The Big Valley United Church would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all those whose assistance contributed to the success of their Ham Supper and Silent Auction this past Sunday. Whether you helped to organize the evening, worked at the event, donated food or silent auction items or came out for the great food and fellowship, thank you.
Special thanks to Bill, whose generosity always adds to the success. Many positive comments were received regarding how fortunate the community is to have young people volunteering. Thank you to everyone for helping to keep the church alive in this community while they are in the process of finding a new minister.
This year Easter services for the Big Valley United Church community include the Good Friday (Apr.18) service at the Erskine United Church at 7:00 p.m. and the Easter Sunday (Apr.20) service at the Big Valley United Church at 11:00 a.m.
The Village of Big Valley will celebrate its’ one hundredth birthday the weekend of Aug. 1-3. Community organizations are hard at work planning a full slate of exciting activities.
As part of the preparations for this milestone event, the Big Valley Library and the Friends of the Library society have begun work on their “Centennial Wi-Fi Park”. Plans have been approved for a major overhaul which will add great new features to enhance both the public function and attractiveness of this little park.
If you would like more information or are interested in assisting in this project in any way, stop by the library to take a peek at our plans.
Sixteen people came out for crib at the Big Valley Inn on Sunday, April 13. They played two tables of eight with: Lawrence Wilkie and Stan Nattestad placing first; Phil Bryant and Margaret Levesque placing second and Ernie Petrussa and Vi McCarty placing third. Betty Bell and Joanne Murphy took the booby. Joanne Murphy also won the regular draw, while Betty Bell won the 50/50. Congratulations to everyone.
No crib tournament is scheduled for next Sunday, due to the Easter weekend holiday. The season finale will be on Sunday, Apr. 27 with games, door prizes and supper. Hope to see all the regulars at the finale. Happy Easter to one and all from the Big Valley Inn crib players.
