Well--another week and another Shopper to share.
The big news is the local School Referendum. The election is April 4. About 80% of this week's paper is ads for or against it, so there isn't too much else to report this week. The "yes" folks seem to have more ads than the "no" folks. Most, if not all, of the WT's are hoping it will pass. We will let you know on Wednesday if it passed or not.
Tee won the $50 Community Spirit prize this week, sponsored by the local Lions' Club. We will expect her to buy coffee for all of us. Irene's husband sold her the ticket.
"Ice Age" is playing at the theatre until April 13th. Looks as if we are doing our share to make it the #1 movie at the box office this week. Lots of cars were on the street by the theatre this weekend.
Dorothy's husband put in an ad wishing her a Happy Birthday on April 2 (Today!). There's a good photo of her in her nurse's uniform from years' past. She and Naomi are the same age--just hours apart.
The Fourth of July Committee is looking for donations to help with the costs of our local celebration. Most of us will dig deep and help with our time or money. It's a great celebration in our town. There is also a salad luncheon on Thursday, April 13th, at the American Legion sponsored by the Auxiliary. Proceeds from that will help to fund the Fireworks and the Kids' Rides. Sounds like a reason for a WT outing!
The local hospital is in need of recipes for the cookbook that they are compiling for a fundraiser. The Lutherans did one last year. In a small town, there will be duplication of recipes, but they make great gifts.
There's a reminder for all of us to turn our clocks ahead for DST. We should all have done it by now.
Signs of Spring:
The Rummage Sale season has begun--there are a couple of ads for these sales and garage sales (what's the difference?) this week.
There is one ad looking for bids for mowing.
Easter Brunch ads are springing up.
DST started--whether we are ready for it or not!
Kind of a slow "news" week. Should be better next week. Until then . . .
