Baseball is on the minds of the Gadsby Ball Association.
There will be a general meeting at the Bank Building on April 26, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The baseball organization is looking for coaches and three board positions to fill, with the ongoing support of the past board.
If those positions aren’t filled and the support is not there, the ball association can’t go forward. Please step up and lend your support.
On another spring note, Bar Harbour Camp registration is underway. Bar Harbour is north of Stettler and has been running for more than 60 years. It runs mainly off the goodwill of donors and is a registered charity.
For more camp information, phone 403-574-2442.
Spring garage sales are on the way!
Paulette, Jeanne, Velvet, Lorraine and Joyce are busy planning their annual sale for May 2, 3 and 4 at the Botha Hall.
If anyone is interested in joining them, contact Paulette at 403-574-2442. It’s a fun week … we set up Wednesday at the hall.
Birthday greetings go out to Bertha Bible, who celebrated her 90th birthday Saturday at Heart Haven Lodge with cake and coffee, friends and family.

Donna MacKay had a “wild” weekend, working the busy trade fair in Stettler last Saturday. The P&H Elevator Preservation Society booth was busy accepting donations and handing out information.

Donna and Betty Hadwin travelled to Red Deer on Monday to help work the casino for Heritage Place (the Gadsby church building).
