Attending the SSAI District meeting in Maymont April 12 were three members of the Do Drop In club, Gwen Lacerte, Linda Ard and I. Reports were heard from most of the clubs with many reporting having received grants to help keep their buildings in repair. Our Provincial President Pat Trask and her friend Mary Heimbecker attended the afternoon session, with Pat addressing the group. One item she spoke about was the different kinds of medic alerts there are. A collection was taken for the Humboldt Broncos raising $228. In the absence of our guest speaker, the chairman asked folks who spent time in the warmer climates this year to tell us something of interest. This brought some interesting items – a couple who go to Corpus Christi reported their interest in the whooping cranes which now number around 600. Another couple went bird watching in the Panama area where there are over 1,000 different kinds of birds and a couple that spent their time at Palm Springs, also reported. Election of director – Linda Ard, and co-ordinators followed, with the same ones keeping their jobs. The district meeting in 2019 will be held in Cutknife.
The monthly meeting of the Do Drop In was held April 13 at 10:30 a.m. The Walkathon forms were on hand with some interest shown. No decision has been made about the hall floor. Edam has accepted our invitation to join us on May 11 for lunch and a social afternoon. The new lady at the library is Maria Meiers from Meota. Maureen is acting on recruiting new members to join our club, we have two couples coming from Trevessa Beach, which we are happy to have. SaskPower is planning on reading the meters once a year, so we must learn to read and report for ourselves. There were several with birthdays this month and we sang Happy Birthday to them. A great pot-luck lunch and time of visiting followed the meeting.
Norwegian Whist took place at the same place that evening with three tables in play. Top score went to Linda Ard, second to Faye Goll and third to Albert Huys. Another pot-luck closed that session, too.
