The Emo spray park committee would like to remind everyone that the Cloverleaf cash register receipt program will be in effect until the end of May.
The children are doing a wonderful job of collecting receipts, and the totals for each school will be calculated at the end of the month.
Cloverleaf generously has volunteered to donate 3.5 percent of the total receipts received by May 31 so keep them coming!
In related news, the spray park committee also would like to announce it still is accepting memorial bricks. If you have received a form from the committee and would like to purchase a brick, drop off your completed form with a cheque at the municipal office.
Those living outside of Emo, who wish to purchase a brick, can do so by visiting the Emo municipal office during regular business hours.
