Our floor curling bonspiel is in full swing. The final playoffs for the Jean Harris Trophy will conclude on May 30 beginning at 9:30 a.m. A potluck lunch will follow the playoffs. Even if your team lost in the playoffs, as mine did (thanks to me), come out and cheer on the final players and join us for lunch. Floor curling will continue on a pick up basis for the remainder of the summer months. Feel free to come out whenever you have a free Monday morning.
Mark your calendar for the general meeting on June 2 at 1 p.m. The administrator from Ridgestone Lodge will be in attendance to give us an overview of their new facility, which is located just south of Oilfields Hospital.
The garden club plant sale in the courtyard of VNC starts at 11 a.m. on June 4. We would welcome donations of any kind of plants. Please drop them off at VNC on June 3 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. It would be much appreciated if you could label your donations, as we have had plants that none of us could identify. This is not a positive thing as we do categorize ourselves as a garden club. If you need help to dig or separate your perennials for the plant sale, please call Bea at 403-933- 7131.
Sheep Creek Arts Council’s annual rhubarb festival and quilt show will be held at VNC on Saturday, June 4 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Bake sale begins at 11 a.m. Cost for tea and quilt show is $5 or $1 for the quilt show and sale. Rhubarb is in short supply this year. If anyone has extra or even frozen rhubarb in their freezer, the arts council would be pleased to have you drop it off at VNC and/or put it in their freezer, marked “SCAC.”
Many thanks to Jean Feddersen for cleaning out the planters and tidying up the courtyard. The garden club will be planting the VNC planters at 10 a.m. on May 26. We are tentatively planning to begin planting the Town planters on June 2. Contact Bea if you are able to help or for further information.
Wasn’t that a million dollar rain? I have close to an inch in my rain gauge.
