Rumsey Record
Does anyone know if this cold snap is going to end soon? I am tired of winter already and the first day of winter hasn’t even arrived yet.
The parents of the Morrin Senior High School Champion girls’ basketball team put on a wonderful evening last Saturday with comedians performing improv comedy for the crowd for about an hour with two local bands playing after. The families are raising money for the basketball team to travel to Hawaii to compete in an international event so it should be a great experience for the girls and their parents who travel with them.
The Big Valley and Rumsey Elks will be hosting their annual Turkey Bingos this Christmas season. The first Bingo will be held in Rumsey on Dec. 3 starting at 7:30 p.m. and one week later, the second Bingo will be held in Big Valley at the hall on Dec. 10 starting at 7:30 p.m. The Elks and Royal Purple do so much good in the community so this is an excellent way to give back to the clubs a little and maybe you will be lucky enough to take home a turkey, ham or box of oranges. Whether you win or not, it is always fun to play bingo.
The Seniors Drop-in will be having their Christmas lunch and party on Wednesday, Dec 17 starting at noon. Everyone is welcome to attend and join in on the fun. The lunch is potluck so bring a little something if you plan to join in on the meal.
The Rumsey Christmas Concert planning is underway. They had their first practice on this past Sunday and will have two more practices on Dec 7 and 14; each starting at 3 p.m. This is the time to let your talent shine. The concert will take place on Friday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. The organizers are in negotiations with Santa’s planners to make sure he can attend for a little bit so make sure you plan to attend and get a chance to see Santa.
The Rumsey Community Library is selling the community calendars for $15 which is a real bargain for an original Christmas gift for someone on your list. Remember to stop by and have a look at them and hopefully pick one up for someone special on your list. This is the library’s one and only fundraiser so we hope to sell out.
Here are some cold weather jokes to tell the kids in your world:
Q: How do you tell the difference between a walrus and an orange?
A: Put your arms around it and squeeze it. If you don’t get orange juice, it’s a walrus.
Q: What eight letters can you find in water from the Arctic Ocean?
A: H to O! (H20)
Q: If you live in an igloo, what’s the worst thing about global warming?
A: No privacy!
Enjoy and have a great week!
