MEOTA — The pretty fall colors are leaving rapidly, as we have been having windy days this month and the leaves have fallen to the ground. Kids enjoy walking through them and kicking them about. A few stragglers hang on but will give up soon. The combining seems to be finished up and some of the fall cultivation work is done in preparation for the winter snows to begin. We have still not had any snow but know it will come, soon enough.

Coffee at the Do Drop In on Wednesday mornings is still going well, with lots of news shared and stories told, often with goodies shared, too.
The salon was closed last week as the staff is having some health problems. This is a busy and much-needed service in our community. Here’s wishing them better days ahead.
Acres and acres of the white snow geese are still fattening up before leaving for southern climes. We see fields covered with them as they feed twice a day, then go back and rest on the water. The big Canadas are coming now, too. They seem to come a bit later than the white ones.
A general meeting was held to consider the continued existence of the Meota Duplicate Bridge Club. A motion was made and passed to dissolve the club. A second motion was made and passed to dispose of any existing funds and of equipment and materials. A third motion was made and passed to allocate existing funds — one quarter to the Battlefords Union Hospital, one quarter to Meota ADRA organization and one half to the Do Drop In Seniors’ Centre. All remaining equipment and materials to be sent to the Battleford Duplicate Bridge Club. All motions were passed unanimously.
