Monetary donations are accepted with cheques being made out to Samaritan’s Purse. It helps to offset the cost of postage. If anyone has any questions, they can phone Mrs. Morbeck at 403-742-5220.
This Saturday will be the CWAJHAA volleyball tournament, (not sure where) so good luck Erskine!!
All kids are welcome to bring their letters to Santa to the Erskine Post Office (no postage is necessary) and I will address them and get them sent to Santa so they reach him on time. He always replies, so write early so he is not too busy when Christmas Eve comes.
The county is making good progress on the water reservoir building on the east side of Erskine. This is where the pumps will be and in future it will be used for RV dumping and filling and fire protection since it will give the fire trucks a place to fill with water should there be a fire in this area and the farmers will have access to it for spraying etc.
