Ritchie School still stands at 9735 75 Ave., but not for long. Stantec, which is building the replacement school next door, invites you to a farewell BBQ June 22, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bring any photos or Ritchie School and memorabilia you would like to showcase. You’ll also be able to request materials like bricks be set aside for you when the time comes to bring the venerable structures down.
League members are Tool Library members too
Borrowing privileges are free with your Ritchie Community League membership
Ritchie Community League members are now members of the Edmonton Tool Library and can borrow from among its 1,150 items FREE. At its June 6 meeting, the league joined 42 others in sponsoring the Library, which is housed at the Bellevue Community Hall (7308 112 Ave.). It’s open twice a week for pick ups and drop offs, but its collection is searchable online, anytime.

Breaking down Ritchie’s finances
Some years, casino funds keep Ritchie in the black, while occasionally regular revenue can cover league costs. A look at the past fiscal year, April 2018 - March 2019 paints the picture. Keep in mind, this analysis was prepared using unaudited figures. For the official reckoning, come to the Annual General Meeting, May 23 at 7 p.m.
Spring soccer is coming
Online registration for outdoor soccer is underway. Follow up with a visit to Ritchie Hall Feb. 16 2:30 - 6 p.m. to finalize the paperwork.
