The Sun is Shining and it's hot

Wow! The sun decided to shine down on us at Maskwa. Things are getting up and ready. I am happy to report our Canteen (10am-2pm) is operational. Today we sold out of freezies so I'll be making a special stop tonight at Costco for more of those and some penny candies for the little ones - who are so cute coming to the window with their quarter.

Our 1st Monday afternoon parent tea was a huge success. Special thanks to Debbie Grantham, & Barb Ferguson along with Sylvia Warren for organizing this. It's going to take place every Monday at 2pm in Heritage Hall.

Also we're working on Spa Day. Mark your calendars for Thursday, July 19th starting at 2pm in Heritage Hall. Thanks so much to Mary Negulic for helping to coordinate this fun filled event which is open to everyone. Tickets will be $10 and we will need other volunteers, but it certainly should be fun.

I spoke with a few teenagers today and they're going to help with a "Scary Movie" night at the lake on a Friday night - date to be determined, but again it will be a fundraiser and I will need volunteers (that night I might be hiding in the canteen as I can't even watch commercials for scary movies).

Also every Wednesday night at 7pm-8pm is Dragon Boat Night. It's $5 and lots of fun.

Just a reminder Maskwa is hosting the upcoming Bantam Regatta, Sat., July 17th. I will need at least 8 volunteers to help with the BBQ and 9 people for safety boats. We need your help to make this event successful. By now all paddling levels should have received an email from coaches asking for supplies. Bantam parents are asked to bring sandwiches, salads or desserts by 3pm on Friday, PeeWee parents were asked to donate snackie items for the canteen (bags of candy, popcorn, cheese & crackers, granola bars etc) and Atom level parents were asked to donate cases of pop, juice or water. Please email me at manager.maskwa@gmail.com if you're able to help in anyway.

Thanks so much.
