Wowwee The End is Near

Hello Youth Centre Blog readers!

It's the end of the month as we know it and I feel fine!

It's already half way through the very last week of September and we have some events that you don't want to miss.

Thursday Sept 26 we have the game of "Clue" happening at 4:00 pm with Cat.  Maybe it will be dress up Clue! That means you can scrounge up some items from our Dress Up box to impersonate your character from the game! Sounds exciting doesn't it?!  We also have a "Crystal Clear" presentation from Jenn, a Mary Kay representative, who will teach us all about our facial routines in the morning. She may also help us determine what type of skin we all have! Everyone is unique and different and that's something she will help us discover.

Friday Sept 27 this day marks the end of September and we hope you will share with us some memorable moments you had from your very first month of school.  At the Youth Centre this evening we will be playing Wii Trivial Pursuit at 4:00 pm with Cat and at 7:00 pm I (that's me, Brynna) will be putting in an awesome movie and will be making some popcorn.  The members, that's you guys, will be able to suggest a Youth Centre appropriate movie to watch with me! I will also bring in a couple that I think some of you may want to watch. 

The staff from Woolwich Youth Centre would like to say good bye to the month of September and we hope you come and check out the Youth Centre!  Come out and visit us in October because we have an exciting month planned for y'all!

Cheers folks,

Brynna and the YC Staff!

FRIDAY MAY 3, 2013

The time has come...this is my very last Youth Centre blog entry! Please try and control yourself, we knew the time would be soon upon us. I even warned you, but I do understand...I'm just that amazing. But in all seriousness, this is my last post. It has been a new experience for me (this blog thing that is) and it was totally fun! I'd like to think that you, my mystery readers, also enjoyed it. I tried to keep you entertained with my wit. And not only is this my last post, tomorrow is my last day! But like I mentioned before, I will come back and volunteer...in fact, I think I'm already scheduled late in May. See, it will only be a short time before you see my beautiful face again.

Soooo, what's on the agenda tomorrow? Well, since you asked...at 4:00 we are playing BATTLESHIP...and I bet I will reign supreme (and if I don't, maybe you should let me because it is my last day, hehe, see what I did there?). Then at 7:00 we are rockin' out with some ROCK BAND. Oh Rock Band, I will rock you! Yep. And finally at 7:30 we are hopefully going swimming at WATERLOO SWIMPLEX. All you have to do is bring your permission form and $5. That's it, pretty easy stuff.

Like I said earlier, it has been a pleasure. I will definitely miss the YC and writing this blog but not to worry because I will never be too far (except when I am, hehe).

So, this is Anna signing off one last time......

Laters :)

WEDNESDAY MAY 1, 2013

It's May Day!!! How exciting, it's just too bad Canadians don't celebrate it. But really, can you believe it is already May?!?! One could hardly tell by the weather...seriously it's pure craziness. Anyway, getting back to the important stuff...we are unofficially celebrating the first day of May. How do we plan to do this? Well, since you asked...we are going to READ, WRITE, RECITE POETRY at 4:00...oh, oh, oh...I have a thought...your poetry could be all about May! Aren't I smart? No need to answer, as it is obviously a rhetorical question.

At 6:30 we are living wild by playing HIPPIE HORSESHOES.

And what kind of unofficial celebration would it be without food? Soooo, we are continuing with WAFFLE WEDNESDAYS...only $0.25/waffle...a bargin people! And you even have your choice of blueberry or chocolate chip...amazing! We'd love to see you here to not officially welcome May.

And a bit of news...you might want to get some tissue ready because I'm about to break your heart, and I apologize in advance for all the heart breakage...I still love you! I have submitted my resignation as your neatest and most loved Youth Worker. It has been tons of fun and I'm so grateful to take away so many memories but life is taking me in another direction. But don't get too upset because Cat will still be here and I plan on volunteering, just like I did before I worked here...kind of a full circle thing. My last day will be this Friday May 3! On Thursday May 2, we will be having the most sensational goodbye party for me...or the tiniest shindig...we will just have to see how it turns out, after all, it's all up to you! So come say farewell.

