Seniors gearing up for shuffleboard Nov. 20

Meota News: Construction continues as fall remains mild

MEOTA ‑ Wednesday morning coffee at the Do Drop In was exciting as a good turnout of interesting people and their stories filled the hour and a half, from 9:30 to 11 a.m.

Members had hoped to have the two candidates running for council come and speak, but neither was available. Cora Christiansen was welcomed home after her long stint at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon.

Shuffleboard games were discussed and Nestor Fransoo and Arlene Walker will be managing this project. Anyone wanting to play can sign up at the Do Drop In or phone Nestor at 306-441-6164 or Arlene at 306-892-4300. The first game day will be Saturday, Nov. 20. When schedule is drawn up, participants will be notified.

The pink pine grosbeaks arrived at Beauval last week and I saw the first nuthatch of the season here.

The millions of snow geese have left but some Canada geese are staying as long as they feel safe. 

Norwegian whist will be played at the Do Drop In Friday at 1:30 p.m. Come join us if you're not busy.

The next seniors' meeting at the Do Drop In will be Nov. 12 at 10 a.m., Anyone interested is invited to attend and see what we are all about. Join in the fun. 

There are at least four new buildings going up in the village and Lakeview, so a drive around always has something new to see. Work on the highway south of town still carries on, all for the betterment of everyone using it.
