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!
