Many thanks to editor Becky Doig and the staff of Battlefords Publishing for inviting us to attend a Celebrate the Harvest luncheon and tour of the New-Optimist. Some years ago I had toured this locale and always enjoy it. Many changes have taken place, including to our attractive newspaper.
Everyone appreciates nice innovations to improve upon the environment. North Battleford Housing Authority has contracted with Tree World Landscaping to transform the patio area of the grounds into an area showing class and the potential to provide seasons of elegance and charm.
To ensure a season of good health, flu shots were administered Oct. 13.
A warm welcome to two new residents who are making their new homes in our Tower. Many they soon feel free to join us in some of our activities.
A big thank you to the chuches - Third Avenue United, St. Paul's Anglican, St. Andrew's Presbyterian and St. Vital Roman Catholic - for inviting us and providing us with order forms to share in their Thanksgiving suppers. Those of us who partook of these enjoyed some delicious meals.
Many residents appreciated the beef on a bun dinner provided by the North Battleford Fire Department Oct. 12.
A superb Thanksgiving dinner was prepared and served by Second to None Oct. 6.
The lovely month of October held special days for some folks. In their honour a birthday party was held Oct. 12. Many happy returns of the day to Audrey Knight, Jonathon and Will Reinhart, Olga Gresiuk and Les McDonald.
Oct. 26 and 27 , a shuffleboard tournament took place. Many thanks to those who helped in the kitchen preparing lunches, to the referees, Alice Horn, Phyllis Maloney and Ruth Hyrnewich, and to the scorekeeper Joan Bannerman.
