Bragg Creek Centre
Hello Bragg Creekers,
It’s December already! As we wind down the last days of 2019 we want to take a moment to remember some highlights of this past year.
- First annual Skuzzy Beach Party fundraiser was a raging success!
- The Bragg Creek Church volunteered to serve up Easter Pancake Breakfast.
- We brought back the Community Rummage Sale.
- Despite a literal torrential downpour we saw the largest attended Bragg Creek days in history!
- Another delicious meal and great time served up by the Ladies Auxiliary at the Fall Supper.
- If the blood-curdling screams were any indication, the Halloween Howler Haunted House was the best yet thanks to the Redwood Meadows Fire Fighters!
At the end of October the BCCA held its AGM where we welcomed our newly elected 2019 – 2020 Board of Directors!
We are excited to introduce our Executive:
- Alannah Turner – President
- Peggy Rupert – Past President
- Tanya Kamachi – Vice President
- Bonnie Koetsier – Treasurer
- Sherri Olsen – Assistant Treasurer
- Carrie Hucal – Secretary
Plus eight directors: Calvin Hansen, Carol Ann Schmaltz, Jana Hart, Laura Matthews-Clarke, Lisa Johnston, Renate Van Der Zande, Rose Dallyn, Teresa Stokke.
A huge thank you to our out-going board members Lisa Vanderwekken and Megan Moon-Grant, you will be missed! We are looking forward to working with such a talented group of volunteers and a successful 2019/2020 year.
Our Remembrance Day ceremony was highly attended this year with standing room only! We would like to give thanks to our Ladies Auxiliary for providing the snacks and refreshments. The Remembrance Day Committee; John Patton, Terry Handrahan and Lynn Gallen along with the Turner Valley Legion, planned a very thoughtful event to commemorate those who gave their lives for ours. Also a thank you to Harder & Sons for doing a wonderful job clearing the cenotaph of all the snow.
Upcoming
Mark December 7th on your calendars as our annual Kids Only Store is quickly approaching! As always it coincides with the Spirit of Christmas which takes place the first full weekend in December. The store will be open from 10am to 3pm. Christmas crafts, face painting, and Storytime hosted by the Snowbirds Seniors Fellowship will be held in the gym to entertain your children while they wait to shop for their loved ones. Parents can warm up and relax with a hot beverage or a quick bite from the concession as their children are assisted by our helper elves. Shoppers must be twelve and under. Please note that there will be a limit of four gifts per child and no item will be over $20. We are still looking for NEW re-saleable items for the store. If you have any that you would like to donate please drop off during office hours.
Ball Hockey is coming to the Centre! Starting January 8th every Wednesday from 7:30 – 9:30 we will be offering Co- ed Adult Ball Hockey. Registrations are open now. Email info@braggcreekca.com for more info. (Drop in available)
Do you like to laugh? Do you like to dance? Keep an eye on our social media, website and the High Country News Online Calendar for our upcoming 2020 events like our annual Beach Party fundraiser and Comedy night! More details to come soon.
On behalf of the BCCA Board and Staff we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