At 6:30 we will be embarking (a fancy word meaning "to leave") to VOLUNTEER TRAINING with Karyn somewhere in the big city town. This is for all of our wonderful youth members who so graciously (but only after a little extra convincing on my part) volunteered to help with the Waterloo Marathon. I'm nowhere near ready, how about you? Been practicing your water hand-off skills? Oh my, 21.1km here I come (if I have too, which apparently I do).

At 7:00 there will be a POOL TOURNAMENT.

At 6:30 there is a trip to Galaxy...and I don't mean an out of our world, space-like galaxy (like Andromeda)...no, I mean GALAXY THEATRE. To watch a mooooooovie. We'll drive and even sit with you, all you have to do is bring back your permission form and make sure you have enough money to buy a ticket ($10).

At 8:00, we shall be telling GHOST STORIES IN THE DARK.

It's a P.A. Day!!! Aren't you just thrilled? I know you are. And we even have a few fun things for you to do today.

Unfortunately, due to lack of interest, we have cancelled the Walmart & Dollarama shopping trip scheduled for 3:15. Sorry.

But don't fret, as we still have fun things to do. At 4:00 we are going to play CRANIUM.

At 6:30 we are driving anyone who has brought back a permission form to the KIDS DANCE in Breslau ($5)

And I am very excited to announce that at 7:00 we are doing FANCY MANICURES BY HEATHER! Super exciting. We have been admiring Heather's talents for quite some time, as she has painted several members nails before (she's one of our members mom and a neighbor to other members). So help us welcome Heather for the evening and get your nails done. Too fun.

Finally, we will be watching MOVIES and enjoying POPCORN. Sounds just about perfect to me.

Be safe out there! We want to see your beautiful faces here on Tuesday, got it?

TUESDAY APRIL 2, 2013

April. April. April...April. Can you believe it's already April? I feel the need to repeat it to myself for fear that it is simply not true. We are this close to summer, I can feel it in my bones. It's even kind of warming up. Amazing! On this most lovely second day of April, we will be MAKING A SNACK WITH ANNA at 7:00 p.m. and at 8 p.m. you can WALK THE TRACK WITH CAT.

THURSDAY MARCH 28, 2013

Our last day of March here at the Youth Centre...should I give you a moment to collect yourself?!? I know it was a shock to me, after all how could March possibly be over? Time seems to pass with great speed these days. How can this be? Has time been altered or is it merely my perception...so much to consider. Hhhmmmmmmm....that was me pondering. I cam up with nothing, how about you? Anywho....today is in fact the final day of March as far as the YC is concerned because we are closed tomorrow for Good Friday, we will see you again on Tuesday April 2.

But back to today...at 3:30 grab your swim trunks and your flippy floppys. Oh and it is imperative that you do not forget your nautical themed pashmina afghan...because we are going SKATING ($2). Ha, did I get you? You thought we were going swimming didn't you? I got you good. I mean your welcome to wear your swim trunks and afghan skating, really, why not wear them? But you should remember your skates as well. Oh I just had a lovely idea: skating while wearing flippers. Pure genius. Really, I'm astonished that MIT hasn't recruited me.

At 4, for those neat enough to join us skating, we are having SKATING RACES. You can get Go 4 Gold stickers!

Also at 4:00 p.m. we will be chillin' while playin' Wii SMARTYPANTS...so MIT, did you lose my number?

And finally, to welcome "spring" (notice the quotes, because I do not believe spring has arrived. No, I think it was a cruel and nasty joke the calendar played on us) we will PLANT A GARDEN. This activity costs $1.00.   

Have a great long weekend, the sweetest of weekends, and here's hoping the weather is nice.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 27, 2013

At 4:00 we are getting our science on. How does one accomplish such a thing you ask? Well, it requires careful guidance. So bring yourself over to the YC and we will conduct MINI SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS. Fun, right?!?!

At 7:00 it's another double billing: Wii MARIO PARTY and 2 vs. 2 POOL TOURNAMENT

Hope to see you here, and remember we are open from 3 pm to 10 pm.

