A busy weekend for most with Mother’s Day celebrations. Several from our area attended the Botha Pancake breakfast. Among these were Haley, Nick and Cooper; Tom, Angela and Kalli who took Mom (and Dad) Velvet and Fred there, where they enjoyed a delicious meal.

On Saturday afternoon Stan and Gloria attended granddaughters Sophie and Sadie Diegel’s dance recital at the P.A.C. in Stettler. Also in attendance at the 2 p.m. performance was Dad Arden, Aunt Richelle and Bridget and Aunt Ybiett.

I have received a precious package in the mail. In this were several pictures from Decoration Day 1945, as well as two pictures of “our boys” in concentration camp during WWII. Anyone who can help me put names to these pictures would be greatly appreciated. I will be printing copies for our cemetery book and to display in the Bank Building.
Cash bingo will be held on Saturday, May 17 at the Bank Building. Doors open 6:30 p.m.; early bird starts at 7 p.m. Coffee and cake half time. Everyone welcome.
