How the money will be utilized at The Gardens

Daizee Wiebe, Supportive Housing Coordinator at The Gardens on Tenth in Altona told us how the money from this Soup & Pie fundraiser will be put to work: "With the addition of assisted living suites, our meal program has expanded drastically. We are hoping to purchase new dining room tables and chairs for the apartments so that we can manage more seating for more tenants from the apartments and the manner who utilize our meal services."

History

Karla Fehr is on the organizing committee for the Blumenort Mennonite Church Centennial Celebration and touched on the history of the church: "It was started by Mennonites who came to Manitoba in the 1920s. They had endured terrible persecution in Ukraine/Russia since 1918 and a famine in 1921. The first families came to southern Manitoba in August of 1923, and small groups started meeting for worship that fall. 

It's quickly becoming a community staple, The Community Exchange in Altona is set and ready to host another FREE Community Meal and concert tomorrow evening!

Paul Bergman

Paul Bergman along with his cousin Karl Redding will be the main act taking the stage at TCE tomorrow and if you're curious what kind of music they bring to the table, here's what Paul had to say:

Homemade gifts are best

What makes a better Mother's Day gift than something handmade with creativity and love? That is exactly what the SCRL Altona Branch is offering with their next workshop!

Librarian and workshop organizer Michelle McLaughlin explains what the craft will be: "Right, so I've made a call out to all the dads and grandpas or caregivers who want to come in with their young ones to make a fun bookmark for their mom or grandma."

Lowe Farm School is very excited to be hosting, for the first time in a long time, a scholastic book fair! For the entire student body it will be first time experiencing a very nostalgic event for many of us who grew up with the iconic event.

It's taking place at the Lowe Farm School office April 22nd - 24th, 9:00am-4:00pm each day. Just come ring the doorbell and they will let you in to shop.
