White Rock news

Hello, everyone. Where did the summer go? If you find it, let me know because the past week has felt a lot like autumn weather. I think with the rain it was blink and summer was gone. You know what that means; school days are close at hand.

The card party for Aug. 19 had another great turnout with 11 tables in attendance. The ladies’ first prize went to Jean Spinney. Helen Hutt won ladies’ second while Tracey Pick won the ladies’ low for the evening.

Gents’ first went to John Griffiths and Howard Coldwell won gents’ second. Dick Weir won the gents’ low prize.

Mary Coldwell won the door prize and Howard Coldwell took the traveler. The 50/50 prize went to Ken Long.

Both Ken Long and John Griffiths returned their winnings to the hall. The prizes were donated by Freeman and Violet Levy as well as Dick and Marie Weir. Everyone had a great time.

Don’t forget, the White Rock Community Association will have itsmonthly meeting Aug. 27. Everyone is welcome to attend.
