ALIDA - The special events happening throughout the week in Alida seem to be well attended.
The weekly get-togethers at the Golden Gate Centre are busy. In the forenoon (9-11 a.m.) one is welcome to come make jigsaw puzzles, visit, do crafts, play cards and/or have a cup of coffee. In the evenings (7-9 p.m.) card games are organized and enjoyed by those who are attending. They will continue with these gatherings as there seems to be much interest. Memberships are required ($25 for a year or $5 per visit).
Every Friday evening (7:30- 9:30 p.m.) at the rink the kitchen is open and a supper is available, whether it be a rink food supper or something special. It’s nice to get out for fresh air and visit while enjoying a supper. Following supper one can possibly enjoy a card game if one wishes, enjoy throwing some curling rocks, play a curling game or have a great time skating. Please remember skating fees are due now as well.
Breakfasts at the rink are now well underway every Sunday morning from 8-10:30 a.m. Kitchen Group 4 served up 42 breakfasts on Jan. 14. They did not beat the challenge total of 51, but there is still lots of time to do so. Next week it is Group 1 that will be at the helm. It was nice to see many familiar faces, lots of locals as well as those from neighbouring towns returning for breakfast.
The Alida Wrecks Hockey team will host their annual hockey tournament Jan. 26 and 27. They are hoping to see you at the rink enjoying some of their games.
Act One Productions is hosting another drama production March 7-10. They are presenting A Fine Monster You Are! If interested in reserving tickets, please contact Linda at 306-577-3155 for cocktail theatres the first two nights or dinner theatre the third. Tickets are at the door for the Sunday matinee. Hope we see you there.
Please remember folks to text or call me at 306-485-8561 with any news as I can’t keep track of everything going one around Alida. I appreciate your help as it does help make this column interesting.
