Weyburn YF Club to receive Premier's Service Club award The first four recipients of the new Premier's Service Club Award were announced and represent volunteer community organizations from Weyburn, Balgonie, Kipling and Meadow Lake. "Saskatchewan is truly blessed to have such wonderful and dedicated local service clubs which help when people need it the most and make our communities better places," Premier Brad Wall said. "I look forward to seeing many more of these organizations recognized for their charitable work in the years to come." The award's inaugural recipients, who will be presented certificates signed by the Premier, are: • Young Fellows' Club of Weyburn. • Balgonie Elks No. 572; • Kipling and District Lions Club; • Meadow Lake Kinsmen and Kinettes The Young Fellows Club of Weyburn was established in 1922 with the goal of making its community a better place to live. Since then, the organization has invested more than $2 million into the community by donating to almost every major Weyburn project. Highlights of the Club's work include financial and volunteer support for the first outdoor pool in Saskatchewan in 1931; every local minor sports program; the health care system; fire department rescue vehicles; playground equipment; swimming lessons; an indoor pool; a second rink ice surface; and a splash park at the Don Mitchell Tot Lot. From its humble beginnings more than 90 years ago, the Club was founded with the following aims: to promote the spirit of fraternalism among its members; to develop its members for better citizenship; and to contribute in any way which it deemed advisable to public welfare. It should come as no surprise then, that the Club's motto is, "We serve." Launched in late 2013, this new award was created to recognize the dedicated service clubs and fraternal organizations that help improve Saskatchewan's quality of life by contributing to the province's communities. These groups are ineligible to receive group recognition under the other current provincial honours and awards programs.

Parading lights in downtown Weyburn ??? ??? ??? ????
Ironically enough, the 21st annual Parade of Lights saw 21 entries this season. The well-decorated floats lit up the streets of Weyburn on December 4. The Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the event, had a difficult time choosing a winner between all the entries. "We can't thank everyone enough for the effort that goes into this event. The businesses and organizations that make these floats do this all on their time, in the cold, out of pure community pride," said Weyburn Chamber Manager Rochelle Wendt. The parade saw the Prairie Sky Co-op float receive an
honourable mention for their "suite" ride for Santa. Swayze Concrete took home the honour of first place. The parade always finishes with the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce's float which reserves the only spot for Santa in the parade! "The Chamber always organizes the Parade of Lights on the first Thursday of December as our way of helping everyone kick off the holiday season," explained Wendt. "In addition, we want to express great thanks to everyone who came out to watch the parade. The weather always shows the heartiness and civic pride the people of Weyburn and area have."
