The Lions in Meota have lost another member in the person of Rita Schenker. The community offers their condolences to her family. A recent report of the work that the Lions do in this area makes one realize that it takes many folks to do it all. They are looking for new members to help keep the organization with enough workers to share the workload and also benefit from the camaraderie that comes with membership. So now may be the time for newcomers to become part of our proud little village. There will not be any Easter bunnies available from the Lions this year because of the pandemic.
They are still playing pickleball in Oliver, B.C., but play as singles, not as couples. SSAI is celebrating “Let no one be alone” week. Now more than ever smiles and laughter are precious. They have an idea for a theme each day ‑ communications, exercise, spiritual practises, arts, music, nature and virtual world. It’s pretty hard to celebrate when their material doesn’t get to Do Drop In members earlier and we can’t get together anyway. We will see what they have sent out, and figure out if we can do anything with the material. The Chitek Lake Bush Buddies Virtual Survival Rally slated for Feb. 13 is sold out, The snowmobile trails are groomed and in good condition for anyone wanting to enjoy a ride out in nature. It is a great trail.
