The election on April 20th resulted in two candidates being chosen from a selection of five. Congratulations to our new Councillors, Crystal Wilde & Leonard Lampman. Thanks to all the other candidates for their interest. The weather once again gave us a variety of aU seasons ofthe year, throughout April. High winds that attack so fiercely do damage to the trees & more. It is a relief that the snow doesn't remain very long after bliu.ards that sneak up on us and dump a lot of snow at times. The Sunrise Service scheduled to be held at the pond on Easter Sunday had to be moved inside the church due to the aecumulation of snow. The warm days were beautiful, especially those days without wind. Hopefully everyone enjoyed a Happy Easter. Thank you to the Easter Bunny helpers that delivered baskets of candies to the seniors, me being one of them. It was really appreciated. The weather the day of the Easter egg hunt turned miserable later in the day, but the children gathering eggs likely had an exciting day. Everyone has been shocked and very sorry to hear the news about Bruce Williams. We extend our best wishes to their family and hope the required surgery he's had will have him good to go soon. Bruce, upon your return from Moose Jaw, we hope that treatments will help you heal & be healthy again soon. Anyone else in the area undergoing any medical issues are also wished early recoveries. Sympathy is extended to the family of Clara Byer who passed away at the Auxiliary Hospital on April 11. Details are shaping up for another super day for the Canada Day celebrations & the car show, etc. As it falls in the middle of the week this year we hope that doesn't deter the many visitors we have always had for our big day. Fireworks at night are one of the highlights of closing off the evening. There will be the annual cake cutting & musical entertainment. · It should be a lot of fun joining the avid golfers first thing in the morning plus getting fed pancakes. The concession will be open again by Eliise and Aimie. Thank you to our advertisors, and to several other contributions toward the purchase of a printer for the Newsletter. Contrary to the write-up in the Claresholm Press, under a seething headline, MD Councillor John Kroetsch DID contribute the monies he allocated. Thank you! There was a large turnout taking part organizing & cleaning up, etc. at the Golf Course on a chilly April 26th. Thank you to everyone who came out and thank you to those who have purchased your memberships. ~~~~,.~~ HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS!
