My life will never return to normal. July 6 our family suffered a great loss when my mom, Sophie McConnell, passed away. Although you think you are prepared for a parent’s death, you are never ready.
As I missed last week’s column, due to my family’s loss, I will try to fill in the gaps.
All four girls’ softball teams earned medals in their respective provincial championships, with U19 and U16 teams capturing gold while U14 and U12 lost tight matches in extra innings earning silver medals. This means U19 (hosting) and U16 and U14 are off to Western Canadian championships the first weekend in August.
Baseball began their respective provincial championship quests last weekend as mosquito and bantams played host in Unity, while the peewees headed to Carnduff. Next weekend, the midgets will play to seek a provincial title in their division.
Unity will play host to U19 Girls Softball Western Canadians on August long weekend.
The weekly Lions fundraising event, Chase the Ace, has gone another week without the elusive black card being found, which means the jackpot has grown yet again. Come on out to the Legion Hall each Wednesday for food, drinks and your chance to win some money or find the ace.
Coffee row folks know that the months of June to August offer much delight, activity and summer fun, while also understanding how quickly summer passes by. Those who are around in the summer happily review activity that has taken place in the community while anxiously anticipating events still to come. They also love to talk about their summer travels and summer visitors. Local ball teams and the Riders are the hot sports topics sure to be discussed and, rest assured, the odd golf game is mulled over. So you can see life is full of fun and activity in Unity with our friends at coffee row sharing this traditional part of our community culture. Until next time …
