For the potluck supper on March 28 in the Club Room, the walls of the Borden Friendship Centre were lined with many beautiful quilts sewn by Paulette Millis of Borden, who resides in the former Mennonite Church northeast of Borden. Paulette is an author of cookbooks on healthy living and a quilter and holds classes at her home in quilting and cooking. After the delicious potluck supper, Happy Birthday was sung to Art and Doreen Flath, Martha Rempel, Ivan Friesen and Alfred Gunsch. The Penner Family from Saskatoon entertained for the evening, accompanying sisters Linda Wiebe and Maryann Froese plus brother Rick Penner playing guitar or harmonica and singing, were Larry Gerbrand of Dalmeny playing guitar and Arnie Derksen of Hague on guitar. The trio sang many gospel songs including Count Your Blessings, You Can’t Be a Beacon, Ready to Meet the Saints and some oldies including Long Black Train, Country Roads, Fox on the Run then a tribute to Easter with Take Up My Cross, Why Me, Lord then Rick played the harmonica for a couple of tunes such as Will the Circle be Unbroken, closing with Evening Shadows and Thank You, Lord. At the Kaiser tournament held the night before, winning hands were held by Leonard Kasahoff and Ed Rawlyk while low hand prize went to Art Flath. The next Kaiser will be April 10 and Bingo April 18 at 7 p.m. Rick Penner has just completed installing the bathrooms in the Borden Museum over the last six weeks.
Borden Parks and Recreation Board along with Lisa Moen and her band, held a concert in the Borden Community Centre on March 28. A few dropped in after the program in the seniors room, but the attendance was not great to hear her easy listening country and western music.
