Sadie Grimm Picnic Shelter Update
Caroline Peters gave an update at the July meeting. They are just over half way to meeting their $45,000 fundraising amount for the shelter, and plan to pour the base for it this fall if possible. The goal is to have the shelter completed in time for Manitoba’s 150th anniversary in June 2020.
The newest fundraising initiative is for sidewalk bricks that will be in and around the structure. Bricks are $200 each and can contain up to 3 lines of 15 characters each (2 lines are recommended). An easy way for you to immortalize yourself or a loved one. Will post a link to the form when it’s available.

Rob B. set out on a solo tour and camping trip in southern Manitoba, he shared some pictures of the adventure.
July 12, 1949 ~ July 19, 2019 Dianne Best passed away peacefully to the sound of music on Friday, July 19, 2019 at the age of 70, at Ste. Anne Hospital, Manitoba. Dianne will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Dianne was a unique and special woman that lived life to the fullest; who wanted to experience it all. The family would like to thank the staff at Ste. Anne Hospital for the care and compassion they gave to Dianne. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, July 26 at 1:00 p.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Ave. E., Beausejour, MB. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dianne’s memory to Guardians of the Children Canada, 917 Calrossie Blvd, Winnipeg, MB R3T 0W9.
Update – About fifteen AMCM members attended Diane’s funeral. Her best friend Arlene told numerous stories that gave us an insight into her, she was truly an amazing person. Did you know she had her pilots license and restored a crashed plane, and that she placed in a figure skating competition when she was 50. She will be missed.
