We made our life here and I’m going to finish it here for as long as I can, there as been no better place to finish it off than our Lakes District. We arrived here by accident and it has been the best move we ever made. Yes, there are so many wonderful old friends in our Lakes District. Harold tells me that I have known him when he was no bigger than an over sized grasshopper and that’s a lot of years. We have so much in common and I bet you know what we talk about, you guessed it horses we have known and had worked with. I had such a nice visit with my great old friend Harold Clark. Tell a few stories of the old days and just visit. My door is always open to any of my friends to stop in and have a coffee and what’s called a chin wag. Monday morning looking out my office window two more loads of heavy mill equipment from Ootsa Lake mill going out. Geri MacNab won the guitar at the Grassy Plains performance and John McFee won the guitar draw in Burns Lake. This was such a wonderful program to be shared by the Southside folks. This was sponsored by Rio Tinto Alcan and Lakes District Arts Council. This was in the Grassy Plains Community Hall.
The Southside folks were able to enjoy Pavlo in concert on Oct. I must not forget the art display for all to enjoy. Thanks again to the financial sponsors for your generous support and again for those who give time and energy to make it all happen. Hats off the our arts council for presenting us with such a variety of musical entertainment of such high class. Pavlo and his three companions gave us such an evening, it seemed over too soon. It’s amazing what a guitar with professionals can do, spellbinding to say the least.
This was called Mediterranean Nights in the Lakes District. On Sunday night at the Lakes District Secondary School multipurpose room we were once more treated to another special evening of music that was out of this world, believe me. Our education may have a few flaws but compared to other countries it’s pie in the sky so to say. It’s very hard for girls to get an education. The goal that evening was to raise money to help pay for two sponsored students. If they can not pay they will be sent home. Students who attend Grades 8-12 have to pay for their education. In Kenya the government will not pay for secondary students to attend school. This was a dinner with the proceeds to help the churches sponsored students. On Sunday evening tere was a spaghetti dinner held at the Immaculata church.
