This was the busiest session with over 50 people.

Last week Lisa informed members about the Greek traditional New Year cake at the beginning of January. The tradition is to bake a sponge cake and put a coin in the cake.

The top right cake was made by Marina. The right front cake was made by Dawn. The left front cake was made by Rosetta and the left back cake was made by Roopa

The saying is that anyone that finds the cake is going to have a lucky year. We had 4 cakes brought in by members - Marina, Dawn, Rosetta and Roopa. Lisa would like to give special thanks to the ladies for making these lovely cakes that were enjoyed by all members. They found it great fun finding the coins in the cakes.

Lisa then introduced a game to members like bingo but involved throwing dice and a Lotto scratch card. The winner takes the scratch card. We also celebrated 2 birthdays today for Dawn and Peter.

The session followed with singing, some chair exercises and then Lisa distributed all members with various games which were really enjoyed. The session ended with a short quiz.

A big thank you to all our volunteers Melvyn, Eleanor and it was a pleasure to see Annette who also helped and some of our carers who stepped in to help in this very busy session.
