CENTENARIAN

ELIZABETH HEIDT was one of the first volunteers for the Seniors University Group of the University of Regina, and continues to be a vital force in what is now the Lifelong Learning Centre. She has served on her condo board, was active in the Canadian Federation of University Women of Regina, is a long-standing member of the Canadian Club, and supports many charities. At age 100, she is a testament to the value of continued learning, and of serving others. Her positive, helpful attitude and dedication to serving her community are exemplary.

DOROTHEA (DOT) LANGSTON has spent her one hundred years volunteering in a wide range of activities, through her church, the Callie Curling Club, the Craig Golf Club, and canvassing for the Heart & Stroke and Kidney Foundations to name just a few. She has served as the United Church Women secretary at her church for decades. She still does whatever she can, including knitting mittens for the church’s Mitten Tree at Christmas. People who have worked alongside her in these volunteer efforts count it a privilege to have done so.

VICTORIA (BABE) MCCULLUM, at 93, is an inspiration to her community with her continuing participation and volunteer activities. Since moving to Denare Beach in 1979, she has volunteered for almost every event every year, including the Winter Festival, Canada Day celebrations, spring community clean-up, Fall Supper, serving on the funeral committee, quilting – the list goes on. She continues to volunteer with the New Horizons Club. Her example of leadership, community spirit, and cheerful participation are much-admired in her community.

HENRIETTA SCHOLZ has served her church in many capacities. She has also been involved in her community, leading 4-H, serving on the Figure Skating committee, serving on the Legion Auxiliary, on the Home Care Board, and in other ways, helping to make her community better and stronger. For over 25 years, she has made quilts to send overseas – with an average of seventy quilts per year. She says “I do it because I want to give those women, kids, hospitals and orphanages a bit of me. I want to make them something special.” In so many ways, she has made many others’ lives special.
