Great Maskwa Auction & Seeking Caterer

What a great Maskwa Auction on Saturday at Brewsters in Bedford. I judged over 50 people showed up to help support the fundraising initiatives for the high performance paddlers heading off to Florida for spring training. Over $5,700 was raised for the families attempting to raise money for their athletes. This would not be possible without the generous support of the Maskwa community at large, including the local HRM councillors who showed up to enjoy the afternoon with us. And, a huge thanks to all the parents, councillors, MLAs and businesses/organizations for their generous donation of supplies and goods for the auction.

This is a warning that with the freezing rain the driveway coming into the club is very icy and bumpy and the walkway around the deck into the gym is also icy. Please drive slow and walk carefully.

Today, I finally finished filling out the on-line application for federal summer jobs. This gets me excited because I love the thought of being able to hire youth and it gets my mind thinking of the upcoming summer. I’m officially counting the months now.

I wanted to also mention that Maskwa is in the process of securing a Caterer for the 2012 season. An ad was placed in The Chronicle-Herald on Saturday and it’s also listed on Kijji. I’ve included the specs below in case member of the Maskwa community might know of someone best suited for our club. Thanks everyone.
