The LA is sponsoring a $500 scholarship for the first time this year. It is open to residents of the 鈥淔our Lakes鈥� area. If none apply, the residency may be enlarged to include Interlakes from Lone Butte to Lac des Roches.
Food Safe
A Food Safe class is scheduled for May 29 at Deka Firehall. This is only for members of the LA, VFD, Deka Lake & District Ratepayers鈥� Association and Mountain Spruce Community Centre Society.
If you wish to participate, call Penny Millway at 250-593-4521 to see if space remains.
Chairlift
By way of thanking Dori Dennison for installing the chairlift at Deka Firehall, the LA ladies presented him with a $200 gift certificate for RONA. 鈥淣ow you won鈥檛 have to climb those stairs anymore!鈥�
The LA is looking foward to welcoming the Log Cabin Quilters for lunch at their next meeting, April 4.
