Seniors, do you remember the coffee shop in your little town or in your neighbourhood? They were everywhere, a gathering place for the community, a homey place where you would feel welcome and included. The “coffee shop” concept is alive and well! SouthWest Edmonton Seniors Association has three locations for Cafe SWESA. All kinds of interesting people gather, hear lots of

opinions, share information, laugh a lot, commiserate and make everyone feel at home. To find out about Café SWESA times and locations, check page 10 of our Program Guide at http://swesa.ca/program-guide/ or drop by our office.
