With Earth Day coming up later this month, the Forest Grove Walking Group has scheduled its annual cleanup day for April 20, and everyone is welcome to join in.
The meeting point is the fire hall at 11 a.m. Garbage bags will be provided, but please bring gloves and other “tools” that will make picking up trash from the side of the road easier.
For more information, please either contact Richard Bergen at 250-397-2876 or Marianne Van Osch at 250-397-2625.
Darts tournament
The annual Legion Circuit Darts Tournament will take place on April 18 at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #261-Forest Grove.
Please arrive for registration between 9 and 10 a.m., with a 10.30 a.m. blind draw/3 on 3 and an 11 a.m. start. The entry fee is $10 per player and includes lunch.
Legion News
A lot of people attended this year’s fundraiser – going towards a new roof for the Forest Grove Community Hall – on March 21.
There were more than 90 items to choose from in the silent auction – from jams and jewelry to books, paintings and prints, as well as clothes and much more, which individuals bid on enthusiastically.
Tables were decorated with colourful balloons and scented candles, inviting patrons to stay and partake in the weekly meat draw, as well as the subsequent birthday cake offering.
The Class Mates played after dinner and the auction having completed, tempting folk to “twirl” on the dance floor or simply sit and enjoy the music until late.
Calendar
• A dinner and dance is planned for April 25 at the Forest Grove Legion – details to follow.
