The purpose of the membership is to off-set the cost of programming. A membership is required to participate in most programming although, if an event requires a certain amount of participants it would be open to members first and if any spots are remaining, it would then be open to non-members. There are several events the LV50+F&F promotes that are open to the general public of any age such as Thursday Night Euchre and the Bi-Weekly Music Jams.
In person registration can be done at any LV 50+ Fit & Feisty event or at Alice & Fraser Rec Centre (1 Henan Road) during Coffee Connect on Wednesdays from 10am to 11:30 am.
Payment of the $25 membership fee can be made by E-Transfer to fitandfeisty50@gmail.com or in person by cash or cheque.
Paper copies of the membership application are available upon request by emailing fitandfeisty50@gmail.com or by visiting the Township Office at 460 Witt Road between 8:30am – 4:00pm from Monday to Friday.
For more information please contact the group directly by email or follow them on Facebook.
