Mother Nature decided to give us another taste of winter. Hopefully this will be the last big dump of snow, then a slow melt, & soon time to get the golf clubs ready!
The RM Council are watching to keep roads and culverts clear this spring. It is sure nice to be able to drive on #229 & not worry about flooding.
There was a very good crowd at Good Spirit Prov. Park last Sat. to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Even a couple of leprechans showed up. It was fun to visit with friends & new acquaintances after the long hard winter. Thanks to all the ladies who made the delicious stew, to Lynn for the wonderful bread & many others who brought desserts... (there would have been enough to fill Blackie up!) Many silent auctions items were donated which made for a lot of fun, people outbidding your neighbor, for the fun of it!!! The Community Assoc. cleared a good profit which will be used in our Hamlet for other social functions or improvements needed in Spilchen Meadows. Thank you everyone!!
Welcome to the Greg Ostafie family who have moved to Good Spirit Acres as permanent residents. There were a couple of other homes sold over the winter, as vacation homes. We look forward to meeting all of you, & hope that you enjoy your new homes.
Winners of last month’s Art’s Council Ballet Jorden Canada, tickets was Carol Olsen, who invited Mickey Johnston to join her. Next concert will be Barra MacNeils singers, & Elaine will notify the winner of those tickets.
The Hamlet Council has scheduled our Spring Informational meeting for May 17 at 2:30 p.m. at the Golf Course. We will cover last year’s financial, present a budget for this year with the Mill rate for 2015. They hope to have some possibilities to solve our water problem. Please plan to attend this informational meet. This is your community, & they need your input, and encouragement.
The Community Assoc will also have their annual meeting at that time. There are several members of the executive who are retiring this year, & we definitely need people to step up & continue the work of the Assoc. The executive welcomes new residents to Good Spirit Acres, & gives them phone lists of residents, as well as information they need to know. They also plan social functions, fund raisers, golf tournaments for the community.
Some residents have asked me to remind people that dogs should be either on a leash or kept in your own fenced in yards, instead of wandering the community & leaving their droppings in other peoples’ yards. It is frustrating having to pick up dog poop when you don’t even own a dog!! Be a good neighbor & pick up after your dog.
Have a Happy Easter!! Hope the Easter Bunny finds your house!!
