School has been in session for a week now so everyone associated is getting in the groove again.
Three school buses driven by Ruth Sutherland, Gloria Ford and Sandra Sutherland head out from Waseca each weekday morning to gather up the children for classes. New riders on the buses this year are Mia Nelson in pre-kindergarten and Carmen Melnyk and Landon Lorenz in kindergarten. We wish all students a safe, happy school year.
When school begins, so do the school sports with volleyball tournaments taking place now.
Some work has been done recently at Waseca Cemetery. Gravestones and markers are being restored. The village is hoping to have a ‘bee’ there in the near future. Watch for a poster at the post office. All volunteer help will be greatly appreciated. Remember, more hands make light work.
Waseca rec board held its regular meeting Aug. 26 with a number of future events discussed. The 2016 Father’s Day raffle was discussed and the 2016 fish fry was discussed. More help is needed for this event. The rec board is hoping to get more of the Waseca organizations and more people involved to make the fish fry run more smoothly.
The Waseca rec board has two pianos available for people to borrow if their children are taking piano lessons. A family who borrows a piano can keep it as long as it is needed with one stipulation – that it be kept tuned. These pianos have been doing the rounds for many years, much appreciated by those who have borrowed them. Posters are up in the post office telling people who plan to borrow a piano who to get in contact with.
The rec board is looking for volunteers to serve on the rink board. If anyone is interested in having the rink used to capacity and is willing to help organize work bees to have the necessary work done, please contact a member of the rec board.
Tentative plans are being made to have a Christmas celebration at Waseca’s Heritage Church. It is hoped that a heating system will be in the church for this event. That is presently being worked on.
The next rec board meeting will be held at the usual time Oct. 18. Thank you to rec board members who faithfully attend regular meetings that are so important in organizing so many events which take place in the village.
