A message from Rutherford School: 

On Saturday, March 7th, 2020, Rutherford Elementary School, in Bonnie Doon, is hosting a fundraiser 'For the Love of Rutherford', which is a gala and silent auction event.

Our school is facing a 9% budget cut this year.  Proceeds from this crucial fundraiser will go directly towards enriching student programming at Rutherford School.  

We are reaching out to the Bonnie Doon community to see if you'd consider supporting our school by donating an item to our silent auction?   Donations are never too big or small; we are grateful for all donations received!  Donor recognition will be given during the event and you will be listed in the program.  

Donations can be mailed or dropped off at the Rutherford School office, 8620 91 St by Monday, March 2.  Or for your convenience, a donation pick-up may be arranged by calling the school office at 780 466-2891 or emailing rutherfordschoolfundraising@gmail.com . 
 
Thank you in advance for your support of our elementary school.  We look forward to hearing from you soon.  
 
Kind Regards,
Rutherford School Parent Council

Bonnie Doon Community League has received the following letter from Central Baptist Church, providing information on the proposed Temporary Homeless Shelter planned for the Church's Gymnasium. Central Baptist Church is hosting an information night at the Church on February 12th at 7:00 PM. 
They say: "We hoping to have a large turn-out, as community feedback is very important to us and to the success of the Shelter Program.  Therefore, wondering if Bonnie Doon Community League could upload the information on your website and/or send the letter out to your distribution list. Thanking you in advance for your help and support."

Men: Is it time we got together for ourselves and to serve our community?

Bonnie Doon Community League is starting a "Men’s Shed". Beginning in March, 2020, we'll meet Saturday mornings in our rink shack. There are five men’s sheds in Edmonton, each with a different slant on what they do and how they work.  Generally though, all sheds build community among men and contribute to the wider neighbourhood.

Men’s sheds are for all men – the singles, family guys and those busy at work or busy at retirement.  Together, we’re here for each other and to help or serve where and when we can in our neighbourhood.

We hope you'll visit, to see how you might fit in and to find out what is possible when we get together!

Ladies & others: Is there a man in your life who might benefit from getting out & about and spending time with others? Maybe he needs a gentle nudge in our direction!

You're invited to join us at the annual Bonnie Doon Community League History Tea.  Bring family, friends, pictures, stories and meet your neighbours new and old.  If you have any questions about this social event, please contact Mark at social@bonniedoon.ca .   ​

This event will take place IF we are able to purchase the right to stream the event at our hall. Watch for updates.

We plan to display Super Bowl LIV on the big screen in Bonnie Doon Hall, Sunday, February 2.

Kickoff will be between 4:30 and 5:00.

There will be a cash bar. We will allow takeout food deliveries to the hall. And we have a kitchen you can use to heat or warm a dish you bring.
