The Borden Community Centre Preservation Committee is holding their second annual Borden Has Talent event April 15, in the community centre, starting at 1:30 p.m. They have nine entrants and whoever brings in the most money in pledges gets 20 per cent, second gets 15 per cent, third gets 10 per cent and the others get 5 per cent of their pledges. Admission cost is $5 and there will be lunch at the break. So come out and cheer (and pledge) on your favourite singer or dancer or other talent and raise some money to do renovations in the community centre.
On behalf of the Radisson Order of the Royal Purple, Audrey Baker and Lorraine Olinyk travelled to Maymont Central School April 4 and gave out Smarties and certificates to 54 students in Grades 1 - 6 who had entered posters in the Healthy Choices Contest sponsored by the Sask. Elks Association.
They also gave out prize money to the winners who were: Allison Wawryk, Taylor Boklaschuk and Xavier Armstrong for Grade 1; Cadence Lake, Makenna Voegeli, Riley Abel and Ethan Manson in Grade 2; Alivia Hein and Hailey Harris in Grade 3; Arin Amson, Ryan Loukys, Kimberly Wawryk and Ashton Harris in Grade 4; Jenna Ferris, Brooklyn Boklaschuk and Michelle Garrett in Grade 5; and Hailey Maxwell, Meghan Brehon, and Madison Deline in Grade 6. Kindergarten had not done any posters, but they all got Smarties to share, or chocolate Easter eggs, as they were present when the awards were handed out.
The posters sent to provincials were done by Allison and Taylor for kindergarten/Grade 1 and Hailey Harris for Grade 2/3.
