Hi Everyone,

Please note that Nov 5 free play was cancelled, due to City’s booking change.

The following play sessions at W.P. Wagner High School have been set aside for the EDBA 55+ Free Play program for the remainder of 2016:
1. Sunday, Oct 30, Noon to 2 p.m.
2. Saturdays, Nov 19 and Dec 3, 2 to 4 p.m.

Again these sessions are open to the public and not just EDBA members. Please let your members know and feel free to pass this on to other interested parties.

Many thanks to John Lee for his time and effort continuing to supervise and promote the 55+ Free Play Program.

IBC’s play time tonight (June 15) and June 17 are cancelled. Unfortunately, we never received a cancellation notice from the city/school so these cancellations were not anticipated. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable summer. See you in the fall!
