I would like to pay tribute to these two remarkable ladies who I just found out passed away earlier in the year. They both made a lasting impression on my life when I was quite young and inexperienced and then later on in life. I met both of these ladies while working for the Dept. of Education in 1979-1981. Hazel was my supervisor and Penny worked for the Correspondence unit at the time. It was a pleasure to work with them as they were both so kind, patient, with a good sense of humour and always smiling! Penny would invariably come down to the 2nd floor whenever her work sent her that way (and even other times as well lol!). To be able to learn from these two amazing women was
inspir-ing. Then to see that they had joined the Golden Sunset Club in Pilot Butte - I was so happy to see their famil-iar faces! Their desire to volunteer and help where possible, was an asset to the GSC. I recall them having musi-cians (Hazel’s brother for one, if I remember correctly) come and perform for club events. Both Hazel and Penny were at numerous GSC monthly lunches (among other occasions) and it was always great to see them and have a quick visit. Hazel would also bring her Mom once in awhile and I had the pleasure of meeting her as well. It is noted in both their
obituaries that Mr. Herb Partridge was referred to as their “second Father”. What a testament to the loving and caring nature of both ladies.
April!
April showers bring May flowers!
Or perhaps should I say “snow” ha
ha? Spring is here even if we did get
a surprise snow storm! The birds
have returned and everyone has a
“spring” in their step. We took the
opportunity at preschool this April to
take another look at the theme
"Friends Forever” to learn the social
skills of “Understanding Personal
Space” and “How to Interrupt
Polite-ly”! We also worked on a special
"All About Me" project, another
tra-dition at preschool, that we send
home in our Memory Boxes at the
end of the year
For the second half of April we are
looking forward to our theme on
“Transportation”. Buses, cars,
planes, boats and trains will take
centre stage. We will learn all about
the types of vehicles that travel our
roads, waterways and fly in our skies!
We can’t wait to enjoy making “tire
track” paintings with small toy
vehi-cles, bus driver hats, paper airplanes
and getting “stuck” in a “traffic jam”
while playing inside our giant fire
truck and school bus tents. See you
next month!
Recreation Board in conjunction with Sask Lotteries Assistance Grant, for ongoing donation to our newsletter. The donation
from the Rec Board enables the News and viewS to keep publishing and aids in local sports, culture and recreation advertising. Our continued thanks for the support!
The grant allows expansion of the News and viewS as necessary, with local content, assorted advertising and hopefully making it more appealing and interesting to read.
The Town of Pilot Butte provides financial funding as well as continued support in other ways. The Town has pledged to ensure that the News and viewS will publish, no matter what! Thank you to the Town for their ongoing and continuing support. It takes a tremendous financial worry off of the volunteers! The R.M. of Edenwold also supplies the newsletter with financial funding and we use a portion of these funds to send copies of the newsletters to some R.M. residents.
This financial windfall (for us!) is enabling us to produce a larger, more attractive newsletter for your enjoyment. We hope that we can continue to provide a quality of newsletter that makes us the
“must read” item each month.
We truly appreciate the support and could not publish without this funding along with our backpage sponsors.
