It was a natural reaction. I saw a pretty, shining, stone and I picked it up and tucked it in my pocket. Its yellow gleam caught my eye and triggered a multitude of memories. •Reading the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Laura, as a young girl is intrigued by pretty pebbles that she finds on the shore of Lake Pepin. She pockets so many that the pocket of her red calico dress tears off. Fortunately, ma is able to mend the dress. I loved that image. The pretty pebbles and the competent mother.

Neepawa Theatre Centre Board
Since 1988, the Roxy Theatre in Neepawa has been community owned and volunteer run. Each year, community members log over 1,500 hours taking tickets, working the concession and cleaning up after the show. This work allows the theatre to keep prices low and meet their mandate of providing inexpensive entertainment for the whole family. Volunteers represent a cross-section of the community and without their donation of time, the theatre would cease to operate.
