2).  ‘Chaas’ for the month of July has been sponsored by Kundanben Vinod Parekh.   Many thanks to her from Kendra.
3).  Today after lunch Vinodbhai Kapashi has arranged a novelty Bingo game called  “VANGI BINGO” - MAKE A PERFECT DISH and as usual at Tea Time, Kendra will provide tea and biscuits. Vinodbhai had arranged this interesting Bingo with a twist.  He had given each number a food dish and the players were asked to arrange a perfect dish.  Members enjoyed the game.
4).  Next Thurs – 14th July we will meet as usual with Yoga conducted by Bhavnaben and there will be no walk until further notice.  The programme on this day is Bingo games.
5). Yesterday – 101 members went on our first day trip of this year to Stratford Upon Avon in two coaches and all had such a wonderful time that everyone asked when is the next trip.  The weather was mild and pleasant and when the Victoria Dance item at the Farm came up, 38 members joined in the same and later on they managed to have an item of gujarati garbas which they taught to many outsiders who had joined to learn the same !!
6),  Last Thursday we had a very good programme of ‘Kshama Yatchna’ after having a sumptuous lunch consisting of ‘Dudhpak’ with special masala puri,  dhokra etc.  However the programme was delayed because members continuously ignored instructions to keep quiet and do as informed.  Even during announcements several members stood up moving chairs and not maintaining silence.  We sincerely request all members to kindly maintain discipline so that everyone can hear properly and enjoy the programmes.  This will also encourage the persons presenting programmes.
7). The Newsletter for July has been emailed to members and also uploaded on our Website.  A few hard copies are available for those who do not have access to emails. 
8).  From 11th to 16th July, 40 members will be going on the Yoga Retreat in Hampshire.  We wish them good weather and Best Wishes.
9).  Summer has started and sometimes it is really very hot and members are requested not to ignore to drink more water as we are elderly and may get dehydrated.  This will also save us from Doctor’s visits.
10).  Jayantbhai Doshi announced that Kendra has got four Doctor members and three of them are regular comers.  They have decided to help members in giving them guidance and directions on any health problems. Of course everyone will have to follow their own GP’s medicines and directives.  Our members Doctors will guide anyone needing any help.  If you want to ask any questions, please register your names with Ashokbhai Mehta at the main desk.
