President’s Message MERRY/HAPPY SPRINGTIME!
HO! HO! HO! Can you believe this weather… it has
been a very long WINTER! When I wrote
my March President’s Report I only had some “snow” (in the shady areas) left
to melt, but now it is like real winter all over again and I have a yard full
of snow! Was mid-April our
Spring/Summer? Hopefully, we can soon
put the shovels away (for a few months, until next winter) and bring out our
gardening and lawn tools! We hope you will join us this coming Monday,
April 28th at our monthly SRA meeting. We are going to have a “video night” (including fresh popped popcorn) and watch
Fred and Alice Chow’s memorable trip to China! We sure hope the weather improves by
June. Please remember to mark the
evening of Monday, June 9th
on your calendar because that will be our Annual SRA Picnic (to be
held at Rundle Park, between 5 pm – 7 pm). It is a pot luck event…so you will receive a
call to let us know if you plan to attend, how many guests you plan to bring
and to let us know what you will be bringing (eg. salad, munchies or
dessert)! All the hotdog buns,
wieners, condiments, etc. will be provided.
It’s a FUN time and it will be our last meeting until Monday,
September 29th. Hope to see
you there! Another friendly reminder - if you are
a paid member – thank you for your “financial support” to our
membership! If you have not paid yet –
PLEASE see Fred or Alice Chow at our meeting and they will gladly take your
membership money and get you paid-up and in “good standing”! Our membership fees are very reasonable at
$10.00 for a single person or $15.00 for a family, for the year! We also welcome charitable donations and a
tax receipt will be issued to you for them.
We are a “non-profit” organization but we do have some expenses that
need to be paid. |
If
you have any other ideas and or topics you would like to hear discussed at
our meetings, please let us know by leaving a message on our SRA phone
(number 485-3052) and someone will get back to you. We also have a website at www.sraedmonton.org. Congratulations
to Bev & Leighton Decore who have become 1st time Grandparents
on April 4th to Grandson Jasper Lucien Decore! Our Deepest Sympathy to Erna Hubscher and
family in the passing of her husband Gustav (both were members of our SRA
Group for many years).
Until
next month, Bye4Now… Gladys
Marie Magega, President of the SRA - Edmonton

On The Lighter Side New Apartment A property manager of an
apartment complex was showing a unit to prospective tenants and asking the
usual questions. "Professionally
employed?" he asked."We're a military family," the wife
answered. "Children?" "Oh, yes, ages nine and twelve,"
she answered proudly. "Animals?" "Oh,
no," she said earnestly.
"They're very well behaved." |
