(note – this was missed in the newspaper this week. Much apologies to all of the great Pearl Killingbeck fans – ps she is our favourite columnist as well, but don’t tell anybody because it is a secret)

What a great get together at the Maples on Wednesday December 6 for Harriett Riddell’s 84th birthday. 15 people attended, it was a great meal as usual. Thank you Elaine for the beautiful carrot cake you always make, and everyone loves. (The staff at the Maples always love it too!) Happy birthday Harriett, we wish you many many more.

Friday morning at Coffee Break was the community doing it together. There was a great crowd. It was nice to see Joelle and Don’s son Scott out enjoying a coffee. He lives in Orillia, Ontario. Get well wishes go out to Allan Massey.
