BORDEN — A Thanksgiving service along with celebration of the eucharist was held at St. John’s Anglican Church Oct. 8 and the church, outside steps and lower hall were beautifully decorated by Brenda Tumbach. Oct. 15, Celtic Country will be supplying gospel music and everyone is welcome at 10:30 a.m. with lunch to follow. Brenda and Ron also went all out in decorating their yard for Thanksgiving.

The Little Sprouts Early Education Centre is in operation and will be holding a grand opening on Sunday, Oct. 22 from 1 to 3 p.m. The Borden Lions and Anglican Church have both been invited to attend as they have supported the centre.

Fall is the time for fall suppers and some that are coming up are Speers United Church Wednesday, Oct. 18 in the Recreation Centre from 5 to 7 p.m., Maymont’s roast beef supper Saturday, Oct. 21 in the school gym, doors open at 5:30 p.m. and Langham Oct. 22 from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Langham Community Centre hosted by many organizations in the town.

The Borden Farmers’ Market held their last sale for the summer Oct. 7 and there was free food for the many that attended in appreciation of their support all summer. Winning the last 50/50 draw was L. Olinyk. Mark your calendar for Saturday, Nov. 25 when the market holds its Christmas sale in the Borden Community Centre from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. More than 30 tables have been booked.

The Borden Lion’s Chase the Ace raffle is still on with a new deck of cards until February 2024 and the winner of the weekly draw on Oct. 5 was Ross McBain of Borden. The Borden Lions will be hosting a Remembrance Day service Nov. 11 in the Community Centre at 10:30 a.m. and lunch will be served following the service. The club decided not to hold a fall supper this year as there were not enough workers, but hopefully, another organization at Borden will offer to do one this fall.
