We have a very committed team of staff members who facilitate all Palliative care and Grief support training of volunteers, plan and secure vital fundraising efforts, manage and operate our Thrift Store, and administer all operations that make up our successful team. Our Thrift Store in the heart of Maple Ridge boasts an enthusiastic team of Volunteers who help us run the store daily. We are also fortunate to have an active volunteer Board of Directors. Our palliative support services are not just centered at the McKenney Creek Hospice Residence; we also provide visitation support in hospital or at home, vigil support, caregiver support, relaxation programs, and a lending library of helpful resources. We are privileged to have a dedicated pool of trained Volunteers who help us deliver our palliative support, and bereavement programs. We provide training to volunteers who, in turn, provide compassionate, emotional care and support to individuals living with a terminal illness, or to their families, friends and carers. The Volunteers also provide support to the patient’s family and friends at the time of death and through the journey of grief. The Ridge Meadows Hospice Society provides bereavement support for individuals coping with the death of loved ones from unexpected tragic accidents. Bereavement support is available to Children and Adults in groups or one-to-one, as well as through a bereavement walking group. All of our services are offered free of charge, but as a registered charity, we rely heavily on funding and donations from our supporters. We are also supported though fundraising events hosted by the society.

Meet

the Ridge Meadows Minor Baseball Association

Revival on the Ridge – building baseball one smile at a time! Spring and Summer Baseball is a time honored tradition within the communities of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. For over 59 years, the Ridge Meadows Minor Baseball Association has provided both community and competitive baseball programs, with a storied history of producing champion teams and Major League baseball players, such as Larry Walker Jr. 2014 marks the 60th year of the association’s existence and with

the energy and passion of the association’s board, this will be another exciting season. Over the past few years, baseball throughout the Lower Mainland, including Ridge Meadows, has seen its numbers reduced. Many other community sporting options are offered, competing for mindshare. However with new leadership and a renewed focus on reviving “Baseball on the Ridge”, the sport is once again growing in Ridge Meadows.

“Our board is dedicated, our volunteers are passionate, and our brand and message is resonating within the community”, says new President Cornelius Temple. “We’ve taken feedback from our membership associations, as well as feedback from our parents, players and others, and have worked very hard to develop a plan to meet the needs of families and players.” The current RMMBA Executive knows that parents want consistently delivered, quality programs. With a volunteer base that changes every year, it can be a tall order to provide consistency. “I asked our core baseball team, led by Greg Bodnarchuk and Pete Davey, to take on the challenge of developing the right level of programming and program delivery our members are asking for and expect. They have taken this challenge full on, putting in tremendous time and effort with results that I can only describe as outstanding”, said the new President. From mid-January to mid-March, the association offers indoor development sessions for U7 and higher players. “The Barns”, as they

are called, has been a year-over-year success. The Super-7 development camps, targeted towards Mosquito players, is a great ice breaker. This program is hosted by many alumni of Ridge Meadows who are currently playing in the LMBA. Great to see these young men give back to their community. Along with regular season games, the association offers “Friday Night Lights”, which is a weekly session for coaches and players to come learn while playing the game they love in a non-competitive and engaging environment. Our strategy for 2014 is engagement. The association is participating in various community events and partnering with local schools to increase awareness and interest in baseball. We’re also committed to

developing strong relationships with organizations like KidSport, to ensure all kids who want to play, can play. Last but not least, we’re keeping FUNdamentals as a key theme in everything we do. “Kids simply want to be outside playing a game they love and having a tremendous amount of fun doing it. Sounds like baseball to me”, said Cornelius.

If you want to see great baseball, you don’t have to go any further than your local Ridge Meadows baseball park WR À QG LW

Helpful Drycleaning advice fromDrycleaners: Brenda at West R idge How to Preserve and Store Your Wedding Gown... It’s important you get the wedding dress to the drycleaner as soon as possible after your special day. Alert the drycleaner to any stains - a drop of bubbly, a smudge of lipstick from that ďŹ rst kiss - as well as to any loose stitching. Also, point out any ornaments that were glued on, rather than sewn on (these pieces are prone to fall off during the cleaning process). Knowing about all of these in advance will ensure the drycleaner can give your dress the best possible care.

Have more

questions?

Once it’s cleaned, ask to have your dress wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and packed in a special acid-free box, which is best for long-term storage. Leaving items in the plastic drycleaning bags are never a good choice for long-term storage of any garment. The plastic bags contain chemicals that over time break down and can stain or scent your garment. Even if you don’t detect an odor or stain, the chemicals can still seep into the material. When you next take it to be drycleaned, the chemicals for cleaning will combine with the plastic’s chemicals, and can ruin the clothing. Alternatively, you can also hang the dress by the bodice. Onto the inside waist area, simply sew in straps that are a bit shorter than the bodice, then place it on a padded hanger and wrap it in a clean white cotton sheet.

Feel free to stop in and ask Brenda. With over 30 years of drycleaning and pressing experience she’s your fabric and drycleaning expert.

More than just learning how to stand at attention, our Cadets are learning leadership skills and there is a strong sense of being a part of something bigger than oneself. Squadron 583 is celebrating its 60th year and Diamond Jubilee at their year-end Annual Ceremonial Review (ACR) on Saturday May 24th, 2014 at Pitt Meadows Airport. As this year is special for our Squadron we are looking to make contact with alumni Cadets. If you were ever a member of the 583 Air Cadets, we would love to hear from you and would like to invite you to the event.

The Cadets are also raising money for the North Fraser Airshow, a free community event occurring at Pitt Meadows Airport this July 20th, 2014! We appreciate your support and welcome you to attend. We meet on Thursday evenings from 6:15pm to 9:15pm in Maple Ridge. Registration is open in September for youth ages 12 to 18. CONTACT INFO P: 604.463.9388 E: 583ssc@gmail.com W: www.583aircadets.ca
