The longest day of the year has past, so it must be summer. We have had enough rain for awhile, so everyone think... HEAT! SUNSHINE!
Our Community was saddened last month in the loss of our friend, Reg Coles. Reg enjoyed his retirement here, golfing in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter. Sincere condolences to Marilyn and his children, Chad and Tanis and their families.
We'd like to welcome new residents Ron and Darlene Farrell to our community. We hope that they enjoy their new home and our community.
Gladys and Brent Moore are moving to BC to be near their daughter Tracey and her family. We are going to miss them on the golf course and coffee row, but know they will enjoy their new home.
Good Spirit Acres Community Association is now on FACEBOOK!! People who are familiar with this media, can get up-to-date information of up-coming events in our community.
On July 5 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during Cruisin' Weekend in the Park, Richard Winters will have his VW Beetle at the Good Spirit Market filled with balloons. For $2.00, residents and visitors can make a guess on how many balloons there are in Richard's car. The winner will receive a gift certificate from the Good Spirit Market. This is a fund-raiser for the Community Assoc. With hopes of making improvements to Spilchen Meadows.
Jocelyn Winters will be holding a "Kids Club" during July and August every Wed. From 10 - 11 a.m. starting July 2 (but excluding July 9) until August 27th at Spilchen Meadows for children ages two to ten. This program is sponsored by the GSA Community Assoc. as well as the Boys and Girls Club of Yorkton. She will have games and crafts for the children. There are limited spaces for this club, so parents must register their child with Jocelyn at 306-621-6209. Parents of children under five years of age must stay for the morning.
The Toilet Seat Golf Tournament will be held on Sunday, Sept 14 at 3 p.m. (after the Rider game) followed by a pot luck supper at Spilchen Meadows. The golf tournament is a fun game of Texas Scramble.
On September 20, the Community Association will be holding a steak or chicken supper at the Good Spirit Golf Course Restaurant. Supper will be served from 5-7 p.m. Tickets will $20 each and you can purchase them from Elaine Park, Lynn MacDonald, Carol Olsen, Richard or Jocelyn Winters and at the Good Spirit Market.
The Hamlet Annual Meeting will be held on Sept 28. There will be an election of a councillor who will hold office for four years.
Our Hamlet was sprayed for tent caterpillars last month, and so far, it looks like it was worth while. Areas that weren't sprayed have had the little beasts devour the leaves on those trees.
Senior men's and women's Golf is held every Tues. and Thurs. Morning. We meet at 9 a.m. to draw teams and tee off at 9:30 for nine holes of golf. It only costs a loonie to enter!
The men golf on Saturdays and Sundays (also Mondays of long weekends) at 8 a.m. Be there at 7:30 to be put on a team. You can phone the clubhouse 306-792-4600, to have your name entered for these games.
The Ladies' Golf Tournament will be on July 12 - phone the clubhouse to enter.
That's it for this month. Have a good summer!
If we shouldn't have midnight snacks, how come there is a light in the refrigerator?
