The family of Stewart Cunningham held a come and go tea Jan. 16 in the Speers Recreation Centre to celebrate Stewart's 80th birthday. Nearly 100 family and friends helped Stewart celebrate. His birthday is actually on Jan. 26, but they celebrated early as Stewart and Phyllis will be in Spain on the actual date.

A family dinner preceded the come and go tea. A song about Stewart's 'favourite things" was sung by the family and entertainment continued throughout the afternoon.

Stewart and Phyllis Cunningham, Paul and Kathy McAllister, Rob and Diane Jones and Keith Cunningham spent a week near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to ring in the New Year.

Visiting with Colleen and Norman Wicks for New Year's Day were Denise and Jorda Thomas of North Battleford. Elaine Milman spent a few days visiting with Debbie and Dennis Kennedy and families, also with my sister-in-law Marguerete Zunich all of Saskatoon, to help ring in the New Year.

Sarah Jones of Speers was named to the Sask. Ski Team to compete in the Canada Winter Games to be held in Halifax in February. We all wish Sarah good luck in her endeavours.
