The Botha Senior Centre will be an active little place starting at 9 a.m., tomorrow May 8, with the floor curling tournament taking place. Would like to wish all the teams participating, good luck to all, and have a lot of fun.

This coming Sunday is a very important day to celebrate with your mother. It’s Mother’s Day, so what have you got plan to do with your mom, and for your mother on her special day? The BCC Committee is holding a Mother’s Day Breakfast starting at 9 a.m. that day, so why not begin your mother day out by bringing your mom out for one fantastic breakfast? They have great cooks and the food is always great, with very reasonable prices. So grab your mom out of her kitchen and bring her out for one great time, and join your friends and neighbours for breakfast that day.

Monday, May 12 come and join the ladies at 9:30 a.m., at the Seniors’ Centre for another day of quilting. They would love to see you join them, even for a coffee, or they are always happy to teach someone this special craft.

Bingo takes place again the evening of May 13 starting at 7:15 p.m. The Jackpot has not been won for quite some time, so it’s up there and climbing. So who knows, if you join in the fun, you could be the lucky one taking it home with you.

Make sure you come out to the Botha Hall again this coming Friday at 7:30 p.m. for another great time. It’s the last of three more dances before they take their summer break and for everyone life gets extremely busy with all the summer work that needs to be done before fall. The “Ralph and Friends Band” will be the entertaining folks for the evening, which is a fantastic band to dance to and also listen to, so make sure you join in the fun. The committee is asking everyone to bring with them buns/sandwiches or pastry with them to share at the evening luncheon. Hope you can make it out that evening, as it’s a lot of fun and there is no age limit on any of these dances.

Here we are into May and Old Man Winter still refuses to give up. This past weekend he hit again leaving the ground white for us all. Hopefully, he decides to leave soon and the weather warms up quickly as in a couple of weeks the campgrounds all around will be reopening for everyone’s enjoyment.

It will be nice to see them reopen for camping season again, which means water fun, camp fires etc for everyone to enjoy, but Winter, you must disappear and let spring take over, as with this weather being so unpredictable, the water will never have a chance to heat up. So hopefully, things will end soon and warm up.

But in closing, I would like to wish every mother out there, a great Mother’s Day and hope your day turns out fantastic.
