Bus Trip to see "Miss Magnolia's Senior Citizen Beauty Pageant"

We are planning a trip to Hazel Bluff to watch the play "Miss Magnolia's Senior Citizen Beauty Pageant" on March 8. Prior to the play there will be a buffet at the Courtyard in the Westlock Inn. The total cost of the trip is $90.

Since the Lincoln County Bus was in an accident we have booked the Handi bus which only holds 11 passengers plus Bernice Hewko and the driver. To be fair to everyone, we will have a draw for seats if more than 11 enter the draw. The deadline to enter the draw is noon on Feb. 13. To enter the draw, place your name and phone number on a piece of paper and place it in the draw box at the Senior Centre. The draw will take place at our Board meeting on Feb 17. Final payment is due no later than Feb. 25.
