Old Man Winter decided to hit again on the weekend. In our area, we got snow and wind. It would be nice to start seeing some signs of spring. It’s been a long winter.

On Monday, come out for another great day of quilting with the quilting ladies. They have a great time and puts out a lot of beautiful items. They start at 9 a.m., at the Botha Senior Centre.

This Friday, get your dancing shoes on and come out to the Botha Hall at 7:30 p.m., to hear and enjoy the music from the Grassroot band. There is no age limit at these dances, so everyone can come. There is a pooled lunch, so everyone is asked to bring buns/sandwiches or pastry with you to share.

The next Bingo evening will be held Tuesday, March 19. These start at 7:15 p.m. at the Botha Senior Centre, so make sure to join in the excitement.

Every Tuesday evening at 7 p.m., come on out for some great exercises and join the Zumba classes at the Botha Hall.
