Senior Centre Without Walls: Another way for the Stepping Stone Senior Centre to reach out. Scheduled for Tuesday, March 19 from 1:30 to 2:15 pm. You just need a telephone( cell or landline). The Topic will be The Dictionary of Flowers. Spring is coming and flowers are on our minds. We invite those interested in participating or know of someone who might like to connect with others and try it out. 
How does it work?
1. You call the Centre- 506-450-7849 or 506-668-0141. Leave your name and phone number by 4:00 pm on Monday, March 18.
2. You will receive a call back from Madeleine confirming your participation and to answer any questions you may have. We would love to have up to 10 participants to start.
3. Before the 1:30 pm start time of the program on Tuesday, you will be called and connected  with the other participants. It is then your choice as to your level of participation. You may ask questions of the Facilitator, Lyne Ouellet,  add your comments or just listen in and enjoy the meanings of Flowers. 
 Our hope is to develop a monthly calendar to include time and day of the week as well as the topic.
