Are you an "alumni" of Heritage?

Culturally, the Heritage Community, formerly Core, which is bound by Broad Street, College Avenue, Winnipeg Street, the CPR Mainline, and includes the area known as the "Arcola Triangle"-- Winnipeg Street, Arcola Avenue to Victoria Avenue, contributes significantly to Regina's heritage. It is after all one of the city's oldest communities.

The Heritage Community Association, is looking to celebrate the community's pride in its past and encourage positive recognition of its future potential by archiving the history of those who lived here or were part of the prominent business community. If you or your family members are an "alumni" of Heritage, we want to hear from you! For further information or to share your stories, please contact Lori at 791-6533, extension 227 or by email @ heritage.lori@gmail.com.

Celebrate New Year's Eve with us!

However, there will not be a party. Funds that would have gone to party horns, confetti, a champagne banquet and a band will instead be used to make new beginnings for the children in Heritage. So, please don't buy a new outfit, or hire a babysitter. Stay at home and feel wonderful about the new year by making a donation to the "It's time to play!" project of the Heritage Community Association.
For more information, please visit the project link prominentlydisplayed at the top of our home page. All donations will be issued a tax deductible receipt. To make it easier, simply click on the "donate now" button also located on our home page.

Thanks!

Happy New Year and here's to our new beginnings...

Ramblings from Heritage...

Sundry items that come to mind--

-This weekend is the annual Food Bank drive. I'll be at the Southland Mall Safeway tonight selling hampers to help "stuff the bus." Come on by!

-Don't forget to support the annual campaign of the United Way of Regina. Many workplaces have events going on now to raise funds; please give generously. Your support helps the Heritage Community!

-And on to something completely different, because it is the "haunting time of year":

Witch's Brew Pasta Salad:

3 types of pasta noodles
black olives
cherry tomatoes
diced green and yellow peppers
broccoli florets
sliced carrots
sliced zucchini
chunks of pepperoni
crumbled feta cheese
raisins and pistachios (to your taste)

Combine pasta with all other ingredients, add dressing and then chill.
