Team Fergmeijer sat down to make their annual summer ‘to do’ list. It consists of mostly naps, coffee breaks, and swimming. It’s going to be a good summer. We hope yours is shaping up to be just as great. If you’re worried there won’t be enough to do, read on…

The next library movie night is tomorrow. Bring the kids out to watch Kung Fu Panda 3 on the big screen! Be sure to check the Billings Library Facebook page for more details. Show starts at 7pm and admission is free.

On Sunday, treat Dad to a Father’s Day pancake breakfast at the Park Centre. Doors open at 8am and service runs until 11am.

A very happy 29th birthday goes out to Karlene who celebrated last Tuesday with cake and balloons a-plenty!

The Kagawong Folk/Roots Collective has a couple of performances coming up in Mindemoya on June 18 (7:30pm at the Mindemoya United Church), and Gore Bay on June 25 (7:30pm at the Lyons Memorial United Church). Tickets for either show are $10 at the door, and light snacks and beverages will be provided. Come out and join the fun!
