It's hard to believe it is already September.
However, those cool nights, coloured leaves and Canada geese are confirmation prove fall is on its way to the Cariboo.
I don't know about you, but I still have quite a few of those summertime projects that haven't been checked off my to-do list, so we had better get going before we see the white stuff falling from the sky.
School is in
Students are back in school this week, parents are breathing a sigh of relief, and everyone is getting back in the groove for another year of education.
Check this column for regular updates and photographs from Horse Lake Elementary School, as I often attend events to see what the children are up to.
Association news
The community association is gearing up for its annual general meeting, which will be held in early fall, date to be confirmed soon.
If you are interested in getting involved either on the board or as a member, come out and support your community. Things can't happen without people to lend a helping hand.
The next community association general meeting will be at the hall Sept. 11, starting at 7 p.m.
There will soon be a new and improved sound system in the community hall and they are also working on improving the acoustics. Volleyball and Tai Chi activities are continuing, as are the Other Unusual Talents gals who have a lot of fun getting together on the first and third Tuesday mornings.
If you would like to know about any of these activities, contact the writer for more information.
