ALIDA - The Alida Rec. Board members held another event on Dec. 1 at the Alida Hall. This was the second annual Lisette Dubuc Memorial Christmas Bingo fundraiser. There were special games, cash and prizes. There was also Chinese and silent auctions and a beer garden to enjoy.
It was a great way to start the holiday season off right. The board appreciated all donations received for this event and continued support for their events.
Act One Production held a meeting Nov. 28 to see if there was enough interest for another fundraising show this coming March. People's help is needed and will be greatly appreciated as lots of volunteers are needed.
It was decided to look around to see if there’s someone interested in acting in this year’s play or maybe at least helping out behind the scenes. The number that is interested will decide which play will be chosen. Let’s hope we’ll be able to hold another drama event in March.
Contact Shanna Carriere, Diane Potapinski, or Tim or Shelly Cowan if you’re interested and haven’t been contacted.
