Welcome to the 50th Annual
Parade Marshall:
​
For thirteen years Anita Warholik’s smiling face and welcoming “hi” has been greeting visitors as they enter the Village Office 4935 – 50 Street.
Anita first set her feet into our lake, sand and ground 18 years ago. Her recreational time includes outdoor activities, exploring the natural beauty of our lake and surrounding forested areas while being in the moment with friends, family and acquaintances.
Anita participates in fundraising to benefit children’s activities available in Alberta Beach. She has helped raise funds to reconstruct the skating rink and sports supplies to our Beachwave Park. Anita’s ability to bring together a village is contagious. Her motto is “Together We Can Make It Happen”
Anita is honoured to be our 2024 Parade Marshal this 50th anniversary of Polynesian Days. We thank you for all she has contributed and done in the past and will do for an anticipated awesome future.
