The weather was perfect for the children and youth ball tournament held at the R.A. on Saturday and Sunday. There was no rain which made it perfect for them. There were a good number of spectators which is always nice for the kids and it makes them try harder I am sure, when they know someone is watching.
Fern and Helen Laliberté had a special celebration on the weekend of Sept. 2. Their son David with his son Ryan with his son Gabriel were all there to visit and celebrate Helen’s birthday on Sept. 3 and Ryan’s on Sept. 2. They went to the fire hall where the men put on bunker suits and posed for a four generation picture. They are all volunteer fire fighters and they hope the youngest will do the same when he grows up. They had a wonderful celebration.

We heard from Father Ghislain and he is slowly recuperating and still needs our prayers.
The special anniversaries celebration (five, ten, fifteen, etc.) is coming up on Sept. 16 at the 5 o’clock mass at St. John’s so we hope to have a good attendance. There will be around 21 couples celebrating and receiving a special blessing and certificate from the parish. Father Ghislain had really hoped to be back for that celebration.
Our snowbirds are wondering if there will be places left to go to next winter in Florida with all the terrible destruction.
Jeff Presley from Mickey Creek had a medical issue and a short stay at the hospital but from what I hear he is doing well now. We send him our good wishes.
The parish supper at St. John’s on Sunday was very well attended. On behalf of the parishioners I want to thank everyone from our neighbouring parishes who came and supported us. It is very appreciated. The kitchen was abuzz with all the men cooking. It was such a nice sight to see. The quilt which was made and donated by Catherine Lawn that we sold tickets on raised $2,600. It was drawn at the supper and was won by Maurice Dubeau. We really appreciate Catherine’s donation and hard work put into that beautiful quilt.
Janice and Bonnie Beauregard did all the distribution and handling of the tickets so we say thank you to both of them for a job well done.
I spoke briefly to Aggie Morin at the supper and she is doing well. She said the treatments were extremely hard but she is slowly climbing the hill. We wish her the best.
My husband told me that I am spoiled. Last week Merlin Brown brought me in beautiful tomatoes that were sent to me by his brother Evans Brown, to him I say thanks they are delicious. I may be the spoiled one but he enjoys them as well.
I guess that is about it, if I missed something I can get to it next week. So happy birthday to everyone celebrating and happy anniversary and to all not well we send you our best wishes for a fast recovery.
We extend our sympathies to the family of Brian Stanton who passed away last week.
