The election was held and we now have a new village councillor. Congratulations, John Delong. On council now is Brian Ducharme, Bob Macleod and Carol Deagnon as acting mayor until the next election. Denise Bernier stepped down as mayor and is now our village administrator.
The enjoyment of entertaining seniors is not only gratifying to us but we hope also to them. Seeing these seniors, we hope we are bringing them joy and happiness – the joy on their faces, the tapping of toes, some dancing and even singing along.
We go to local nursing homes, and anywhere we can perform where they are present. Sometimes some of the musicians, even though they love to entertain, aren’t able to because of the expenses but we thank all of the organizations who help with some of these costs.
Musicians, please keep up the good work; one day we will be sitting where they sit and hopefully someone will be singing to us.
Two of our seniors attended Those Were The Days at the Western Development Museum – Mary and Bert Carpentier. Mary wore her grandma’s wedding dress from 1905 and Kari Carpentier wore her great-grandmother’s dress. Cute hat, Kari. Also check out the camera in the photo. Bert Carpentier just looked cute.
Next potluck in Maymont will be Aug. 27, a cold plate supper and games to follow.

Take the time to write a letter to your MLA. Tell them why your library matters to your community. Tell them why our libraries deserve an increase in funding. Be sure to send off your copies to Premier Brad Wall, the Minister of Education and the Minister of Finance as well – the more offices you send them to, the better the chances are of being heard.
