FRIDAY NOVEMBER 30, 2012

It's Friday, the day between Thursday and Saturday. And it also happens to be the neatest day that is not a weekend. So funnnn, isn't it? That was not a rhetorical question people. I want to hear you shout it out loud: FRIDAY IS FUNNNN. Sometimes it just feels so good to shout. So with it being firmly established that Friday's are the ultimate fun-ness to be had during the work week, you might be interested in knowing what kind of amazingness we have planned for you. To welcome the beginning of the weekend, you will be given the opportunity to learn and practice ORIGAMI. So mosey on over to the YC after you leave your respected educational institution to learn this traditional Japanese paper craft.

At 6:30 p.m. Anna is going BOWLING. Just bring $10.00 and you too can join the bowling fun. Will it be 5 pin, 10 pin, glow in the dark or just a plain old good time? The only way to find out is to join in.

At 8:30 p.m. we are testing your cores. We've blasted them in the past so today it's finally time to test your strength and endurance. I do so love me some planks, so I hereby propose a PLANK CONTEST.

And to end a pretty neat week, we will be playing KINECT ADVENTURES.

Hope y'all have a splendid good time this weekend. Spend time outside and with some neat people. But come back to us in one happy and healthy piece on Tuesday, ya hear?!?!

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2012


We are getting our game on by playing BINGO and Wii SMARTYPANTS, also commonly referred to as Wii Intelligent Pantaloons. Oh pantaloons, what a wonderful word you are! I think we as a society should entirely ditch such a tiresome word as pants and replace it by exclusively referring to our bottomly coverings as pantaloons! Yes, a reformation is in order. Hear ye, hear ye...we here at the Youth Centre will immediately discontinue all use of the word pants (blah, doesn't it just leave a bad taste in your mouth?!?!) Instead, we of immense grace and eloquence will only refer to the aforementioned as pantaloons (isn't that better? It just flows off the tongue). 

And at 7:00 p.m. we are learning to shake and move our bodies by trying out Zumba!! Cat will be joining you in this awesome exploration of movement, so that is practically a guarantee that you will have a blast. And listen up young members, the cost is only $8. So grab some money and gym clothes and come Zumba it up.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2012

Do you make art? Because we here at the Youth Centre like to make art! And on the program today? Fractal Drawings!! No idea what that is? Oh you do know what it is, well aren't you a smarty party. To recap, our brain boost this fine Monday will be I MAKE ART: FRACTAL DRAWINGS. Can't wait to see what sort of geometrical magic you lovelies create. And if you in fact have no idea what on earth I'm talking about then come figure it out with us.

At 7:00 p.m. our very own Cat will be hiking to EDSS (it's a joke guys, EDSS is literally a one minute walk away). EDSS GYM: BADMINTON will surely be fun fun, so make sure you come hang with us.

And to end the evening we will be having a jolly good time with KARAOKE & STAND UP COMEDY.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 23, 2012

For our brain boost today we are going to PLAY THE PIANO (well keyboard to be more accurate).

At 7:00 p.m. Cat will be packing up her swimsuit, water wings and towel and heading to the PUBLIC SWIM IN ELMIRA. You, too, can join her with your water wings at the very low cost of $2.50.

And the evening event will be KINECT SPORTS. That's it, that's all. A relaxed day but it is Friday after all.

So as is my custom, please stay safe and smart this weekend. Have fun but don't do anything I wouldn't approve of. Got it?!?!

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2012

We're throwing down here at the Youth Centre. How so? By having a CHESS TOURNAMENT no doubt! So boost your brain by playing chess with a worthy adversary.

At 7:00 p.m. Anna will be leading BOYS ROUND TABLE. So bring your boyish selves down to the YC and let us talk about whatever troubles you or whatever pleases you or basically whatever. You see, the thing is we're not overly concerned about what we talk about. Really, we just want you to talk about anything that you feel like talking about, get it? Most likely there will be grapes and perhaps a sweet little treat to accompany our most in depth conversation.

At 8:00 p.m. we will be positioning ourselves in front of the big screen and attempting some YOGA by way of DVD instruction.

And finally the evening event will be of the girly variety (so obviously Anna won't be leading that one!). MANICURES. We are doing our nails. Should be fun.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 21, 2012

Neature is neat, no argument there. And because we love neature and we want to make a positive difference   by helping neature we are going to MAKE A BIRD FEEDER. Yes, we are feeding the little critters that live in neature.

At 7:00 p.m. we are having a PUSH-UP COMPETITION. Now I'm going to be a stickler with form. I don't want to see any butts waving high up in the air and hip thrusts are definitely not considered proper push-ups. I want to see nice solid cores which will allow for proper push-up form. And your arms have to bend, preferably to a right angle (that's 90 degrees). Yep I want full range of motion. And if your not feeling mighty powerful then you can put your knees down for added assistance but I still want to see proper form. Now let's see how many you can push out!! Ready, set, go....burns so good, right?!?!

Also at 7:00 p.m. there will be GIRLS ROUND TABLE. Cat's hosting this one, so bring your awesome selves into the YC and all members with XX (that's you girls) chromosomes are encouraged to participate.

And finally for our evening event we are going old school. How, you ask! Well, we are playing SUPER NINTENDO MARIO WORLD.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2012

I've got mad game, there's no disputing it but did you know I also have MAD LIBS? Yes, indeed I do. You should check if you have Mad Libs too! To do so one must simply come to the YC after school, we open at 3 p.m., and join the mad Mad Lib fun.

At 5:00 p.m. Anna will be completely and utterly embarassing herself. You can witness this spectacle firsthand or you can try your hips at the art of hula yourself. It's going to be an event for sure, so make sure your around for our HULA HOOPS CONTEST.

