Botha Booster
What an exciting week happening at the school this week. Yesterday, Tuesday, grades 2-5s started their skating lessons, and starting today, Jan. 21, Kindergartens and Grade 1s will be starting their lessons. So between regular class time and skating lessons happening, this will be a fun time for all. Then, starting Feb. 6, skiing lessons will be starting at the Alliance Ski Hill. So parents, please remember to send in your child’s equipment when needed.
Tomorrow, Thursday, will be the first village meeting for 2015, taking place at 7 p.m. The time between 7 and 7:15 p.m., the council has set this time aside for everyone to ask questions, concerns etc. anyone may have. So please attend these monthly meetings. Council has set aside the first Wednesday of each month to review bylaws and budgets.
The Botha Community Center Committee is also looking for new members to join them. They are also looking for a caretaker for the hall and arena, so the hours depends on the usage for that week, but it could work out to be about five hours per week. So if you’re looking for a part time job and willing to do this, please call Shaun Derr at 403-742-4811. Also they are in need of volunteers to open and close the arena, so if you have some time and are willing to do this, please talk to Shaun. This would truly be appreciated.
If you’re looking for someone to shovel snow in the Village of Botha, please call Owen at 403-740-3481.
We have two people in our little village celebrating birthdays this past week. First Friday was Bradon Morris’ and second was last Monday, Jan. 19 was Donna Morris’. So would like to wish you both a happy birthday and hope you both have a fantastic day.
Make sure you come out this coming Sunday, Jan. 25 to the Botha Hall dressed in some red in color if you like as it’s the Old-Time Dance Club Valentine Dance. The “Ralph and Friends Band” will be the entertaining band for that afternoon, so make sure you come out for a great time. There is no age limit on these dances, so everyone can come out and have a great time. The committee however would appreciate it if everyone who attends would bring sandwiches/buns or dessert with them to share at the luncheon.
The next seniors’ meeting will be held on Monday, Feb 2, starting at 12 noon. They are hoping all seniors can attend these very important meetings.
Quilting happens this coming Monday, Jan. 26 starting at 9:30 a.m. So make sure you join the ladies at the Botha Seniors’ Centre at this time for a great relaxing time doing a great craft.
