Congratulations to Renee Donovan who was awarded the Local Volunteer Award for 2014 by Saskatchewan Regional Parks at their Spring Conference held in Saskatoon April 10. Renee volunteered at the Silver Lake Regional Park, doing a lot of work on the golf course among other things. She devoted many hours of summertime to working there and is very deserving of this award.
A number of students from Waseca took part in the provincial badminton tournament held in Maidstone during the past weekend.
Final arrangements are being made for some events to be held in Waseca on the near future. The recreation board held a meeting recently to discuss the fish fry to be held at Waseca Hall Saturday, April 25. Doors open at 5 p.m. with supper at 6 p.m. Angus McFadyan will be auctioneer to auction for the many items which have been generously donated. The Yellowhead Ramblers band will be playing at various times during the evening.
Sunday morning, April 26, the Waseca community annual meeting will be held at Waseca Hall. A barbecue will start off this event beginning at 11a.m. The meeting will begin at 1p.m. This year the meeting will be chaired by the recreation board. Everyone interested in keeping our community active and busy is urged to attend and enter discussions.
Members of the Donovan family met for breakfast at a restaurant in Maidstone  April 12. This is an annual spring event for the family, enjoyed by family members who like to keep up on family events.
