Bonnie Doon Community League is slated for a casino on Sunday and Monday, March 2 & 3, 2014. This event is our largest single funding source and could bring in up to $70,000 to support community league programs. But we need approximately 40 volunteers to run the casino. Please consider helping out.
Working a casino is fun and easy. The money raised goes to programs such as youth soccer, our ice rink, Green Shack and hall improvements. You are provided with a free meal and you have a chance to socialize with your Bonnie Doon neighbors. You can choose the shift that suits you best and you can choose the job that is the most fun for you. The venue will be Casino Edmonton, 7055 Argyll Road. You can sign up for the casino online now at http://volunteersignup.org/M949A For details on how easy it is to help, please contact our Fundraising Chair, Stephanie. We have had a number of requests for a babysitting course in Bonnie Doon. We asked St. John Ambulance about offering a babysitting course for Bonnie Doon youth and they said yes! We are looking at setting up St. John Ambulance's one-day babysitting course this winter. Date and cost have not been determined. The league would subsidize the cost of the course for BDCL members.
The course, What Every Babysitter Should Know, includes chapters with information on Becoming a babysitter, Caring for kids, Kids and food, Getting along with kids, Keeping kids safe, Handling emergencies and First Aid. The course handbook also includes the Babysitter’s Checklist. If your son or daughter is interested in taking What Every Babysitter Should Know, please contact Margaret, . Do you love to skate? Well, you're in luck. Tucked in beside Bonnie Doon Hall is Bonnie Doon Rink. We are hoping the rink will be ready to welcome skaters by December 1.
Dallas Fullam has volunteered to manage rink operations for the coming winter. A big thank you to Dallas and her crew. Our rink has had really good ice the past two winters and we are looking to more great ice for 2013/14. We'll again offer a Learn to Skate program for youngsters, details to follow. There may be snow on the ground, but it will be soccer season before we know it.
