Our first general meeting of the fall season was, as usual, attended by the faithful few. The main discussion was about having a door installed on the west side so that the courtyard could be viewed and enjoyed. Sylvia will do some more research and obtain some estimates. We have all winter to make adjustments to see if we can come up with a plan that will satisfy the concerns raised. Due to the maintenance work being done on the floor, it was decided that the Sept. 9 afternoon bingo will be cancelled. This includes the Lion’s bingo, scheduled for the evening of Sept. 9 as well.
Exercise classes begin on Sept. 20. Bev will be back to get us all in shape.
Stop by the Griffiths center and pick up your tickets for the roast beef dinner on Sept. 21. The cost is $12 for members and guests.
Our Sheep River Library has some interesting programs lined up for October. You won’t want to miss The Wardens on Oct. 1 and 100 Years of Thunder with the inimitable Doris Daley on Oct. 15. These events are free, but you need to pick up tickets at the library to ensure seating. Pick up a copy of the Out Loud brochure at the library for further information.
I’m fairly certain that I’ve had a bear in my back yard on a couple of occasions. My bird feed was torn down and the bird bath destroyed. Does anyone know if a raccoon would do that as my neighbours have seen a raccoon in the area.
Steve would like to get duplicate bridge started on Sept. 10. Please give him a call if you are interested at 403-933-5757.
Dance to the fiddle music of the Gates family on Saturday night, Sept. 10, at the Flare and Derrick. The price is right, $15 for adults, 16 and under are free. It is sponsored by the little church in the valley and proceeds go to their outreach program. Coyote Moon and Blue Rock Gallery have tickets or you can get them at the door.
