The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a $1,050 grant to the Camrose Neighbor Aid Center for the Camrose Food Bank.

This grant is from income earned by the Andreassen Family Fund, a Donor Advised Endowment Fund type, which allows donors to make annual granting recommendations to the Foundation.

“Our work would not be possible without the generosity and trust of our donors,” commented Camrose Neighbor Aid Center program director Jo-Anne Tweed. “We are reminded daily that men, women and children are struggling to access enough food and are grateful to those who give to our work.”

The Camrose Food Bank working under the umbrella of Neighbor Aid provides assistance for food security to residents in Camrose and Camrose County.

“Neighbor Aid thanks all our donors for giving from your hearts to ensure our most vulnerable populations have their needs met.”

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations 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 $8,216,000 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.

Five-bedroom home

By Lori Larsen

This well-maintained five-bedroom home, located in a quiet cul de sac, is ready for you and your family to move right in and enjoy the convenience of its great location. Schools, parks and recreational facilities within close proximity make this the perfect place to settle your family.

A colourful front door is a welcoming touch as you enter the home.

Hardwood floors extend through the living room into the dining area adjacent to the kitchen. A large window in the living room lets in tons of natural sunlight.

The kitchen features refaced cabinets and a convenient serve-through to the dining room so the host can always be part of the conversation.

Three good-sized bedrooms and a four-piece main bathroom on the main level make it easy to keep young children close, while two more bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom on the lower level would be perfect for older children.

Enjoy family movie night or some fun games in the large family room on the lower level, or let the older children have a space of their own, where they can hang out with their friends.

The backyard offers plenty of room for the children to burn off energy while parents sit and relax on the stone patio.

You will absolutely love the 24’ x 24’ garage with back alley access for keeping your vehicles warm and clear in the winter.

Vinyl windows, new shingles and a new furnace are great assets, and at this price, you can easily make a few updates of your own.

Black Friday Special – Stay at home and save 100%! Why don’t grocer y stores par ticipate in Black Friday ? I don’t need 20 percent o a at screen T V. Give me half price laundr y detergent and a car ton of eggs for $1 and you better believe I’ll be waiting outside at 3:00 a.m.! For those of you who are Christmas shopping for me: Size 5 Days in Mexico Size 2 Weeks in Hawaii Christmas is so much harder when you get older. It’s like, “What do you want this year ?” I don’t know, maybe a sense of purpose, nancial securit y, more sleep, a bottle of wine and maybe some new bras. I hit a turkey and it ew over my car and landed on the car behind me. It was a policeman and he pulled me over and gave me a ticket for ipping him the bird. My sister said there’s no way I could build a car out of spaghetti. You should’ve seen her face when I drove pasta. I wanted to lose 10 pounds this year. Only 13 to go. I accidentally combined “All good” and “No worries,” and said “All worries.” It’s the most honest thing I’ ve said all year. Adulting means growing hair in places you are not supposed to, and losing hair in places you don’t want to. What do I want for Christmas? Hmmm, lately I’ve been really into groceries and gas. Utilities are cool, too. Stu like that . When I was little, I don’t know what I thought being a grown up would be like, but I had no idea there would be so much co ee and swearing. Don’t use a big word when a singularly loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporar y necessit y. Don’t you hate it when you star t your car in the morning and the music is blasting. It’s like, “Whoooaa there big fella, I’m not the same person I was last night!” At my age, the only pole dancing I do is holding on to the safet y bar in the bathtub. I accidentally drank holy water with my laxative. I’m about to star t a religious movement . The only sound in the world louder than a Dad Sneeze is the sound of Mom gasping for no reason while he drives. In a packed elevator, ever yone is silent . My stomach: “I will now demonstrate the mating call of a whale.” I nally did it! I bought a new pair of shoes with memor y foam insoles. No more forgetting why I walked into the kitchen. Me: Our kids are nally at an age when we can sleep in on weekends. Youth Spor ts: Let me stop you right there.

Ever yone was seated around the table as the food was being ser ved. When little Johnny received his plate, he star ted eating straight away.

“Johnny, wait until we’ve said our prayer,” his mother reminded him.

“I don’t have to,” the little boy replied.

“Of course you do,” his mother insisted. “We say a prayer before eating at our house.”

“That’s at our house,” Johnny explained, “But this is Grandma’s house and she knows how to cook .”
