Now that spring has arrived and the weather has improved, attendance at the North Battleford Action Now Senior Centre has also improved and it is good to see everyone enjoying the different activities.
Congratulations to the 10 birthday celebrants who were honoured at the potluck dinner held April 8 where 41 members enjoyed a great meal followed by an afternoon of Kaiser and socializing.
The annual meeting of the Action Now Senior Centre was held March 16. A moment of silence was held to honour 11 former members who had passed away in the last 12 months.
Election of executive and board members took place. Returned by acclamation were president Margaret Kemp, vice-president Margaret Fedun, secretary Yvonne MacPherson and treasurer Lucille Shutra. Directors elected were Fay Taylor and Eileen Kerslake for three-year term, Muriel Miller for two years and Mildred L'Heureux for one year.
Volunteer committees were also set up to help with the operation of the centre. Thanks to everyone for your continued support and devotion to the club.
April 15, the annual afternoon Kaiser tournament was held with Marcel Lacoursiere becoming the 2015 champion. Second place went to Theo Omelchenko, third to John Sendecki, fourth to Stella Ewanchuk and fifth to Eileen Kerslake.
The annual cribbage tournament held April 17 with Howard Weitzel winning the champion trophy. Eileen Kerslake was second and Eileen Lacoursiere took third.
We are looking forward to an exciting summer as we continue to hold our regular activities as follows: Monday - canasta, Wednesday - Kaiser, Thursday - canasta and Friday - cribbage from 1:30 - 4:00 p.m. with a Kaiser tournament the first and third Friday evenings of each month from 7:30 to 10 p.m.
The lucky winners at the last tournament were Stella Perkins in first, Jean Smith in second, and Vera Payne in third. The door prize was won by Agnes Lucarz and the 12 no trump by Jean Smith and Marg Kemp.