The YC is going on a trip to GALAXY THEATRE to entertain ourselves with a piece of cinematic art, also commonly referred to as a movie. We will be leaving at 6:15. Make sure you bring your permission form and $$.

And to end the week we will be having an AIR HOCKEY TOURNAMENT. Do you think you can hack it?

It's suppose to be a beaut out there this weekend so make sure to get out and enjoy neature. And be safe and smart but remember to have fun and live life to the fullest.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2012

You have the letters B, C, E, B, S, A, B, L and R. What kind of word could you possible come up with using such an array of letters? Well SCRABBLE of course. Yes indeed, the brain boost today is SCRABBLE. Funnnn.

At 3:30 Cat will be going ICE SKATING, you should def join her! All you have to do is bring $2.00, skates, a helmet and warm skating type clothing (so obviously you should sport some shorts and a tank, cause everyone knows ice is hot! No wait, I think I got that backwards...let me think. Fire=hot, ice=cold...oh right! Ok, scratch the shorts and tank and maybe opt for warm pants and a coat. Yes that seems more appropriate). So remember: money, skates, helmet and warm bodily coverings.

At 7:00 p.m. we will be having a YOUTH COUNCIL MEETING. All representatives are expected to attend with a smile and chipper attitude (I know you are always just lovely but sometimes a ever so gently reminder is not so bad).

And finally, our evening event is CRANIUM. So get your humming lips, drawing hands and thinking caps ready cause it's going down, Cranium style. Ohhh yeah, better watch out.

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY! Need I say more? No.


haha but I will fill you in on some of the details. BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY VIDEOS. Really, do you really need to know anything more? No, you really don't. Afterall, it's Bill Nye. I bet you can hear the song in your right now. Come in to the YC for our brain boost activity of BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY VIDEOS and then you can hear the song for realsies and see the science guy known as Bill Nye. My word, I'm awesome.

We are hoping to have a special guest for our evening event. No guarantees though. But maybe if you cross your fingers real tight and wish hopeful thoughts it might happen. Do it. NOW! So, if all goes as planned and all our hoping and wishing pays off we will be making a HOLIDAY CRAFT WITH KARYN.

And finally to get our feet, bums, hands and heads moving we will be playing DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION at 8:00 p.m. EVERYBODY DANCE NOW, bomp bomp bomp bomp bomp bomp. You can here it, you know you can.

Laters :)

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 13, 2012

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9, 2012

It's Friday and it's also a PD Day! Lucky you. You have the entire day to do just as you wish, what a luxury. So, since I imagine your going to have an incredibly lazy morning, we've got a pretty chill afternoon planned too. First we will be playing UNO. At 6:00 p.m. Cat will be leading a LEARN TO JUGGLE instruction session. Around 6:30 p.m., your tummies will probably be grumbling and rumbling, so you can BUY A SLICE OF PIZZA, only $2.00 a slice. Nom nom, pizza is so yummy. And finally we will be finding a comfy spot somewhere close to the TV and watching a MOVIE while enjoying some POPCORN. Seriously, that's one awesome day we have planned for you.

Enjoy your weekend and make sure to stay safe while making healthy and intelligent decisions.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 8, 2012

At 3:30 sharp Cat will be embarking on an AUTUMN TRAIL WALK. Join her and appreciate all the neature that surrounds us. Neature makes me very happy and if you give it a chance I bet it will make you happy too! But remember that neature can be cold and dangerous, so make sure to dress properly and wear appropriate footwear. Meanwhile, Anna will be rocking the afternoon at the YC! That's right, Anna will be out during the daylight (shocking I know). And how will I be spending these most precious daylight hours? Well, I think I will play some MONOPOLY. After the supper break, around 6:30 p.m. there will be a SIT-UP COMPETITION. And to end a perfectly delightful day we will be having ourselves a little POOL TOURNAMENT.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 7, 2012

Ok, how is it November? Like seriously?!?! I'm pretty sure my mind and body are still completely in agreement that it is in fact June. Yes, somehow I have traveled in time! I am not sure how I managed such a feat but apparently I have! If only I could understand how this happened, I would be famous. But alas I don't. But seriously, I'm slightly concerned by the nature of time and how quickly it passes. It's scary and disheartening really. Ok, I'm done but surely you agree with me?! And you know what? It will be Christmas before we know it and then spring will be just around the corner and you know what comes after spring?!? SUMMER! So yes, I plan to jump from summer to summer, making short stops at the other seasons just to enjoy the very best of them. Yep, that's my plan.

So somehow I got very distracted. I'll try and concentrate now. So today we will be having both our JUNIOR and SENIOR ROUND TABLES. Our SENIOR ROUND TABLE will be in the afternoon during our brain boost time slot. And the JUNIOR ROUND TABLE will be held during the evening event. At 7:00 p.m. we will be getting fit by playing KINECT DANCE. And we have an extra craft planned today too. We will be making a REMEMBRANCE DAY POPPY CRAFT.

Ok readers, that's it that's all.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 6, 2012

I have safely returned! Did you miss me? Oh, who am I kidding? Of course you missed me!! So today is Tuesday, all day long. For our brain boost activity we will be GLUING A PUZZLE ONTO A FRAME. That's right. Do you remember that crazy huge Television History puzzle the YC tackled in no time? Well, we are finally proudly displaying our efforts. Thus, we are gluing the puzzle onto a frame.

At 7:00 p.m. Anna will be taking the group to the EDSS gym to play BASKETBALL/BUMP.

And our evening event this evening (ha, see what I did there?) will be ROCKBAND TOUR CHALLENGES.

So come in and chill out with us? Or should I say, come in and warm up with us?!?! Although, truth be told it feels pretty warm out there compared to climates I've been privy to this past week.
