The auxiliary would also like everyone to mark their calendars to save the dates of June 14 and June 15 to attend their Friends and Family Garden Tour. I will have more details in the coming months.

The Welcome Beach Community Association has set some more dates for pickleball at the Halfmoon Bay Elementary School gym.

You can try out this unique sport usually every Monday at 7 p.m. on April 14 and 28th. There is also a session on Wednesday, April 28th. May sessions include the 7th, 12th, 21st and 26th.

Both players and spectators are invited and all skill levels are welcome. Dress appropriately. All equipment is provided. Drop in charge is $3 or $20 for eight nights. This is a wonderful way to get in some exercise and chase away the winter cobwebs.

Welcome Wagon will take community information and free gifts to all newcomers to the Sunshine Coast. Welcome Wagon also delivers free information and gifts from local businesses to families with new babies.Please contact Welcome Wagon at welcome2sunshinecoast@gmail.com or call Rita at 604-885-3601 or Judith at 604-886-9896 to request your visit.

The annual Easter egg hunt is set for Sunday, April 20 at 2 p.m. at Connor Park. Halfmoon Bay Elementary School, who is helping to organize the event, welcomes families with children up to Grade 7.
