Stephen Kambeitz, Foundation secretary, presents the grants to Jessica Hutton, executive director of The Open Door. Submitted

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded grants totalling $10,410 to the Camrose Open Door Association from its COVID-19 Response Fund.

The COVID-19 Response Fund was created in 2019 with $100,000 in discretionary income from existing Battle River Community Foundation endowment funds, direct donations from Foundation supporters and a matching grant for part of the Fund from the Province of Alberta. The COVID-19 Response Fund has now been fully spent on projects that enabled charitable organizations throughout the Battle River region cope with unforeseen expenses that arose because of the pandemic. The Camrose Open Door Association used these grants to cover increased costs for staffing social media contact and responses to clients, for expanding virtual communication and for the costs of transporting clients to appointments because of reduced local transportation options. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations such as this in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $7,550,000 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Well cared for bungalow

Matthew Mayer

By Lori Larsen

First-time buyers will love this charming bungalow located within walking distance to a school, parks and playgrounds.

The minute you step inside, you will notice how well this home has been maintained. The living room features a bayed window area that not only floods the room with light, but is the perfect setup for a cozy sitting area while looking outside.

Follow the newer wood laminate flooring into the dining area and wide open adjacent kitchen. Plenty of cabinets makes for great storage and light coloured counter tops and backsplash keep the kitchen bright and airy.

The large master suite has a convenient two-piece en suite to make getting ready in the morning easy. Two more bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom means a space for everyone.

Downstairs you will find even more room to have the family get together in the partially finished basement. The oversized family room can house a theatre system or pool table, or can be divided to allow for another bedroom or hobby room.

There is tons of storage room for seasonal items or you could consider a workshop or workout room, whatever suits your own needs.

There is plenty of room for children to enjoy the outdoors in the safety of the completely fenced yard, and a private patio area means parents can barbecue while watching the children play.

A 26’ x 24’ detached heated double garage has extra high ceilings, in-floor heating and 200 rough-in, a desirable asset in the up and coming winter months and a perfect place to work on vehicles. Home ownership is made easy with this ready-to-move-in home located at 179 Mount Pleasant Drive, priced budget friendly at $298,000. For a personal viewing, contact Matthew Mayer at:

CHRISTMAS EDITION

If anyone is Christmas shopping for me, I wear a size seven-day Caribbean cruise. Sure, you can get your wife jewellery or an expensive purse or perfume for Christmas, but she will never forget the Christmas when you got her a mop. Never. Gonna go lay under the Christmas tree to remind my family that I’m a gift. Every time someone in my house leaves an empty box in the freezer or pantry, I’m wrapping it up in Christmas paper and putting it under the tree with their name on it. My kids say they want a cat for Christmas. Normally, I do a turkey, but hey, if it will make them happy… Marriage Tip: If you need a new can opener, just get a new can opener. Don’t give one to your wife for Christmas. My wife came home from the grocery store complaining about the cashier being a royal pain. I asked her if she had used the self checkout. And that is how the fi ght started. For anybody else who’s getting coal for Christmas, maybe we can link up and get the grill going or something. Two Tips for Christmas: 1. Forget the past. You can’t change it. 2. Forget the present. I’m not getting you one. Just checked my bank account balance and it looks like everyone will be getting text messages for Christmas. Have you ever had someone give you a lottery ticket for your Christmas gift? I don’t understand that. “Here’s a one in a million chance that I got you a gift.” It’s hard to buy your husband something for Christmas when he got everything when he married you. Christmas time is great because you can shout, “DON’T COME IN HERE!” and people think you’re wrapping presents, when in reality you just want to drink your wine in peace and not share your chocolates with anyone! Christmas is so much harder as you get older. It’s like, “What do you want for Christmas this year?” I don’t know, maybe a sense of purpose, fi nancial security, more sleep, a bottle of wine and maybe some new bras. My favourite part of Christmas shopping is where I get sidetracked and accidentally buy things for myself. I met some chess enthusiasts in the Norsemen Inn lobby recently. They just kept bragging about how good they are at the game. There’s nothing worse than chess nuts boasting in an open foyer. Home security reminder: A lot of people will be going away for Christmas which makes their homes an easy target for burglars. For security reasons, I strongly recommend leaving one of your children behind to construct a series of elaborate booby traps to defend your property. Only six people are allowed to gather at Christmas, but 30 for a funeral. I will be holding a funeral for my pet turkey that sadly passed away on December 25.

A couple were in a busy shopping mall just before Christmas. The wife suddenly noticed that her husband had gone missing and, as they had a lot to do, she called him on his cell phone. The wife said, “Where are you? You know we have a long list of presents to buy!” He said, “Do you remember the jewellery store we went into about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time, and I said that one day I would get it for you?” Tears started to fl ow down her face and she got all choked up. “Yes, I do remember that shop!” she excitedly replied. “Well, I am in the golf store next door to that.”
