North Battleford Senior Citizens Action Now held their annual meeting July 28.

President Margaret Kemp called on those gathered to observe a minute of silence for deceased members of the past year – Bernice Beatch, Ed Beloin, Marguerite Kovalsky, Paul Gregoire, Peter Dudek, Howard Weitzel and Theo Omelchenko.

Kemp was thanked for her many years of service and dedication as the membership accepted her resignation as president. Board members elected were Ruth Bilanski, Ruth St. Marie and Dave Manegre for three-year terms. Lucille Shutra will stay on for two years. New president is Faye Goll. Other officers are: Ruth Bilanski, vice-president; Stella Ewanchuk, treasurer; and Mary Nykiforuk, secretary.

Members decided to waive an audit and stay with the previous accountant. A new committee will discuss donations after membership is complete.

Other discussions included painting the building, an upcoming raffle and a games schedule starting in September.

The next meeting will be Monday, Sept. 13 at 1:30 p.m. and will be lengthy because planning for the coming year is on the agenda.

Action Now members remind everyone the centre, 1501 – 101st St. is again open five days a week starting Sept. 1. There are activities scheduled every afternoon at 1:30 p.m.: Monday – simple canasta; Tuesday – crafting; Wednesday – cash-back Kaiser; Thursday – advanced canasta; Friday – cribbage, and every second Friday – Norwegian Whist.

A Kaiser tournament is hosted Fridays at 7:30 p.m.

Please drop in. The members would be happy to see you.
