Episode 31 of the River Valley Podcast rolls out May 1st, 2026, and this one’s packed like a pickup on moving day.

Bonnie sits down for Talk of the Town with Yolandi Burnett from the Lumsden Craven Seniors Program, and it’s the kind of conversation that sticks with you. Real stories, real impact, and a reminder of just how much is happening behind the scenes to support seniors in our community.

Karen returns with Monthly Bookmark, walking us through everything coming up at the library in May, from programs to opportunities you might not even know are right in your backyard.

We’ve got your Town Council update and news, keeping you in the loop on what’s being discussed and decided locally, plus another chapter From the Files of Did You Know, digging into a story that adds a little more depth to the place we call home.

And of course, we’ve rounded up all the upcoming events so you don’t miss a thing happening around town.

We’ll be straight with you, parts of this episode come with a little rough audio. Let’s just say our equipment might be hinting it’s ready for retirement. But the stories, the conversations, and the community? Still crystal clear where it counts.

Season 3, Episode 30 of the River Valley Podcast is one that carries a little extra weight… and a whole lot of pride.

This special episode celebrates 65 years of service, community, and quiet impact from the Lumsden District Lions Club—a group that’s been showing up, pitching in, and making a difference in ways that often go unseen, but never unfelt.

In Talk of the Town, Bonnie sits down with two voices who know that legacy firsthand. Linda Whitteron shares what it means to lead the club today, the challenges, the victories, and the heartbeat behind keeping it strong. Bryan Matheson reflects on the years gone by, offering stories, perspective, and a look at how the Lions have shaped—and been shaped by—the Lumsden community over decades.

There’s also another edition of Bylaws and Order, where things get just serious enough to matter… and just light enough to keep you listening. Add, the latest local news, upcoming events, and the usual back-and-forth that keeps things grounded and real.
