more summer fun in Matlock
Canada Day was a blast! We had a super turnout and served 108 dinners to Matlock & area residents. Thanks to everyone for coming out. It sure would be nice if we could combine our efforts with the folks in Ponemah next year. They still have their parade in the morning, but end up in Matlock & we all celebrate the rest of the day together. What do you think? We have terrific activities for the kids and families during the afternoon followed by a great dinner that is free for members & volunteers. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all celebrate Canada Day together? Please make your thoughts known by commenting on this blog.
The Car Rally on July 11th was also a success. We served up 325 pancake breakfasts at the MRC. That just might be a record! Thanks to everyone who attended. There were many positive comments as to the beauty and functionality of our facility. If you or anyone you know is interested in renting out the hall, please call Jackie or Derek Lechman at 389-5663 or 641-2313. The Lechmans are the fine couple who have been keeping our hall so spotless this year. Hats off to them for their top notch cleaning abilities.
Please note that MRC president Bev Stevens now has a new contact number. If you'd like to get ahold of Bev for community business, please call 389-4340. Bev retired from the real estate business last month, and now just has this number as her contact number.
The next big summer event in Matlock will be the first ever Matlock Festival of Music, Art & Nature (with hope to be an annual event.) This event is not an event of the MRC, but rather is being organized by Matlock residents, Noah Erenberg and Cheryl Cohan. Full information about the festival is available at this link: http://www.mts.net/~flatout/. Volunteers are needed. Call Cheryl at (204) 642-2452 or e-mail diggerwoman@hotmail.com to offer your assistance, teach a workshop or rent a table in the artisans' site.
So much is happening in the area this summer. If you feel like dressing up in early 20th century garb, you might like to attend the Gala Evening in Celebration of St. Andrews Lock & Dam 100th Anniversary to be held at Lower Fort Gary on Sunday, August 15th. Tickets are $200 each. See www.lockportmanitoba.ca for more information about this event and the big 100th anniversary celebrations in Lockport taking place during the August 20th weekend.
And please be advised that the Matlock Rec Club is holding a special meeting of its members on Sunday, September 12th at 2 pm. A formal notice will be mailed to members. Please attend, as we will be presenting the revised constitution for the club.
Enjoy the rest of the summer while it lasts!
