Longview Link by Chey Nickerson

(Page 5)

A welcome break from the cold has arrived making the winter a week or so shorter and giving us back our blue sky! It's amazing how just being able to get outside and get fresh air changes the outlook we have isn't it?
With the cold snap that arrived, getting all the Christmas decorations down and stored has been delayed a bit, but soon things will be done and Longview's streets will a little less colourful until next year! Great job with the lights, they are beautiful and certainly put smiles on lots of faces. I have even had calls at the Village office to say how nice things looked this Christmas season, which is always nice.
The Youth Group is hosting a “Grand Prix Pine Box Race” at the Fire Hall on February 5th from 9:30 to 12. For more information on this event call 403-558-2243. Should be lots of fun to watch even if you aren't competing yourself! On February 19th the Youth Group is also sponsoring a Youth and Family ski trip. For anyone interested in taking part, please contact 403-558-0002 before February 5th.
The Longview Library has been hosting many information sessions with our residents in mind.  Keep checking the boards at the bottom of the stairs to see what's happening in the library as updates are posted and sign- up sheets are available there.
For residents of Longview, please keep in mind that many of the boards and committees will need new members in the very near future. Many of the people who donated their time and ideas have been on the boards for a few years and it's time for new members to step up, bringing with them, new outlooks. Once again, watch the boards at the bottom of the stairs at the Village Office or contact the office for more information.
V O L U N T E E R S, the backbone of our communities!
Make it a great day!
