(VVl ir\sicles~ ) NO-NAME INTERIM CITY CENTRE NEWSLETTER January 29, 1990 The conception was easy - a bottle of wine and two like minds at work. However, the gestation period has been a long and very hard process...and it's still not finished! The New City Centre Newsletter is still to come! In the meantime, however, your poor, long-suffering Editor (Whine, Snivel) has been taking a lot of (undeserved) flack about the no-show of the new baby. So, as an interim measure only we present this "No-Name Interim City Centre Newsletter". The Gods willing, the real New! Improved! newsletter will be out before the start of February! Meanwhile the following, I'm told, is of the utmost importance and must be delivered ASAP to you: IT ISNT OVER UNTIL THE FAT LADY SINGS (or something like that)... You have by now all seen the blurb from the City Centre Fitness group (picture of a fat lady attempting to sit in a chair). But just in case you happened to have missed this priceless work of art, WYNN KEENAN, SANDRA JONES and STEPHANIE JEWELL would like to remind you that if "you've been ambushed by mince tarts, eggnogs and Christmas Pudding" you can join the VCC City Centre Fitness Classes. They meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12:10 to 12:50 in Room 240. It will cost you $34 (from January through to March 30, 1990). Give them a call and enrol. MORE KEEP FIT NEWS WYNN KEENAN is the City Centre representative to contact if you want to go on a Cross-Country Ski Trip to Manning Park. They will be going on Sunday, February 11, leaving at 7:00 in the morning and returning about 7:00 in the evening. Contact Wynn at Local 200 if you're interested in going.
