May/June birthday celebrants honoured

Action Now Seniors

A birthday potluck lunch was held for six Action Now Seniors members June 13.

Edith Lockheart, Vera Payne, Rosemarie Blanchette, Sharon Dollansky, Lucielle Shuta and Betty Moore were seated at the head table. Everyone arrived with a variety of dishes. Margaret Kemp welcomed those attending and Mary said grace. Everyone enjoyed lunch and most stayed for our afternoon of Kaiser.

July 11, 30 members came out to an annual picnic. The afternoon started with six tables of Kaiser and two tables of cribbage. Marcel then called bingo. The winners of bingo where, Doreen Hagen, Millie Heidel, Margaret Kemp, Stella Evanchuk, Mildred L’Heureux, Olga Sandecki, Mary Baycraft, Buelah Lippe, Tom Nuttail, Faye Goll and Eileen Lacoursiere.

The highlight of the afternoon was when Lynn McLean and Rosemarie Blanchette won keys to a car. Whoever finds this car is the winner. By this time Margaret and helpers had the wieners ready and members dug in. The picnic finished of with ice cream treats for everyone. Fun was had by all.

Action Now bimonthly meeting was held July 16 with seven members present. Lotteries sent a letter with the amount of money that was to be given this year. There was a thank you letter from John Paul II student Sofie Bonefacio for her scholarship and also a thank you from NBCHS for a donation. Marcel will do a few repairs. Margaret Fedun and helpers where again thanked for the weiner roast.
