Finally, the Movie/Pizza Night featured the animated film “The Croods”, which is a prehistoric comedy adventure that tells the story of the world’s first family as they embark on the journey of a lifetime. The Movie Night saw residents who attended the first showing as well as some new faces; it is family oriented, and is a great opportunity to meet and greet your neighbours. We trust that with residents having their access cards to the Recreation Centre, we will see more of you!

As we ushered in a new year, The Villages at Coverley welcomed new activities for our residents! Some of these starting in January were the Christian Women’s Club, the Mathematics and Chess Clubs. The Movie night saw its second occurrence, but for the first time, pizza was included for the residents’ enjoyment.

On January 6th, the Christian Women’s Club hadits very first meeting with Sonia Harrison, a recent homeowner, leading the group. Held in the Hibiscus Room, the meeting comprised of prayer and fellowship. The ladies took the opportunity to become acquainted, while sharing information on what they were thankful to God for. They also discussed ways to spread the gospel to other women in Barbados. The ladies who attended commented that the setting was wonderful, the facility was nice and the staff was very helpful. After the meeting, there was a brief social with refreshments. Sonia would like to encourage more women of The Villages to come out and receive God’s blessings. All are welcome!

The Mathematics Club, taught by Douglas Doeman, had its first session on Saturday January 11th, with a

total of seven (7) persons attending ranging from 13 to 16 years old, all at various levels of understanding. The materialpresented was well

received by the students who were able to apply the concepts to problems from CXC past papers. According to Douglas “Everything was in place, and the students were comfortable, and we lacked

Book ClubThe Coverley Book Club is a new activity which we are planning to incorporate into our monthly events as we continue to enhance and increase activities for our residents. We are sure that many of you love reading and have a passion for books! A Book Club will also encourage reading and therefore promote literacy, whilst building relationships with persons who have similar interests. Some ideas for this Club are as follows: Create a book exchange library whereby books can be shared by with each other.A specific novel could be chosen and when several members have read the book, a group meeting could be held to discuss, dissect and share the meaning or impact which said novel may have had on the readers.We look forward to your feedback on the Book Club and are also open to suggestions of a proposed day and time to hold these monthly gatherings.If you have any other suggestions or are interested in getting involved in the Book Club, please contact Tracia Mascoll at 627-4229 or email tmascoll@villagesatcoverley.net