Laters :)

TUESDAY MARCH 26, 2013

Yo, yo, yo youth! We've got a fun day for you. At 4:00 we are playing RUSH HOUR, and let me tell you I am thrilled that it is only a game of intelligence and not the real thing because I was stuck in Toronto traffic last week which was unbelievable! I much prefer the game as opposed to the real thing, anyday! At 6:30 get your swimsuits and flippy floppys ready because we're going SWIMMING. At 7:00, for those who go swimming, we have SWIMMING RACES as part of our Go 4 Gold. And finally, if that wasn't already a pretty stellar day, we are having a WAFFLE DINNER at 8:00, becayse yesterday was National Waffle Day and any excuse to eat waffles, right?!?!?

Hope your enjoying this lovely spring type weather, shouldn't be much longer. And I simply refuse to acknowledge any weather information the interweb or any other source tries to sell me, after all there will NOT be snow this week.

Laters :)

THURSDAY MARCH 21, 2013

At 4:00 we are playing MASTERMIND, this is your chance to stump us! Create such an amazing puzzle that we will never be able to figure it out. And go....

At 6:30 we've got the good ol' game of HIPPIE HORSESHOES planned. It's a Go 4 Gold event, so make sure to participate and hopefully get stickers! It might just land you this weeks winnings (which happen to include some edibles).

At 7:30 we have a double billing. Yes, both DRAWING and JUNIOR ROUND TABLE will commence at that hour. The topic of the round table and this whole year will be RESPECT! So we will be thinking of things like "How can you show respect?", "Who do you respect?", "Why should we respect?", etc, etc...you get the idea. So come ready to chat about respect. Note: every time you read or say the word "respect" it should probably be said like Don Vito Corleone, just saying.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 20, 2013

It's the first day of spring! Can you believe we made it through winter? Although I want to celebrate and do a little happy dance, it's hard to get in the spirit when it is currently snowing out. Really snow?!? We've had enough, your welcome to take your leave now.

We have a busy day today. At 4:00 it's LET'S PLAY CARDS. At 6:30 we have a TWISTER TOURNAMENT planned. At 7:00 KARYN IS COMING TO VISIT, and we will be welcoming back our new volunteer...so be nice! And finally at 8:00 we've got ROCKBAND (cue amazing air guitar performance). See, I told you it was a busy one. If we keep ourselves busy maybe the snow will go away and spring will take it's place.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 13, 2013

LEARN TO PLAY CHESS! Believe it or not, I don't know how to play chess. But you can avoid a fate as unfortunate as mine simply by coming into the YC today to learn how to play chess. Now, (obviously) I won't be teaching you but Cat has the best chess skills around these parts of town. So come in and learn and play and maybe challenge a worthy opponent.

7 is the hour at the Youth Centre. We've got a 1 vs 1 POOL TOURNAMENT as part of Go 4 Gold and on top of that we're playing Wii MARIO KART. Holy fun Batman...I know.

With the saddest regrets I have to announce that The Wizard of Oz musical trip has been cancelled due to lack of interest. Sorry to those who wanted to go.

Laters :)

TUESDAY MARCH 12, 2013

MARCH BREAK...you lucky ducks! I'm trés jealous.  So today, we've got EGG & SPOON RACES at 7:00 p.m. It's part of our Go 4 Gold initiative, so let us get moving and maybe win prizes, oh yeah! At 7:30 we are walking over to THE ROBIN'S NEST to enjoy MUSIC NIGHT, soy decaf cappucino anybody? Yes, please.

And to conclude this day of March, the 12th day to be exact, we will be rocking GUITAR HERO. I must practice my drumming and guitar skills.

Laters :)

FRIDAY MARCH 8, 2013

Not to fret, your dearest Cat is back to her full shift today! But you have to admit it was good times we had here at the YC, just you lovely youth and me, the greatest youth worker ever! Yes, good times, good times.

At 4:00p.m. you can adorn your wrist with the KNOT & BEAD BRACELETS we will be creating.

At 6:15, if the weather cooperates of course, we will be having DISTANCE SNOW THROWS.

At 7:00 we will be watching the MOVIE "THE WIZARD OF OZ".

And as it is once again Friday, be safe and smart. But have fun.

THURSDAY MARCH 7, 2013

How can it already be March? Don't get me wrong, I'm completely in favor of it, I simply can't believe how quickly time passes. It must be all the cool things we do here at the YC. The birds will be chirping, the sun shining and the sweet warm wind will be blowing before much longer...lovely, just lovely. Okay, enough mushy poetry.

