FRIDAY JUNE 1, 2012

Hello June, it's been too long. Glad to see your lovely self once again :-) To celebrate this first day of June, which also happens to be a Friday (double awesomeness, anyone?!?!), the Youth Centre will be starting with some very precise yet intriguing paper folding, also commonly referred to as ORIGAMI.

Our evening activities include but are (never ever) limited to MOVIE & POPCORN with Anna. Bring in a movie from home or maybe we will venture to the local cinema renting establishment to pick one out (I'm in the mood to be loquacious--> did you see what I did there...I'M SO FUNNY!).

And our very own Cat will be taking a dip in the pool for PUBLIC SWIM.  Starts at 7p.m., ends at 8:30p.m. Cost is $2.50. So get your water wings ready.

And as it is that wonderful day of the week called Friday, be smart and safe in all the fantastic adventures that may await you this day and the next.

THURSDAY MAY 31, 2012

So picture this: I'm standing at home plate, bat in hand and I point to the out field :-) That's right folks, I'm going to hit a home run!! The crowd roars, all while chanting my name, A-N-N-A. Alright, alright...I'll return to reality now (but only if I have to). So, uuummm.....tonight we are playing BASEBALL! Yay, fun. If you too would like to escape this reality and enter into our fantasy world of baseball, come on out to the Youth Centre at 7p.m. Bring your mitt and bat or use ours, it's all the same to us.

For those who are so inclined to avoid sports this glorious evening, there will be a ROCKBAND TOURNAMENT. I don't know about you but I'm in the mood for a little Pearl Jam...ssssoooo good! Albeit, we will never be quite as good as Mr. Vedder but we can still rock it.

Laters :-)

WEDNESDAY MAY 30, 2012

Our brain boost activity for the afternoon will be CRANIUM.

And back by popular demand the evening event will be a PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT. Get a team together and see if you can decipher Cat's crazy clues...there may or may not be a little something something for the winning team! So put those heads together and make it happen.

Another favorite tonight...BALANCE & FLEXIBILITY TESTS. It got pretty funny last time but we learnt some cool beans poses, let's see how we can outdo ourselves this time.

and...and...AND...................a field trip to GALAXY THEATRE GUELPH, woohooo!! Bring your greenery ($$) and a permission form and you too could be driving to this most exotic destination. That's right folks, you read it correctly. The YC will be enjoying some cinematic theatre at the prestigious Galaxy Theatre in Guelph. Your departure time is set for 6:30 p.m. Going to be a bucket of fun, a bucket of popcorn that is.

Laters :)

B-E-A-utiful face or design something to adorn someone elses face...maybe a special someone.

Laters, YC blog readers :)

THURSDAY MAY 24, 2012

We sure do miss jamming with Bob on Thursday nights but the music lives on in his absence. So, as you might have guessed, today's brain boost activity will be PLAYING GUITAR. Come play us a ditty, maybe your favorite tune.Can't wait to hear what those fingers can do => that was unintentional but cool nevertheless :-)

Our evening event will be a thrilling round of TRIVIA! Your smart and you know it, so show off some of that intelligence.

Depending on the weather, we will be getting active by WALKING/RUNNING THE OUTSIDE TRACK. If the weather is working against us, we will be walking the indoor track. Let's get those bodies moving, one step at a time.

And since we love you ssssooo much and we know you love us too, we have got a special activity planned tonight! At 6:30 p.m. we will be embarking on a trip to the pet store to get supplies for our creature friends. Have you met our fishy friends yet? If not, tonight is the night to come by and check them out.

Well folks this is Anna signing off. Hope to see you at the Youth Centre soon because, quite frankly, I'm too cool not to know and I'm sure you are too!

WEDNESDAY MAY 23, 2012

Our brain boost activity for the afternoon will be an exciting game of BACKGAMMON.

Have you ever done anything? Haha, trick question I know. Since you have done at least one thing in your lifetime and I suspect you have actually done like a gazillion things come on in to the YC to play the "ANYONE WHO" game! Let's learn some interesting tid bits of information about each other, like has anyone ever hugged a polar bear? The only way you'll find out is by playing

To get our bodies moving we will be skipping rope tonight! Got some mad skills? Why not show them off? We'd love to see them.

Last but certainly not least there will be a SURPRISE TRIP tonight. It's going to be crazy cool but that's all I can reveal for now. Your mission, if you choose to accept, will be to join us as we go on this adventure of wickedness. You up for it?

Anna & Cat can't wait to see you at the Youth Centre!

TUESDAY MAY 22, 2012

Did you survive the long weekend? We hope you had fun, we most definitely did!! Now it's time to get back to normal life...which is pretty awesome in and of its self :-)

FRIDAY MAY 18, 2012

Our brain boost activity today is SMARTYPANTS. Don't know what that is? Neither do I but come on in to the YC after school and find out.

Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can! Can he swing from a thread? Take a look overhead. Hey, there. There goes the Spiderman. Unleash your inner Spiderman. Today at 6:30 p.m. Anna will be taking the Youth Centre to GRAND RIVER ROCKS, a rock climbing gym in Kitchener. Come and challenge yourself. Maybe pretend your Spiderman! See how high you can climb, you'll love it. Make sure to have your permission form and money, the cost to YC members is $10.00, an incredible deal folks :)

For those of our lovely members who prefer not to ruin their fingers and nails rock climbing but would rather beautify, we will be doing MANICURES this evening. Bring your own polish or use some of ours. Must bring own finger nails though...hahaha, obviously!

At 7:00 p.m. there will be a DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION.

It's the long weekend and Anna and Cat hope you have a rockin' time but we implore you to be safe and make good decisions. Have fun but be careful, we really want to see you on Tuesday (in one piece preferably)

Finally, to end the week we will be getting comfy on the couches and bean bag chairs and watching a movie.There may or may not, but definitely will be, some yummy popcorn. So why not cap off the week here at the Youth Centre with some crazy awesome activities and people.

Let's get pumping (said in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice while flexing)!!
