Women
on Snowmobiles is a cavalcade of women volunteer snowmobilers who will ride
across Saskatchewan, passing through many cities and towns in eight days and covering
approximate 1,800 kms. Numerous sleds and riders will join them throughout the
ride. Prairie Women on Snowmobiles Inc. was formed when two friends, one a breast
cancer survivor, asked her friend to snowmobile across Saskatchewan to raise funds
for breast cancer research. Together the two planned, organized and implemented
PWOS. The goal since conception has been to have this Mission go across Saskatchewan
each and every year to raise funds for breast cancer.
Dinner
Theatre: This year Dinner Theatre will be different. We thank our coordinators
and director for taking it upon themselves to be innovative in keeping the Kenaston
Dinner Theatre alive and refreshed. Two short plays will be presented, and interspersed
by variety show acts. There are openings for local talent to perform and you are
invited to contact Cathy Enns to find out more about her ideas and theme. The
meal will be catered which was a very important decision to be made, and one that
has talked about for several years as those who attend the planning meeting are
aware. This year we all get to sit back and enjoy the evening without kitchen
duty. Please encourage friends and relatives to visit home during the dinner theatre
weekend. Let's keep our attendance strong and supportive so our Dinner Theatre
can continue in its fame.
ZID:
The ZID organization would like to remind us that they still do catering to functions
and events. Contact ZID president Pat Taylor 252-2777 to book their services.

Our
Environment "Air pollution is closely linked to choices we make individually
and collectively around the production, distribution and consumption of energy.
It is amazing to realize how our driving habits, to cooking our foods to shopping,
bathing, laundry, lighting and food habits - contribute to creating air pollution
and smog as they all involve energy use directly or indirectly. The connection
between energy and air pollution is simple: the more energy we consume, the more
extraction and processing of fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas) is required, the more
releases of pollutants in the air in the process." http://www.communityenvironment.org/?page=specialprojects

New
Community Page: You may have noticed that the www.kenaston.ca home page has
changed. The direct domain link (kenaston.ca) now goes to a Welcome Page for visitors,
which is appropriate since we want visitors to get the highlights of our site
at first glance and not be confused by the various off-site links. The new
community page allows us to develop a more comprehensive communication tool
that's just for us. If you are not using it please let us know why as we may be
able to accommodate you by linking to your most used on-line locations. See details
at www.kenaston.ca. Contact: Glen Pavelich 252-2711.
Highway
Signage Project. The donation boxes for the Highway Signage project are now
in place. If we all drop in a loonie or toonie a month, then Chamber will be able
to get the project started much sooner. Watch for the jars around town at the
Co-op, Hoffmanns, CJ's, Café and Credit Union. They will stay in place
to remind us that we must keep up the habit on a monthly basis. If your family,
your club or organization has funds to donate to the project take your donation
to the Village of Kenaston for a tax-deductible receipt. If you do not need a
tax receipt then take your donation to Chamber Treasurer Susan Anholt.
Kenaston
Crossroads: Next issue April/May. To sponsor an issue of your community newsletter
(approximately $30.00, or $60.00 if you wish exclusive sponsorship) please contact
Susan Anholt 252-2769. If you have suggestions or announcements for the Crossroads
please contact Glen Pavelich 252-2711. Remember, the Kenaston Crossroads is published
on our website so you can email the direct link to family and friends. Walking
Trail: Shirley Huggins has generously offered a variety of trees (in the sapling
stage) for the walking trail. Before we can accept her offer we need to plan a
watering strategy. We need an individual(s) to make a commitment to weed, water,
mulch (or Round-Up) for at least two summers. Beyond that we need a wise individual
to determine what tree to plant where and also worker bees to do the planting.
If you can fulfill any of these roles, contact Susan Anholt Tip:

Water
Tower Project - January, 2007
The Water Tower Fund Stands at $7,576.65
Our
water tower, the only "lighthouse style" water tower remaining in Saskatchewan
is one of five wooden water towers in Saskatchewan remaining on their original
site. The restoration budget will be in the area of $8,000 to $10,000. Once restored,
the water tower will be tourist destination and available to house a summer business
that seeks a unique structure and historic ambiance. To date, thanks to the donors
who have contributed to our projects, the water tower fund stands at $7,576.65.
The Chamber plans to restore this building in 2007 (Frank Masich & Gene Whitehead
will coordinate the project) and we are into the final countdown financially.
Any and all donations are needed and would be appreciated!