This Thursday Cat will be continuing her training and as such you get Anna all day long! Your beyond elated, I know.

At 4:00 p.m. you can try your hand at BACKGAMMON. If you don't already know how to play, come on by and I will teach you. It's a fun game.

At 7:00 p.m. we will be having YOUTH COUNCIL, all Youth Council Reps are expected to attend so please ensure your there. After all, this is the place you get to make decisions about what you will be doing at the YC. It's your opportunity to make a difference for yourself, other members and the YC at large. And I know your super bright with lots of novel ideas, so share with the rest of us. Great, glad we settled that.

Finally, to end the evening we will be having an AIR HOCKEY TOURNAMENT at 8:00 p.m.

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 28, 2013

CAT & KELSEY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! This is obviously the most important thing and nothing else should be off any concern to you. 







Alright, maybe there are a few things that still need to be said. At 3:30, so basically right after school, we are playing MASTERMIND. 

At 5:30, if anyone is interested and brings back their permission form and $15.00, Anna is taking you to CHICOPEE for TUBING. Common, let's make this one happen, ya?!?!?

And at 7:00 p.m. Brynna will be leading a POOL TOURNAMENT.

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 27, 2013

Howdy ho, blog readers! What's new in your world? Want to know what we've got planned for you, our finest followers ever? I am going to break it down for you!

At 3:30 or 1530h military time, we are trying to MIMIC A MASTER: ART...so, that means it's craft time here at the YC! We want you to bring all those creative ideas that are just bubbling and express them in a masterpiece, created in the style of a master. Last time it was Picasso, who knows who we will mimic this time. Hint, hint...it's Monet.

And we are trying something new tonight! At 6:30 you can BRING FOOD & EAT TOGETHER with us. Kind of like a picnic at the YC. Instead of eating at home, like you do every day, pack your food up and join us at the big gray table as we enjoy "supper/dinner" together. We're the best company in town, and basically like family! But you do need to bring your own edibles.

To end this most lovely YC day, we are playing XBox KINECT SPORTS at 1900h. Yep, good times.

Hope you'll join us.

Laters :)

At 4:00, we are having some good old fashioned fun with BOARD GAMES GALORE. I mean, could family day really happen without family board games? Of course not!!

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 14, 2013

We love our Youth! It's true. Hope you love us back. I mean, let's be serious, what's not to love?!?! I'm about as lovely and cool beans as they come and my girl Cat is equally as awesome. So why not spend today, more specifically, this day of Valentinus with us? Exactly, there is no good reason not to.

So, how do we celebrate Valentine's Day here at the Youth Centre?

At 4:00 p.m. there will be VALENTINE'S DAY TRIVIA. So you might want to do a little looking and find out some info about Valentine's Day. For example, did you know that it was not until the 15th century that Valentine's Day began to be associated with romantic expressions between couples?

At 5:00 p.m. Cat will be hosting a tutorial: LEARN TO JUGGLE. If you do not have a Valentine, perhaps you can catch one by learning to juggle and displaying your mad skills?

At 7:00 p.m. we have a CUPCAKE DECORATING CONTEST. Create a most sophisticated piece of sugary art to give to someone special or eat yourself. Really, I think that would be classified as a win, win.

And to wind our festivities down for the night, we have SILLY GAMES FOR SILLY PRIZES at 8:00 p.m.

Hope you can join us.

Laters :)

Tuesday, February 12, 2013

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 13, 2013

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 6, 2013

At 4 pm we are sailing the high seas and trying to avoid danger. Try your best to strategically place all your ships out of your opponents range, but it is inevitable that your battleship will be sunk. Cheer up buccaneer, it happens to the most skilled sailors. Don't forget to pack your life-vest in case of emergencies....oh wait, it's just pretend! Come join our most thrilling game of BATTLESHIP.

At 6:15 get your bodies pumped for a 5-4-3-2-1 WORKOUT. "Pump up the jam, pump it up, while your feet are stompin', and the jam is pumpin', look at here the crowd is jumpin'..." I'm sorry, I just had too!

