CITY NEWS: Thank you to all those involved in fixing the Ridgeway water tower after it was discovered that there was a hole in the tank! After several days of low water pressure, the tank was fixed, though at this time we are still under a boil order. Thank you to city clerk Brooklyn for keeping us updated through the week as things progressed. It was definitely a baptism by fire for our new mayor, Todd Jennings and our new city workers!
Are you ready for some more Bingo? After taking a break for April, Bingo will return to the Ridgeway Community Room at 6:30 pm on Monday, May 4. There are always three winners per game and lots of prizes for all ages. Free-will donations are accepted for snacks and prizes and donations of snacks are deeply appreciated. Fun for the whole family! The event is sponsored by the Ridgeway Community Betterment Association.
If you love to scrapbook, RCBA would appreciate your help! The RCBA Scrapbookers have been taking a break for the past few months, but will meet again this Saturday, May 2 from 10 am to noon at Paula’s Sewing Corner at 408 Main Street. They have been working on a scrapbook of RCBA events and projects which is displayed at events that RCBA sponsors. If you would like to join the group, we would love to have you!
