Fall is fast approaching and the Drop In is back to the regular: committees meet, the executive meets and the general meeting for September was held on the 14th. The executive, despite an election in June is the same. So you have two years to get it together and become a member! We do hope [Read more]
Goose Droppings Summer at the Drop In is usually a rather routine affair: the usual weekly occurrences of puzzles, cards, bridge and mah jongg. Disruptions are usually caused by vacations, visitors and berry picking excursions. The Drop In is still here and open from 1:00 to 5:00pm every weekday [Read more]
Goose Droppings We have had a June meeting, a social and an election. We have enjoyed the beginning of summer and the return of the necessary rain. We may have followed the political and/or financial developments on both sides of the Atlantic…but that is another story, either an exciting or scary [Read more]
Let’s look on the bright side and change the spring tune. Slow melts are good for maple syrup, and low water levels and delays in golf times and maybe even the more time spent indoors at the Drop In…..well maybe, maybe not. Anyway, despite the glaring error in my last column about the days, [Read more]

Happy New Year!! (Especially if you did not get to the dinner on January 1, 2015.) January is now over and we have been just a little quieter than usual. Illness and out of town visiting have meant that many of those who usually come out for regular bridge, cribbage or euchre events have not [Read more]

Bake sales, teas and brunches, bazaars and other get-togethers have many people doing many extra things with their time and energy. And the [Read more]
WAWA, ON – August is almost all gone. However, the warmth of summer is still (now?) here; the blueberries are still here and the Drop In is still open to all. Back in June we had our Executive Elections with a new president and old ….sorry, existing…first vice-president, treasurer, and [Read more]
Spring is here! Spring is here! Spring is definitely here and I do so hope it is here to stay! That vaunted patience is just about all gone. Friday, June 6th, take care of yourself (or bring a loved one) for our Blood Pressure Clinic with Norma Kauk. We’re also expecting Renee Mellish, the [Read more]
Spring is here! Spring is here! Spring is definitely here! I am pretty sure its arrival did not coincide with the Spring Tea and Bake Sale on March 21 when you did get out to enjoy cake and refreshments or add to your goody cabinet with something fabulous from the bake table. But patience is [Read more]
My father always looked for a January thaw. He seldom ever got it in the Ottawa Valley. Being further north maybe a February thaw is more appropriate and probably just as elusive, especially in a winter like this one. And last Friday, February 14, 2014 wasn’t quite there although many of you [Read more]
It’s frozen! The lake, the streets, the car, my fingers and my brain….all so hardened that nothing works well! The tires on the car have been so often square that they decided that the tire monitor would scream at me and stay there until….who knows? The Drop In is still a nice warm place [Read more]
Wawa Goose Seniors Club News Thank you all!!….again! Maybe our Bazaar on November 22, 2013 was what they call a “Christmas Miracle”. Or maybe it is the usual way Wawa does it, whatever it may be. The fine array of donated items which went way beyond the penny sale to become a silent [Read more]
