Women’s Club meets next Thursday
Mackie shares that the Bedias Women’s Club will hold its first meeting in more than a year, next Thursday, May 27, at 2 p.m. at the Bedias Civic Center. All Bedias area women are invited and encouraged to attend. We are hopeful that most folks will have had the vaccine that want to take it and that we will be able to fellowship and celebrate again for our regular meetings.
We plan to have a speaker on plants, and we hope to receive some tips about reviving our plants that were so devastated during the Bedias Blizzard! We invite all the women of our community to join us!
The Bedias Civic Association will have a fundraiser to help pay for the building’s new AC unit on Saturday, June 5. The civic club is also planning on having a July Fourth fireworks event and hopefully by August we can look forward to our monthly potluck gatherings again.
Bedias area organizations are slowly coming back to life, please keep an eye out for announcements on the Bedias Civic Center bulletin board and also the bulletin board at the Bedias post office.
