Happy February!

Welcome February, after a remarkably cold December/January, I hope you bring us some better weather.

I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and were able to navigate through these continued COVID obstacles. The delayed opening of school definitely presented some extra challenges in my household as we had to find new ways to occupy our kids. We resorted to dancing in our house, finding new arts and crafts, playing with hot wheels, and YouTube kids yoga to name a few. It definitely helped pass the time.

January in the CKE community saw another successful bottle drive; thank you to our volunteers and contributors. If you have driven past the hall lately, maybe you have noticed our new sign? I hope you all like it; send me an email to let me know your thoughts! Also, we have our Casino night coming up on February 12 and 13 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino. This is our last call for volunteers. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. Please email Sue at [email protected] if you are interested.

Are you looking to contribute to the CKE community and volunteer your efforts? Joining the board is a great way to do so. We currently have a rare opening on the board that will allow you to collaborate with some great people and help make the CKE better for all. The position is Social Director and involves planning and executing community events. If this is something that interests you, please email us at [email protected].

We are taking registrations for 2022 CKE Memberships. The CKE Community Association is proud to offer an amazing Community Centre, programs, activities, services, and hall facilities for both community members and neighbouring residents. To take advantage of these services, a community membership is required. To read more about the benefits, pricing, and registration, please visit our website at www.ckecommunity.com/membership.

Also, a reminder that our CKE Community Hall is a fabulous place to host events! It can accommodate corporate events, birthday parties, weddings, anniversaries, social events and more! It is available for rent on an hourly or daily rate, so please get in touch with Jen at [email protected] if this interests you.
