THE DELIA GAZETTE: Delia Senior Citizens’ President position left vacant after move
By Lonni Pedneault
First things first! Set your reminders to turn your clocks back 1 hour before you go to bed Saturday, November 4 and enjoy that extra hour of sleep!
We all would like to wish Barb Page a fond farewell as she puts Delia in her rearview mirror, and we wish her an abundance of health and happiness in Edmonton! Unfortunately, she leaves the Delia Senior Citizens’ President position vacant, too – any volunteers? Everyone is welcome to enjoy a cup of coffee and attend the monthly Senior Citizens’ meeting on November 9 at 10 a.m.
On November 2, the Library is hosting Author Robert Feagan at 1 p.m. as he shares his stories, and on November 4, there is a Raspberry Pi Workshop from 1–3 p.m. for students aged 12 & up, and they don’t mean ‘pie.’ Preregistration is required.

If you are a crafty-type person and would like to help decorate our Village for Christmas, Delia in Bloom is looking for homemade tire wreath donations that can withstand winter conditions. I am also looking for volunteers to help put up the Christmas decorations around the Village. Contact me for more information at alonni1199@gmail.com.
It’s unfortunate to see events planned only to be cancelled due to a lack of advanced ticket sales. Advanced sales are required to pay for entertainment, venue, refreshments, etc. The latest cancellations due to a lack of advance ticket sales are, sadly, the Halloween Dance and the New Year’s Eve party. If there is something specific that you think will excite the community, please email me your suggestions, and I will pass them along.

Public Skating every Friday from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. and every Sunday from 2 – 4 p.m. at the Delia Arena and concession is open. Get active, get fed or both!
