Register and pay by April 3: via e-transfer to interlakescommunity@outlook.com, or cash at the hall.

Mountain Spruce Community Centre (MSCC)
For the second time this year, MSCC has been hit by recycling thieves. The first was at New Year’s and now again, overnight March 9/10. This time, they also burned pallets and left a huge mess for the society to clean up.
March’s Full Moon Walk was enjoyed by all, including a family from Alberta. MSCC thanks the many volunteers whose hard work prepared the trails for the 51 attendees, who came from all over.
Some of them became members, and many graciously donated to MSCC. Cindy Faulkner dropped by to leave several of her stunning peace bells in the park, and one as a prize, which was won by Greg Rector. Wendy Utrich won the Snowshoe Gnome made by the 108’s Cathy Steigleder of Gnomemad.
An Easter Basket Centrepiece Workshop with Lake Thyme Floral, is scheduled for 6 p.m., April 5. The fee is $40, payable in advance by e-transfer to mtnspruce@gmail.com, or call Shannon at 604-617-7863 to arrange to pay cash. Space is limited; RSVP.
Deka Lake & District Ratepayers’ Association notes that Ken Swaffield has kindly built a shelf over the Beazley mailboxes.
The 100 Mile Free Press has offered to leave older Cariboo Connectors for residents looking for extra papers as fire starters instead of taking the current week’s Cariboo Connector from the box. Please only take what you need.
