The Hairsine Executive have been very busy. They are working on different projects to make sure the community hall and activities are there for everyone.
The hall is having work done to the furnace vents, thermostats, and fire alarm system. The contract to do lawn maintenance has been approved. The leveling of the ground and contracts for the rinks is still being investigated. The riding lawnmower is going to be inspected to see what the community should do with it. The Soccer & Ball Directors are busy putting teams together. The babysitting course was a success.

Last AGM On April 4, 2012 the Hairsine Community held a successful Annual General Meeting. The Financial reports were past, and all the positions on the board were filled. Two of which were filled by persons holding other positions. Therefore, if anyone wants to join the board, room can be made available for them. It was agreed that a By-law committee will be formed to view and propose changes to our 32 year old outdated by-laws. The board will be looking for volunteers to be on this committee at the next meeting, May 2nd at 7pm, at the community hall. No By-laws were changed at this AGM. The board wants to thank everyone that attended, and extend a welcome to all members to attend any and all meetings. Also, a very big welcome to all new Executive members, thank you!

Does your child need a teeth cleaning? NAIT is looking for 500 dental patients between the ages of 4 and 21 for May and June.
Their Dental Assisting program is offering teeth cleaning and fluoride treatment for $10. This helps the students get much needed hands on experience, and our community get super affordable dental care. Additionally, kids will learn how to brush and floss properly, and what foods are good and bad for their teeth.
NAIT has a sparkly new clinic too. New chairs, cabinetry and equipment. Their old equipment was shipped and donated to help train dental professionals in Rwanda. Yet another way NAIT is helping a community. This makes us smile.
Teeth cleaning appointments can be made by calling 780.471.8827.
