Library Open House - 2008

On Tuesday, April 15th, our Carrington City Library celebrated National Library Week. It was a cozy, inviting scene, with comfy chairs, yummy treats and pleasant hostesses. Lenore Franchuk, our City Librarian, welcomed everyone as Donna Dunn and Illa Zink, two of our Library Board members, chatted with visitors.

Donna Dunn, a library board member, sits in a cozy corner of the library as she greets visitors.

As visitors looked at the antique radio collection, and browsed through the books that were for sale, Mrs. Franchuk explained that their online library service connects Carrington to a seemingly unlimited source of books and reference materials. For people who love books and hands-on reading and research, the Carrington City Library is definitely the place to be!

Illa Zink helps serve visitors while community members chat and look at books.

The Carrington Health Center Ladies Auxiliary Put Together a Great

Taco-in-a-Bag Luncheon!

On Thursday, April 17th, 2008, the CHC volunteers were cheerful, organized and helpful as they served their customers... and the food was YUMMY!

Friends visited and enjoyed a meal together at the Holy Family Villa. Families brought their children for lunch. Take-out meals were constantly streaming out the door. It was a great success! The Ladies Auxiliary would like to thank everyone for supporting their Relay for Life efforts.

We hope you didn't miss the Taco-In-A-Bag event sponsored by the Carrington Health Center Auxiliary! The taco salads were great, and the home-made dessert bars were absolutely scrumptious! As you can see from the pictures below, there were lots of happy faces and satisfied customers. The Auxiliary ladies need to be commended for putting together another successful event and for donating their time and efforts for such a good cause... contributing to the hospital and the Family Villa.

Holiday Hospitality at

the Federated Church - 2008

We hope you didn't miss the Federated Church's Holiday Fair Luncheon for the community. There were pleasant, cheerful greetings from ladies throughout the room. The service was superb, and the food was perfect for a cold day in Carrington - hot soup, a sandwich, and delicious home-made pie. From the crowds coming and going throughout the luncheon, it looks like the event was a great success! Thank you, members of the church, for a lovely lunch!
