Belated Happy Easter wishes to everyone. I hope you had the opportunity to share this weekend with family and friends, and maybe a few new baby calves.
The weather has finally turned to warmer and brighter days.
The Morrin Lions Club hosts a fundraiser in conjunction with the Morrin High School graduation class and the Morrin Agricultural Society.
It’s a fun casino night with a roast-beef supper on Saturday, April 13, with cocktails at 5 p.m., supper at 5:30 and the casino to follow at the Morrin Community Hall.
At the end of the evening, there will be lots of prizes to bid on for the funny money auction, as well as some silent auction items for real money.
There will be horse races held throughout the evening. If you want to find out what this is all about, you’ll have to come along and check it out.
Tickets are available from Ron or Terri-Lynn at 403-772-2215 or Marilyn at 403-823-9484, and from any Lions member.
The Rumsey Drop-In Centre members would like to spread the word that each Wednesday, starting at 2 p.m., they meet to play cards, bingo, have snacks and socialize. It’s a fun afternoon and they welcome new members to join in the fun.
If you would like to participate, just drop by on any Wednesday, and you’ll always be welcome.
The Farmers BSA Club meets every Monday and Thursday morning at the Drop-In at 9 o’clock, so if that is more up your alley, check that out as well.
The Drop-In is also available for small meetings and fun events, for anyone interested in renting it. Just contact Laurette Lavallee at 403-368-3773 or Helen Steen at 403-368-2103.
The Rumsey Library would like to remind everyone interested that the calendar photo contest is scheduled to run again this year at the garden show on Aug. 28. So don’t forget to take pictures in every season then submit them for the contest.
Stop in for a membership and a look around. The library has all the bestsellers, reference books, supernet, audiobooks, e-book downloads, music downloads, e-resources — and so much more — for a $10 membership.
The Rumsey Spring Fling is fast approaching. It’s set for April 20, so keep that on your calendar as an important date to remember.
There’s always a delicious meal, with the infamous pie auction and silent auction to follow. It’s sure to be a great way to get rid of the winter blues.
