at the meeting, at the lunch and at all our activities. The next meeting will be held on Oct. 15. If you would like to participate in our energetic meetings, or just listen, come out and join us – or come at noon with your bag lunch and meet some new people.

Other activities are ongoing. Every Monday (except for holidays and the third Monday of each month) we offer classes in Temple Tai Chi (Room #3 – 10:30 to 11:30) followed by bridge lessons (the card game) in Room #1 from 11:30 – 1:30. Both groups have been well attended, and both are facilitated by Annie Strong (285-2885), with help in the bridge class from Hilda Van Orden and Chris Thompson. Newcomers are welcome. Next classes will be on Oct. 22. Call Annie for more information.

Coming up soon, on Monday nights, starting on Oct. 15 and running until Nov. 12, we are presenting five mind-stimulating evenings based on Bill Moyers’ video interviews with famous healers. These classes will be held in Room #1 from 7 – 9 p.m. Liam Grimm will be coming from Campbell River to facilitate group discussion after each video viewing.

Starting Tues. Oct. 30, there will be five Tuesday-evening dance classes held at QCC (6 – 7:30 p.m.). Classes will be facilitated by Barry and Sharron Hatelt. Find a partner and come out and have fun learning some new “moves”. Call Barry or Sharron at 285-3144 for more information.

On the community service front, frozen meals are still available at the affordable price of $4.25 each. These are available at the Community Lunch (QCC) on Wednesdays or by calling Karen Gair at 285-3064.
