Coming Events Keep Things Hopping at the MRC





The Volunteer Appreciation Dinner held on Nov 7th was amazing. We had a total of 49 people come out and enjoy fellowship and a terrific meal catered by Joan's Catering of Fraserwood. Didn't get invited? Don't worry. You'll have plenty of upcoming events to volunteer for. Only members who volunteer a significant amount of their time over the course of the year get invited to this highly coveted event.

Love Joan's food? Then be sure to get your tickets for the Christmas Dinner & Dance to be held at the MRC on Saturday, December 12th from 5:30 p.m. until 1 am. Joan will be providing turkey and all the trimmings for a magnificent meal. Tickets are just $20 each (this barely covers the cost of catering) and are available from any board member. Cocktails at 5:30; dinner at 6:30. Get your tickets early as we will only have 150 available for this fabulous festive event. Final numbers will be provided to the caterer one week before the event, so no tickets will be available at the door. Questions? Call Darlene at 389-3593 or Marilyn at 389-2904.

Have some young ones in the family who can't wait for Christmas? Then be sure to drop by the MRC on Saturday, December 5th between 9 and 11 a.m. for "Breakfast With Santa." Mr. & Mrs. Santa will be on hand to take orders from all the young ones. A pancake breakfast will be served. Questions? Call Bev at 389-2357 or Georgeanne at 389-5375.

Do you enjoy decorating for Christmas? If so, drop by the hall on Wednesday, November 25th anytime after 9:30 a.m. and lend a hand. We'll be sprucing up the hall with lights, the Christmas tree and lots of decorations in anticipation of Santa's arrival.

If you enjoy cleaning and want to earn some extra cash, we are looking for a strong individual or team to keep the hall clean beginning January, 2010. Duties include garbage removal, keeping the washrooms spick and span, washing the tables, dusting throughout and cleaning the floors after every event (Bingo every Friday night and other special events as required.) We are offering a fee of $100 per cleaning for this service. If you are interested, please send notification by mail to Box 329, Matlock, MB R0C 2B0. If you have questions about the duties, please call Bev at 389-2357.

The next special event at the MRC is the annual Craft & Bake Sale. All our crafter's tables have been sold and we are anticipating a good turnout. Drop by on November 21st from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., but come early for he best selection. Call Darlene at 389-3593 if you have any questions.

That's all the news for now. We welcome your comments. We encourage your involvement.

Matlock loses a wonderfully warm resident

It is with sadness that we say goodbye to Marjorie (Marj, Margie) Meisner, who passed away suddenly in her home on Monday, March 27, 2017. Marjorie will be missed by husband Ron, and everyone who knew her. She always had a smile for everyone she encountered. Marjorie (on the right) playing the ukulele. Marjorie is best known for her musical talents. She loved to sing, and played the guitar, the tin whistle, and the ukulele--probably others, as Marjorie's life was greatly enhanced by her musical connections. A photo the Matlock Ukulele Club entertaining some guests at the Matlock Rec Club in December, 2016. Marjorie is shown in the pink sweater on the left. Marjorie loved to gather with friends and was a member of the informal music group that meets at the Matlock Rec Club. Do give Ron Meisner a hug when you see him.
