There鈥檚 been a switch-a-roo at the Alida Post Office once again. We now have to say good-bye to Jackie Henderson who was been our new and faithful postmistress for the last couple of months in 2020 while Linda Akins was on sick leave.
Sorry to see you leave Jackie, you did an awesome job while here and we鈥檒l miss your cheerful greetings. Now we welcome Linda back with open arms 鈥� great to have you back and see your smiling face back behind the counter and receive your cheerful greetings. See you around and do take care.
Birthday greetings for this coming week are extended to Owen Boettcher on Jan. 23; and Shelly Cowan, Shelley Boutin and Albert Boutin 鈥� Jan. 27. Happy birthday to you all and may you have many more to come.
Just a reminder 鈥� I hope that you have placed your pizza order with the Alida Rec. Board, who has decided to make and sell homemade pizzas (pepperoni, ham/pineapple, cheese or loaded) as a fundraiser. Deadline for placing your order was Jan.16, and the pickup/delivery date is Jan. 23. Enjoy your pizzas.
Hubby and his sister Joyce George of Redvers also received word that their cousin鈥檚 wife Marie Hannesson of Winnipeg had passed away Jan. 15 at the age of 97 years. Condolences are extended to all family members.聽聽
