I was delighted, in my capacity as acting mayor, to preside over the installation luncheon of the Côte Saint-Luc Senior Social Club recently at the Monkland Grill Restaurant. Open to residents 55 years and over, the Côte Saint-Luc Senior Social Club meets every Wednesday afternoon for stimulating and informative programs. Interesting and relaxing day trips are planned. Activities include guest speakers, fitness and bridge, beginner bridge, Mah Jong and line dancing instructions. Bridge is played every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon and is open to all members. I had the honour of swearing in the new president, Barbara Akerman, who takes over from the wonderful Eva Silverman. Barbara is the mother-in-law of N.D.G. Liberal MNA Russell Copeman, who was on hand for the luncheon. Pictured here are Barbara Akerman and Eva Silverman up front. In the back, left to right, are: Loretta Anisef of Parks and Recreation, Councillor Glenn J. Nashen, City Manager Ken Lerner, Russell Copeman, myself, Councillor Mitchell Brownstein and Councillor Dida Berku.
