The Pioneer Lodge is hosting a Spring Market event at 1000 Albert St, Moose Jaw on May 4th. Twenty vendors have already signed up to share their wares with the residents and public. The event will take place indoors, so rain or shine, come down and spend your day there. The market will be open from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
All monies being raised will be going to the recreation department to cover the cost of the senior’s outings, entertainment and so much more. The Recreation Department plays such an enormous role in the health and welfare of seniors. The benefits of social, physical, spiritual and mental interaction adds to the daily growth and happiness of the seniors. At times however, there are costs involved and the Recreation Department paves the way to finding innovative ways to cover these extra costs by holding social functions.
“We were looking for different ways of fundraising,” said Emma Watson, Activities Director.
The Spring Market is bringing together twenty local artists/marketeers to showcase their creative and inspiring works. There will also be a Penny Parade, as well as five baskets comprised of donations from the vendors to be drawn. Tickets for the baskets draw will be $5.00 each.
A beautiful garden stone has been graciously donated to the Pioneer Lodge to be raffled off at the event, too. Draw for this particular item will be at 4 pm with details available at the market.
For all those who may be interested in supporting this fundraiser, if you have any new spring/summer items that you may wish to donate to the fundraiser, please contact the Recreation Department at 306-691-2271.
If you feel a little hungry, Taco-in-a-Bag with a soda will be available for $7.00 so bring your appetite and support the Pioneer Lodge. The benefits of purchasing a lunch goes far beyond temporary self-satisfaction but adds to the happiness and well-being of the residents. So, feed yourself and feed a fancy. It could be movie night, cards or a day trip out that your taco-in-a-bag will support in the days and months to come.
On May 4th, plan on attending the market to show your support for the amazing work the Pioneer Lodge Recreation Department facilitates in making the senior residence a happy place. For more information please call the Recreation Department at the Pioneer Lodge at 306-691-2271.
