A large crowd attended Waseca's Father's Day brunch June 21, held at the Waseca Community Centre. Many volunteers assisted with the preparation of the brunch and the work following. It appears that everyone enjoyed the well-prepared meal and the socializing that took place.
At noon the door prizes were announced. Ada Polinsky, Diedra Mitchell and Courtice Sutherland were the lucky winners. Congratulations. This was followed by a draw. Colleen Goerzen of Lloydminster was the winner of the first prize, a choice of a quad or side-by-side. Jenna McFadyen was the winner of the second, a choice of a fly fishing trip or cash.
The Waseca Recreation Board sponsored the event and wishes to tank all who supported the raffle.
Swings have been purchased by the Waseca Recreation Board for the new playground at the community park and will be installed soon. As well, the recreation board has ordered a gazebo to be installed at the ES Memorial Park early this summer.
The Waseca Community Centre Board held a meeting this past week. The new windows that have been installed at the centre were funded by fundraisers, donations from individuals and a grant from the Maidstone, Waseca, and Eldon Funding Board. Planning is underway to replace the flooring in the Community Centre as well as improving wheelchair accessibility.
The Waseca Community Centre, which is equipped with a kitchen, pool table, shuffleboard and piano, is available for use for public and private functions. Rates and dates and more information are available by phoning Arlee at 306-893-4231 or Willie at 306-893-2401.
More discussion regarding events and activities that may be hosted by the community centre followed before the meeting adjourned.
