The Borden and District Lions held a very successful Mother’s Day Brunch in the Borden Community Centre on May 14, thanks to the many that dropped in for a great meal, with the proceeds going to diabetes research. A Mother’s Day gift basket was won by Gerry Wainwright of Borden. The Lions Club are also selling West Jet tickets (2,000 printed only) for two people to fly anywhere that West Jet flies. The draw will be at the Fall Supper on Oct. 21, and the winner has one year to claim their prize. The proceeds (first $15,000) from the sale of these tickets will go to the Borden Museum to install bathrooms.
Haylie Lesko hosted a bridal shower brunch for her sister Rebekah on May 13 at the farm home of their parents, Bobby and Carlie Lesko, east of Hafford. After a delicious meal, everyone enjoyed a game of Bridal Jeopardy and all of the guests received a prize. Haylie had asked the groom to be, David Millar, some questions about him and Rebekah, and for every question she answered wrong, she had to chew bubble gum. Under everyone’s chair was a taped photo of celebrities, including Trump, and the one that had the groom’s photo won a prize. The many and beautiful gifts were then opened and displayed to everyone. David is from North Battleford, they are getting married in Saskatoon on May 20, and will be living in Saskatoon as Rebekah is a reporter for Global TV.
