Diners' Club is a meal service that is intended to increase opportunities for nutritional and social support among seniors. Meals are served at many convenient locations . Each meal consists of a salad, entree (meat, potato & vegetable), juice and a dessert. The meals contain 40% of the daily recommended intake for a senior citizen.
In addition optional educational and recreation activities are available:
"Stay & Play Cards" is available at Greenwood Court. A CHAP Blood pressure clinic will also be offered at the first Greenwood Diner's Club each month starting in October 2010.
"Learn & Lunch" takes place at St. John's United Church. This Diners' Club begins at 11:00 am with an educational component, followed by lunch at noon. Please note there will be no Learn & Lunch in September. October's topic will be "How Healthy is Your Breathing?" with David Querin. November's topic will be "What Can Your Pharmacist Do For You?" with Greg Becotte, at a special time of 1:00 pm.
A book exchange is available at the Community of Christ Diners' Club.
