On behalf of Maidstone Health Care Auxiliary, Dorinda Fitzsimonds thanks everyone for the tremendous support of pie bingos this fall. From seven weeks of bingo at five cents a card and 10 cents for a blackout game, a $3,244.26 profit (after rent) was realized. We’ve had pie bingos since 1960 and are grateful to those who come out to enable us to provide health care assistance in our community.
Maidstone Legion Branch No. 142 invites you to drive by the Legion Hall on Main Street for a look at the new monument. With a portion of proceeds from poppy donations over the past years, the monument was built and placed in this spot. Members are so pleased with how it turned out. Thank you to Legion members for your design – it is truly an honour to veterans. The annual poppy campaign is now on and your support is appreciated. The Legion also looks forward to seeing you on Nov. 11 at the Remembrance Day ceremony in the Legion Hall with lunch following.
In their ongoing principle of improving the quality of life in our community, Synergy Credit Union, Maidstone branch, was excited to donate $2,500 towards the community outdoor sports court on Ratushniak Elementary playground. This pad will have six basketball hoops, at different heights for all levels of play, as well as space to host hockey nets. Thank you for your generous donation, Synergy.
Paynton Seniors’ Center will again be serving coffee Monday to Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come down to visit old friends and make some new ones.
