DON’T CALL Vera Ban-

nister a senier citizen. At 91

years young, she appears to

have more energy than most a.’ rock stars.

By Surj Rattan News Reporter

Far the last year she has been displaying that energy level every Monday at the West Vancouver Royal Canadian Legion by plaving the piano.

“ds a fun place to come.

Everyone is so nice here,"’ said Bannister, as she took a = short break from her piano.

“| played piano professionally in England, and I used to run a band, what you would call a gig.”

But Bannister is not the only one who displays her youthful energy at the Monday afternoon socials.

Legion spokesman Jean Coulle said one of the big draws of the weekly event is line dancing ~. lessons that are taught to the legion members.

“Most people have no idea what happens at a legion. Most people think that what goes on here is a bunch of old people get together and just drink,’’ said Coulle.

But that myth was dispelled one recent Monday afternoon as the legion members took part in line dancing, a Christmas skit that in- . me cluded Santa, and singing.
