Due to the curling of faulty shingles supplied by a company that has declared bankruptcy, the roof has had to be re-shingled before it starts leaking creating more problems. The cost has put a huge hardship on the seniors鈥 organization finances. We have started a campaign to raise money ourselves, but need help from Maidstone and area residents. We also need new members in order to keep running. This building is used by many other organizations as it is conveniently located and has an off-the-street parking lot. If you wish to make a donation contact Dorothy Schwartz 306-893-2663, Margaret MacEachern 306-893-2379 or Shannon Smith 306-893-2551. Income tax receipts are available. Cheques can be made out to Maidstone Seniors鈥 Centre. Fortunately the weather co-operated and the shingling has been completed by a local company, Hegel Construction.
