ALIDA - Congratulations to Kaitlyn Bonokoski and Collin Wilcott, who are the proud parents of a baby girl, Brooke Taylor Wilcott. She arrived safe and sound on Feb. 19. Kaitlyn had worked for Girard Bulk Service Ltd. in Alida.

Congratulations also to Meghan and Damien Labelle on the safe arrival of their baby girl Makayla on March 1. Makayla is the proud baby sister to Xavier. Meghan worked at the Alida Prairie Pride Credit Union and will be back after her maternity leave is done.

Welcome to the following people who have found employment in Alida: Charity Lemieux is now working at the Alida Girard Bulk Service Ltd., Christine Merkley is now working full time at the Prairie Pride Credit Union’s Alida branch, filling in for the maternity leave, and Crystal Lupannko is currently working part time at the Alida branch as well. Congratulations to all three.

Before one realizes it but it will be time for the Alida Rec Board members to be getting the swimming pool ready for the upcoming season. They are now accepting applications for lifeguards and are asking that those who are interested to send resume and certificates by April 15 to Cheryl Harrison.

There’s a little competition going on between 361 Café and the post office as to which one of them will be the top seller of the $10 ticket squares on a shopping spree among several different participating vendors. Another quick fundraiser for the Alida Rec. Board. Get your square ASAP and good luck.

It has been drawn to my attention that there may be interest in purchasing copies of the Alida history books, Refection of Reciprocity Volume 1 and 2, and/or volume 3. The set of Volume 1 and 2 was published in 1989 – it is the history of Alida and area including Auburnton, Cantal, and Nottingham from their beginning to 1989. It costs $50 for the set). Volume 3 is a revision of the first history books covering 1989 to 2013 and costs $50.
