“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,

stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without

ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or

bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the

Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he

thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means

a little bit more.”

- Dr. Seuss

A Message from your President

Well here we are closing on the end of 2014. Winter has arrived and has given

many of us a real workout. I have completed half of my term as president and I

feel that we have been very successful thanks to my executive and the numerous

volunteers that donate much of their free time.

Last chance for a friendly reminder Membership expires 31 December. Dues are

$45.00 before December 31 and $50.00 after that date. Dues can be paid to the

bar staff at the club.

On a Provincial note, our next Provincial meeting will be held in Lethbridge 2100

on the 17 January 2015. We also have 5 members going to Calgary to work a

Provincial casino 3 January.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas

and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Small deeds done are greater than great deeds planned

A Message from the Trustees

The snow has arrived. The Trustees would like to thank all the Members who

picked up the snow shovel in the last couple of weeks and helped us. Being a

member of our Club is very rewarding especially if you want to volunteer to

make it a better place. From shovelling snow, cutting grass, vacuuming,

washing floors, picking up empties, doing dishes or cooking, it’s all about the

club having a better environment. We have a busy month with parties, and I

am sure all of our members are busy as well preparing For Christmas. The

Trustees would like to take the opportunity to wish each and every One of

you a Very Merry Christmas and Prosperous Happy New year in 2015.