Guess who is coming in for a visit?!?! It's Karyn! But hold your excitement, because it's not just any old visit...no, she has an activity planned for you. So make sure your here at 7:00 pm to CRAFT WITH KARYN. Good times.

THURSDAY JANUARY 31, 2013

Well, we did it! We made it through January. Good job everyone. Onto February, the month of love (gag I now). LOL, it's just too fun to tease you.

For our last day in January, we are watching NATURE VIDEOS at 3:30.

6:30 SNOW SPRINTS are CANCELLED! Seriously, can we talk about the sheer and absolute craziness that is this weather?!?! I'm scared for our planet, this is not normal. Sooo, we are going to have to think of something equally as fun to do. Maybe RAIN SPRINTS? I don't know, what are your ideas?

Anyway, at 7:30 we are getting our smart on by playing CRANIUM. Yes that right, I said "getting our smart on"!

And, and, and...today YOUTH COUNCIL ELECTIONS start! So make your voice heard, cast your vote.

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 23, 2012

At 4:00 p.m. we are going crazy, care to join us? It's simple really, just come and check out all the amazing and awesome things we have going on at the YC. That's all you have to do. Once that is complete you will discover that you have also gone slightly (or maybe not so slightly) crazy. Or if that option doesn't appeal to you, you can just play CRAZY 8's with us. Easier, yes but where is the fun in that. You know you want to go crazy, just do it already!

At 6:45 we will be going on a WINTER WALK. Make sure to dress warmly and wear proper shoes, maybe something with good traction. Seriously, dress well! Neature can still be fun even in this crazy cold winter temperatures, you just have to ensure your prepared adequately.

Kiwanis Key Club is coming to Elmira and we are hosting an information session here at the YC at 7:00 p.m. If you attend this meeting, you are entered into a draw to win a $15.00 Subway card.

Also at 7:00 p.m. we are getting just a bit crazier by having a CROKINOLE TOURNAMENT. Do we know how to party or what?

At 6:30 Anna will be headed to GALAXY THEATRE, Conestoga Mall to watch a moving picture, or as you young people refer to it, a "movie". Permission forms are required and it costs $10.00. Soooo, let's make this one happen, ya?!?!

And finally, at 7 p.m. we will be ending our evening with Wii BOWLING TOURNEY.

Yep, that's it for today.

FRIDAY JANUARY 18, 2013

Look outside!!!! It's snowing! But unfortunately, it's not enough for any real winter fun.

At 4:00, for our after-school segment of the day, we are playing MONOPOLY.

At 6:45, we are suppose to have SNOWPANTS RACES, but there may or may not be enough snow. It's is currently snowing, so let us remain hopeful.

And to end this most Friday-ish of Fridays, we are closing the Youth Centre down for the weekend, but not before we rock out to some GUITAR HERO.

It's snowing, and some of you can drive independently, so I'm going to get all Uncle Ben on you: "With great power comes great responsibility". Yes, driving a 4000 lb. speed machine at 80+ km, can be dangerous. Not only to you but also to everyone else on the road. But I know you are waaaayyyy to smart and caring to make any stupid decisions. Just remember to be smart and careful, pretty please with a cherry on top. Otherwise, enjoy your weekend.

THURSDAY JANUARY 17, 2012

I am a mastermind. To even consider arguing this fact would be absurd and an utter waste of oxygen. And, as I know all you YC youth are far to smart to ever consider disputing that fact, I will get to the point, saving you all the details of my absolute genius...we are playing MASTERMIND at 4:00 p.m. It is a game of strategy and analysis...so in other words, ridiculously fun!

At 6:45 p.m. we are headed outside to enjoy the snow, depending of course on the weather! Come and BUILD A SNOW FORT with us (fingers crossed we get a massive blizzard over night and accumulate a whack ton of snow, otherwise we have some improvising to do). If we are lucky enough to get snow, we could use your creativity and muscle. If we are not lucky, and there is no snow (sad panda), we will need your crazy and fun ideas of what to do instead. 

POOL TOURNAMENT at 7:30 p.m., be there or be a rectangle...you know, like a pool table. Oh yeah, our black 8 ball is still missing. If you know anything about what has happened to our poor black 8 ball please let us know. Hard to play a proper game of pool without it. It really just wants to come back home and see it's ball brothers and sisters again.

