Today is your day Boomer! I have written over 700 blogs on this page, so needless to say, I spend a lot of time searching the net for Baby Boomer info. I came upon this advice on Facebook a few days ago and you can take it or leave it. Here is the abbreviated version. Advice for Boomers 60 years of age or older: (1)It's time to use the money you saved; use and enjoy it! (2)Stop worrying about the financial situation of your children and grandkids. (3)Keep a healthy life without great physical effort; do moderate exercise. (4)Try not to dwell on daily aches and pain; accept them as part of life. (5)Speak in courteous tones and try not to criticize and complain too much. (6)Don't stress over the little things in life; feel good in the now. (7)Enjoy your time and money together with your partner; love is most important! (8)Be proud; maintain your outer appearance, so you'll feel better about yourself on the inside. All these come from a social media guy named Tim Lewis. Thanks Tim, whoever you are. Boomers, some of these recommendations we can take to heart! Cheers and thanks for reading my blog!
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
