Am I the only one who is really tired of winter? Although we have seen crows huddled in the trees, and skunks and porcupines waddling on the warm pavement, we have yet to see the water run. So much for robins and crocuses!
Winter activities are winding down in our community. On March 17 the Rose Gill Lodge hosted its annual Kaiser tournament. Thirty-six players filled the common area and everyone had fun. Lee Finley was the high man, Sharon Goller the high women and Brad Krahn was at the other end. Great prizes were awarded and a St. Patrick’s Day lunch was enjoyed.
This is the season of Annual General Meetings. The Rabbit Lake Library held theirs on March 14. Donna German remains the chairperson and Lynn Morrison the secretary treasurer. Remaining members on the library board are Naomi Unger, Marie Balazsi, Joan Dzialo and Norma Sherman. On March 10, the library sponsored an alcohol ink painting class instructed by Karen McMillan. Eleven painters spent the day and had a good time. The quilting nights and art days have been sponsored by the library and the quilters and artists will be showing their work at and a show and tell on April 23 at the Rabbit Lake Community Hall at 7 p.m. The dessert of the month for March was won by Michelle Wohlberg. Look forward to the annual bottle drive, a library fundraiser, that will be happening in May.
The Rabbit Lake Seniors Sunrise Circle held its annual meeting on March 21. Jim Tomkins was re-elected chairperson, Norma Sherman vice chair, Naomi Unger secretary and Lynn Morrison treasurer. Cornie Martens, Karen Vallee, Isabelle McLennan, Melita Hildebrand, Elaine Tomkins, Shirley Leigh, Carol Ferguson, and Ken Rogers. The monthly music evenings have been a major undertaking of the seniors board. The next performer will be Terry Ann Strongarms who will be performing on April 12 at the Rabbit Lake Community Hall. Tickets for the concert and supper are available.
The Annual General Meetings for Rabbit Lake and District Agricultural Association and the Rabbit Lake Community Hall board will be held on April 9 and April 30 respectively. The annual spring supper, a community hall fundraiser, will be held on May 5 at the community hall.
Congratulations go out to Dave and Margaret Siegel who celebrated a milestone (40th) anniversary.Â
It is great to see that all the snowbirds have returned safe and sound.
