highlights objects from the museum’s collection. Both of these exhibits
will be in place until October 2020.
During another activity, several members attended a performance of
Luzia , a Cirque du Soleil touring production that incorporates rain into
acrobatic and artistic scenes that left us all in awe.
Fifty-four members participated in the ARTA Wellness Challenge
amassing 252,196 minutes of activity over their best thirty days.
Bravo to all!
As fall approaches, our thoughts turn toward some of the tasks
required for planning and organizing a new year. Isn’t it interesting
how the month of September is still labelled a “a new year” for many
of us? CRTA’s first big event this fall is the AGM and luncheon. If you
are newly retired, interested in reconnecting with former colleagues,
or making new connections through a wide range of activities, we
encourage you to explore our website (calgaryretiredteachers.org)
or contact me directly. We welcome you with open arms! Among our
plans for the first few months of fall are a wellness day, a workshop
on Dying with Dignity, an afternoon with art and tea, a series of art
lessons, and Lunchbox Theatre. Hope to see some of you there! ●
Keep an eye out. I know I left the rake
somewhere around here.
