What beautiful weather we have had lately. One hears about the storms in Eastern Canada and the United States and really appreciates our weather. The roads have been good for travelling as well.
I must apologize for the error made in my Jan. 21 Waseca News. Jessie Weisner and Ashley McFadyen of Maidstone High School were accompanied by staff member Judy Franks on their trip to Halifax, N.S.
An appreciation supper and social evening was held in Waseca Community Centre Jan. 31, honouring all volunteers who serve on local boards and committees. The evening began with a supper, followed by pool and shuffleboard tournaments along with lots of visiting.
Congratulations to all those who do serve our community as volunteers. In this day and age, when volunteering is lagging, it is pleasing to know there still are many who volunteer, showing appreciation for the local community.
Jaco Coetzee, who works in this area, returned last week from a holiday spent with his family in his Â鶹´«Ã½AV African homeland. Sounds like it was a warm holiday, with temperatures reaching 41 C.
The Waseca Recreation Board held their monthly meeting Feb. 2. They continued making plans for upcoming events.
The Waseca village office is now completely moved to 201 Douglas Place, which is just across from Snell Park. Renovations done before they moved in included the laying of new flooring and painting of the interior of the building. The office will be closed for the first two weeks of February.
Arlee Lumgair attended a fundraising event in Meadow Lake Jan. 28. The event was held to raise funds for her daughter Shawna, partner Arlan and their family, who lost their home in a fire on New Year’s Day. Shawna, Arlan and family have been living with Shawna’s sister Tracy since then, but have now moved into a duplex where they will be living until their new house is built.
The fundraiser, a silent and live auction, was organized by the rodeo association and 4-H and was a great success. We hope everything goes well for Shawna, Arlan and family.
