The Seniors Committee from the LaVallee Municipality, held a planning meeting, on Monday January 8th. Many ideas were shared for events into March. The first two being a Coffee Break Afternoon on both January 16 and 30. This gathering for seniors 55 plus will take place at the Devlin Hall from 1-3 p.m. complimentary coffee, tea and baking will be served.
Although this committee is just at its planning stages, there is a lot of enthusiasm from the ten community members including Lucille MacDonald and Elaine Hughes (members from council) who attended. As things progress, there are a wide variety of events that can be applied for that will offer seniors many opportunities for exercise, entertainment, speakers on many issues involving seniors safety and other ideas to be looked into. The meetings are open to all community members and seniors from other communities are welcome especially seniors who have lived in the Municipality of LaVallee.
Hoping to see many seniors out at the coffee gathering and upcoming events. If you know of a resident that needs a ride to the events, give them a call and offer to give them a ride. I’m sure it would be greatly appreciated.

I humbly apologize for a mistake in my last week’s Devlin News, recently born Lochlan Frenette is a baby boy, not a girl, as I mistakenly printed.
Robin’s 2 cents
The adult version of “heads, shoulders, knees and toes” is “wallet, glasses, keys and phone.”