Today is also the day our Youth Council nominations start. Soooo, if you think someone should be part of our Youth Council, consider nominating them or nominate yourself! The Youth Council gets to help plan and make important decisions regarding the YC. It's a great way to have a say and make a difference in this place you love so much. Hopefully you consider it. Come and talk to Anna and/or Cat for more info.

Laters :)

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 16, 2012

It's a great day to come check us out! For more information, contact Anna or Cat

TUESDAY JANUARY 15, 2012

DODGEBALL! Only one of the funnest games on earth. That's right, I'm a big fan of throwing balls at people. But don't fear, my aim needs much work. A while ago, I even met someone who participated in the World Dodgeball Championships in Las Vegas (yes, it's a real thing...I looked it up). Come along with us as we go to the EDSS gym to play dodgeball. Who knows, maybe you'll one day have the honor of attending the World Championships and reign supreme in the dodgeball community! We are headed over around 7:00 p.m. if your interested in joining.

At 7:30 p.m. we will be MAKING BEESWAX CANDLES. Beeswax candles are great! They are natural, fragrance free and environmentally friendly (although they are not considered vegan). They are a powerful candle, so why not come and make one for FREE here at the Youth Centre?!?!

It's a bit of a special day here at the Youth Centre. We are only open from 3-5 p.m. Yes you read that correctly and I know it makes you very sad indeed but do not fret, as we are back to regular hours tomorrow! So "What's with the funky hours?" you ask! Well, it's the WCS Staff Christmas and Cat and Anna are going. You'll miss us terribly I know but alas, it's simply one evening and you will see us again on Thursday.

TUESDAY JANUARY 8, 2013

Your back to school! I'm sure your super excited...but remember that you can never be overdressed or over-educated. So when your feeling a little gloomy about your school work or classes, just picture the incredibly exciting life you want in the future and realize all your hard work will eventually lead to that life. So work hard now to enjoy everything you dream of in the future. Okay, I'll quit with the inspirational stuff.

So back to the matter at hand, our Tuesday happenings! So...our after school program this fine day is BUILD A CARD HOUSE. And for whatever reason, and I have absolutely no idea where it stems from, I expect some foul play during this challenge. So, I'm setting up the rules right now...no sabotaging or attempted sabotage of other peoples card houses, you hear!?!?! Let's just respect each other and have fun. Got that!?!?

7:00 p.m. is the hour at the YC today. We've got some DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION and EDSS GYM for SOCCER. It will be a difficult decision to make.

Wednesday, January 2, 2013

THURSDAY JANUARY 3, 2013

It's just a gaming kind of day here at the Youth Centre. The first game we will play will be Wii JEOPARDY. So come on over at 4:00 p.m. to play. Around 6:30 we will be bundling up in our warmest cold weather gear and heading outside to brave the elements while also playing OUTDOOR BALL HOCKEY! Just make sure to dress warm enough, layers are always a good idea. And finally at 7:00 we are hitting our comfy couches to play SPORTS VIDEO GAMES. Relaxed but so much fun. Come chill with us.

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 2, 2013

It's officially a new year folks! 2012 is over and we have ushered in 2013. We here at the Youth Centre are super excited to have the whole year ahead of us. The unlimited possibilities are just so vast and thrilling. Are you as excited as we are? You should be!

But, since the holidays just ended and you lucky ducks are not back to your regular school schedules yet, we thought we would ease you, very gently, into the extreme awesomeness that we have planned for January.  Today at 4pm the game UNO will be played. At 6:15 Anna will be running a PUSH-UP CONTEST...and you can even win a prize! So let's get our bellies to the ground and push our way through as many as we can handle.And by "we" I totally and completely mean you.  But, before you turn and run because I have asked you to exercise...there is a prize for the person able to do the most push-ups! And at 7:30, we are having a POOL TOURNAMENT...for a prize! I know, I know, we are just so good to you...but the honest truth is that you deserve it for being our cool youth. Hoorah for everyone. Oh my, the spirit of the new year took ahold of me for a moment, I got a little carried away. Hope to see all your lovely faces soon.
